The aim of this study was to analyze, under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the morphologic characteristics of root surfaces after application of Carisolv gel in association with scaling and root planing (SRP). Sixty periodontally compromised extracted human teeth were randomly assigned to 6 groups: 1) SRP alone; 2) passive topical application of Carisolv + SRP; 3) active topical applicatio...

Aim: To evaluate the potency of systemic anti-oxidants in non-surgical treatment generalised chronic periodontitis. Objective: Purpose this short term clinical study is to ascertain whether or not daily supplementation antioxidants adjunctively used after scaling and root planing (SRP) would improve condition periodontitis using C-reactive protein (CRP) as inflammatory markers index needs (CPTI...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review the evidence of effectiveness of surgical vs. non-surgical therapy for the treatment of chronic periodontal disease. METHODS A search was conducted for randomized controlled trials of at least 12 months duration comparing surgical with non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontal disease. Data sources included the National Library of Medicine computerised b...

background and aims. along with conventional periodontal therapy, subginigval application of platelet-rich plasma (prp) may provide more effective improvements in clinical parameters due to the presence of multiple growth factors. the aim of this double-blind, split-mouth, randomized study was to evaluate the adjunctive use of prp with scaling and root planing (srp) in the treatment of chronic ...

background and aims. the aim of this investigation was to compare clinical and microbiological effectiveness of ad-junctive photodynamic therapy (pdt) in the treatment of periodontitis. materials and methods. twenty-four subjects (14 women and 10 men) diagnosed with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis underwent scaling and root planing (srp). one tooth in each quadrant (probing depth >4 mm...

BACKGROUND Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is a composite of proteins that was demonstrated histologically to work as an adjunct to periodontal regenerative surgical therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and histologic effects of EMD as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. METHODS Four patients with severe chronic periodontitis and scheduled to receive complete den...

In this paper, the author has reviewed the microbial & clinical impacts of the one-stage full-mouth disinfection and quadrant scaling root planing in Periodontics. Periodontal diseases are one of the most common in the oral cavity and have an infectious nature triggered by pathogenic microorganisms that first lead to gingivitis and may develop to periodontitis and, if not treated, to tooth loss...
