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...

A numerical re-formulation of Marou’s integral for slender body analysis of calm-water planing hydrodynamics with gravity wave-making is developed. Numerical computations are performed first for a flat triangular planing plate. The triangular planing plate has been the subject of previous work with the base Maruo theory. The comparisons are supportive of the formulation for performing wave lift...

Banyak pasien dewasa membutuhkan perawatan ortodonti karena alasan estetis. Selain itu, untuk mengoreksi maloklusi dapat membantu melakukan prosedur kontrol plak yang adekuat. Namun, klinisi tidak memulai ketika jaringan periodontal belum stabil dan dalam kondisi inflamasi. Oleh harus mendiagnosa mempersiapkan agar sehat sebelum ortodonti. diperlukan waktu mencapai setelah terapi periodontal. P...

BACKGROUND Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an exceedingly rare but well-defined inherited disorder of platelet function caused by a defect in the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex. The association of GT with consanguinity has been noted, especially in geographic regions in which intermarriage is common. In most patients, GT is diagnosed during early infancy or before the age of 5 years. Common man...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Recent in vitro studies indicate that enamel matrix derivative (EMD) could modulate the growth of periodontopathogens. The aim of the presented study was an analysis of the influence of EMD on the presence of Porphyromonas and Prevotella bacteria in the periodontal pockets of patients with chronic periodontitis in non-surgical periodontal therapy. MATERIALS AND METH...

* MS; **PhD – Department of Periodontology, School of Dentistry of Araraquara, São Paulo State University. ABSTRACT: The aim of the present parallel, double-blind investigation was to evaluate the effect of using systemic metronidazole alone or associated to scaling and root planing on adult chronic periodontal disease, monitored at baseline, 30, 60 and 90 days. Twelve subjects were divided int...

Introduction: A multifactorial condition characterised by an increase in size is called gingival enlargement. Most common form drug induced Different treatment options to manage overgrowth are categorised as non-surgical approach and surgical approach. Non-surgical mechanical periodontal gold standard of therapy first recommended control infections. Objective: To determine clinical effect scali...

OBJECTIVES To compare and evaluate the root surface roughness after using two polishing instruments for root planing. MATERIALS AND METHODS This comparative study was carried out on a sample of ten extracted human teeth with twenty interproximal root surfaces. Control group 1 and 2: (n=20 root surface): Gracey Curettes, 15 vertical strokes. Test group 1 (n=10): control group 1 + Termination D...

Background: Periodontal disease is a chronic infection of the periodontium affecting the soft and mineralized tissues surrounding the teeth. Numerous therapeutic strategies have been aimed at eradication of the pathogens responsible for periodontal disease, including antimicrobial therapy both systemic and local. Objectives: 1. To compare local and systemic delivery of antimicrobial agents 2. T...
