Introduction: Salivary biomarkers may elucidate orodental inflammatory processes. Nitric oxide (NO) may help us to diagnose such changes . Methods: In this case-control study, all referral patients diagnosed with 130% sites were enrolled as generalized mild to moderate periodontitis group (PG). All PG and healthy control group (CG)’ individuals underwent scaling and root planning (SRP)...

introduction: the efficiency of routine scaling and root planning is negatively influenced by the tooth anatomy and residual bacteria all possibly affecting the treatment outcomes in future. the present study compared the microbiologic effectiveness of the photodynamic therapy (pdt) as an adjunctive treatment modality for nonsurgical treatment in chronic periodontitis. methods: in this randomiz...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Scaling and root planing is one of the most commonly used procedures for the treatment of periodontal diseases. Removal of calculus using conventional hand instruments is incomplete and rather time consuming. In search of more efficient and less difficult instrumentation, investigators have proposed lasers as an alternative or as adjuncts to scaling and root planing. H...

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and microbiological effects of subgingival minocycline microgranules when used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in subjects with Chronic periodontitis. Twenty-six non-smoker volunteers participated in the study. Four opposite sites, clinically standardized, with bleeding on probing (BOP) and pocket depth (PD) ≥ 6 mm were selected. Baseline...

Before new treatment concepts can be used in daily practice, a critical analysis of the present scientific literature is necessary. The concept of full-mouth disinfection (FMD) was introduced as a new alternative treatment for the non-surgical therapy of inflammatory periodontal diseases, and is becoming more and more popular in dental practice. The following article provides a short survey and...

This umbrella review was conducted to assess the existing literature and scientific evidence on air powder water jet technology (APWJT) in periodontal peri-implantitis therapy. A systematic search for reviews meta-analyses of last decade use APWJT periodontitis implant patients performed databases MEDLINE/Ovid, Embase, Cochrane library Scopus. An additional hand PubMed Google Scholar conducted....

BACKGROUND Scaling and root planing (SRP) is a conventional treatment for chronic periodontitis; however, it has limitations in treating deep pockets. To enhance its efficacy, chlorhexidine (CHX) proposed as adjunctive therapy with SRP due to broad antimicrobial spectrum, low systemic toxic activity humans, absence of oral microorganism resistance, lack teratogenic effects. This study aimed kno...

BACKGROUND Recent preclinical and clinical data have suggested a potential benefit of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of periodontitis. However, there are very limited data from controlled clinical trials evaluating the effect of PDT in the treatment of periodontitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiologic effects of the adjunctive use of PDT to non-sur...
