The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative, minimally invasive, flapless corticotomy procedure in orthodontics. The STROBE guidelines were followed. Ten patients with severe dental crowding and a class I molar relationship were selected to receive orthodontic treatment with clear aligners and corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics. The mean age of these p...

BACKGROUND Studies have demonstrated that periodontal disease is associated with the development of systemic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate which markers among various systemic disease parameters are affected by periodontal treatment in patients with T2DM. METHODS Twelve patients with T2DM were given oral hygi...

UNLABELLED Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the most commonly known human chronic disorders. The relationship between PD and several systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM) has been increasingly recognized over the past decades. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review is to provide the reader with knowledge concerning the relationship between PD and DM. Many articles have been publish...

INTRODUCTION Epidemiological studies show that individuals with periodontitis have a radically amplified threat to develop cardiovascular disease. CRP& TNF-α, are acute phase proteins monitored as a marker of inflammatory status, which have been identified as a major risk factor for atherosclerotic complications. Elevated CRP & TNF-α level in periodontitis patients have been reported by several...

Introduction: The association between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease has been studied in the last years, and several studies conclude that diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for the development of gingivitis and/or periodontitis in both diabetes type 1 and 2. In this review article we intend to demonstrate the possible association between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease, as...

Clinical features of surgical soft tissue wound healing in dentistry have been rarely discussed in the international literature. The aim of the present paper is to highlight both the main clinical findings of surgical wound healing, especially in periodontal and implant dentistry, and the wound healing monitoring procedures which should be followed. Wound inspection after careful food and plaqu...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal and prosthodontic complications of multiple freestanding implants in the posterior jaws for up to 1 year of function. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight patients received 20 implants posterior to canines. Two or more implants were consecutively inserted to each patient. Single crowns were delivered onto the implants. Marginal bone loss, i...

Periodontal disease is a microbe-induced chronic inflammatory condition that leads to gingival inflammation, periodontal tissue destruction, and alveolar bone loss (108). Certain anaerobic gramnegative bacteria within the plaque biofilm are the major etiological agents of periodontal disease (62). However, as our understanding of the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases expands, it is becoming ...

BACKGROUND The association between diabetes and inflammatory periodontal diseases has been studied extensively for more than 50 years. The author reviews the bidirectional relationships between diabetes and periodontal diseases. CONCLUSIONS A large evidence base suggests that diabetes is associated with an increased prevalence, extent and severity of gingivitis and periodontitis. Furthermore,...

Periodontal disease is categorized by the destruction of periodontal tissues. Over the years, there have been several clinical techniques and material options that been investigated for periodontal defect repair/regeneration. The development of improved biomaterials for periodontal tissue engineering has significantly improved the available treatment options and their clinical results. Bone rep...
