abstract- the adverse effects of periodontal disease on dental pulp has been debated for many years. this case- control study was performed to assess the possible effects of advanced periodontal disease on the structure of dental pulp. fifty-two permanent teeth extracted because of advanced periodontitis with  5mm attachment loss and grade iii mobility were compared to fifty-two control teeth,...

different studies have reported contradictory results about the effect of osteoporosis on periodontal status. we performed this study to evaluate the periodontal status of menopausal women by methods with enough accuracy and confidence.this study was performed based on the evaluation of bone mineral density using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry in 2010. a total of 60 patients who met the inclu...

OBJECTIVE This study is designed to evaluate the frequency of periodontal disease in a group of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and how this relates with diabetes metabolic control, duration of diabetes, and presence of diabetic complications. METHODS A comparison was made of periodontal parameters (plaque index, bleeding index, pocket depth and attachment loss) in a group of diabetic ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a radial firing tip of an Er,Cr:YSGG laser as an adjunct to a nonsurgical periodontal treatment. METHODS Twelve patients with chronic or aggressive periodontitis were treated by conventional periodontal treatment using ultrasonic devices and hand instruments and, additionally, in two quadrants with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser. A new...

Purpose: Traditional approaches to mechanical debridement of the tooth surface to remove tooth accretions continue to be an integral part of periodontal therapy. The purpose of the present study was to test the effectiveness of mechanical non-surgical therapy in subjects with moderate to severe gingivitis and periodontitis. Methods: Ten subjects of moderate to severe gingivitis/periodontits wer...

Periodontal disease is manifested clinically by a degradation of the ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. The most widely used diagnostic tool for assessment of periodontal diseases, measurement of periodontal attachment loss with a manual probe, may overestimate attachment loss by as much as 2 mm in untreated sites, while underestimating attachment loss by an even greater margin follo...

BACKGROUND The most important aetiological factor of periodontal disease is plaque deposition around gingival margin. The aim of the study was to investigate the negative changes in periodontal health (increase in pocket depth) of first molars in fixed orthodontic treatment and to discuss the available options to avoid it. METHODS Group A (6 month of treatment) comprised of 45 patients, compa...
