background and aim . gingival recession as the apical migration of the gingival margin that results in exposure of the cementoenamel junction (cej) and the root surface. in this case series we aimed to demonstrate a combination technique using semilunar coronally positioned flap with free gingival graft for root coverage. materials and methods . a total of 12 healthy subjects, 25-45 years of ag...

background: the success of combined periodontal and orthodontic approach in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis patients with the pathologic extruded anterior teeth is a main concern and stability of the treatment results is an important factor to evaluate the treatment. the present study investigated the periodontal parameters at the end of the orthodontic treatment in patients with the ...

Objectives: 1) to compare the regeneration with and without applying nanohydroxyapetite (nHA) bone graft and to determine if there is a clinical potential benefits of nHA in the regeneration on postextraction alveolar bone healing of distal bone defects of mandibular 2 nd molar, 2) to determine whether there are differences in postoperative clinical symptoms between the two groups. Study Design...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Previously, we reported that SRP resulted in a decrease in mean pocket depth and attachment level and reduced prevalence and levels of Bacteroidesforsythus, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Treponema denticola at 3 and 6 months post-SRP in 57 subjects with adult periodontitis. 32 of the 57 subjects were monitored at 9 and 12 months. Thus, the purpose of the present investigation wa...

S Background: Periodontal disease is one of the two major dental diseases that affect human populations worldwide at high prevalence rates. Although it is primarily caused by bacterial plaque, its incidence and severity is modified by an individual’s inflammatory response, systemic health, and various local factors that predispose to plaque accumulation. The correlation between some systemic di...

background and aims. changes in the balance of sexual hormones during pregnancy decrease gingival crevicular fluid levels of interleukin-6 and the resistance of gingival tissue against inflammations. hormonal contraceptives are agents that are based on the effects of gestational hormones and simulate a state of pregnancy; therefore, they prevent ovulation. this study evaluates the effect of the...

Background: The present study aims to determine the relationship between level of periodontal pocket depth with weight gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)using an analytical balance. Material and Methods: This is observational analytic a cross-sectional approach. was analyzed by probing. Twenty-seven subjects were divided into three groups, namely, group 1 (with normal depth: 0-3.5 mm), 2 (pocket 3...

AIM A double-blind randomized controlled trial to determine whether dietary supplementation with fruit/vegetable/berry juice powder concentrates, simultaneously with non-surgical periodontal therapy, improved 2-month treatment outcomes. METHODS Volunteers with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned to one of three groups: fruit/vegetable (FV), fruit/vegetable/berry (FVB) or placebo. Sup...
