Background and Objectives: The most common treatment procedure for periodontitis gingivitis is scaling root planing, which perceived as a painful dental treatment. current study aimed to assess pain perception analgesics consumption after planing (SRP) in patients with stage II III periodontitis. Materials Methods: Before starting the SRP, all periodontal parameters, such probing depth (PD), bl...

background and aims. the aim of this clinical investigation was to compare clinical and microbiological effectiveness of adjunctive chx gel in the treatment of periodontitis. materials and methods. twenty-four subjects with localized or generalized moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis underwent scaling and root planing. one tooth in each quadrant with a probing depth of >4 mm was chosen for...

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between initial probing depth (IPD) and changes in clinical parameters following non-surgical periodontal treatment (NPT) in chronic periodontitis patients. Subjects and Methods A total of 1672 periodontal pockets having 3mm≤IPD≤9mm of depth in 15 chronic periodontitis patients were included. NPT consisting of oral hygiene instruc...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the combination therapy of deep intrabony periodontal defects using an Er:YAG laser (ERL) and enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) to scaling and root planing+ ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)+EMD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-two patients with chronic periodontitis, each of whom displayed 1 intrabony defect, were randomly treated ...
