background: periodontal infections, which serve as a reservoir of inflammatory mediators, may pose a threat to the fetal-placental unit and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. objective: the aim of this study was assessing the periodontal status of women during puerperium and determining the possible relationship between their periodontal disease and low birth weight delivery. materials and metho...

Cyclic Neutropenia (CN) is characterized by recurrent infections, fever, oral ulcerations, and severe periodontitis as result of the reduced host defences. The previous studies have established the effectiveness of recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) to increase the number and the function of neutrophils in the peripheral blood in this disease. In a 20-year-old Caucasian fe...

background and aims. along with conventional periodontal therapy, subginigval application of platelet-rich plasma (prp) may provide more effective improvements in clinical parameters due to the presence of multiple growth factors. the aim of this double-blind, split-mouth, randomized study was to evaluate the adjunctive use of prp with scaling and root planing (srp) in the treatment of chronic ...

background: this study was performed to evaluate and compare the clinical and antimicrobial efficacy of subgingival irrigation with tetracycline and povidone‑iodine as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal therapy. materials and methods: twenty subjects with chronic moderate periodontitis were recruited in this split‑mouth study with probing pocket depth of >3 and ≤5 mm and clinical attachment ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of InGaAsP diode laser as adjunct to traditional scaling and root planing. BACKGROUND DATA The use of laser is one of the most recent methods in nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Efficacy and side effects of each type of laser treatment have yet to be determined. METHODS Thirty patients suffering from moderate periodontal di...

ABSTRACT 
 Back Ground: The aim of this current study is to identify the changes in haematological values subjects with periodontal disease as compared periodontally healthy individuals and establish relationship between chronic periodontitis anemic status patients by correlating parameters following Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy.
 Methodology: present case-control included hundred ...

Fusion of teeth is a developmental anomaly. It occurs at the stage of tooth formation, which determines the shape and size of the tooth crown, when one or more teeth fuse at the dentin level during the morphodifferentiation of the dental germs. Such teeth show macrodontia and may cause crowding, as well as esthetic and endodontic problems. In this article, we report a rare case of a maxillary c...
