The aim of this longitudinal prospective study was to evaluate the effects of periodontal treatment on the clinical, microbiological and immunological periodontal parameters, and on the systemic activity (ESSDAI) and subjective (ESSPRI) indexes in patients with primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS). Twenty-eight female patients were divided into four groups: pSS patients with or without chronic peri...

Although scaling and root planing is a cost-effective approach for initial treatment of chronic periodontitis, it fails to eliminate subgingival pathogens and halt progressive attachment loss in some patients. Adjunctive use of systemic antibiotics immediately after completion of scaling and root planing can enhance the degree of clinical attachment gain and probing depth reduction provided by ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of periodontal non-surgical therapy on serum levels of the inflammatory cytokines in chronic periodontitis subjects with stable coronary heart disease. METHODS Seventy-five subjects with both chronic periodontitis (CP) and stable coronary heart disease (CHD) were enrolled in the study. Forty subjects received periodontal nonsurgical treatment including oral h...

Extensive intraosseous lesions represent a clinical challenge for the periodontist. Sites with bone defects have been shown to be at higher risk of periodontitis progression in patients who had not received periodontal therapy. Thus, the aim of this case report was to describe a novel approach for the treatment of 1-walled intraosseous defect by combining nonsurgical periodontal therapy and ort...

Plasma cell gingivitis is a rare benign condition of the gingiva of unknown etiology characterized by sharply demarcated erythematous and edematous gingiva often extending to the mucogingival junction. This is sometimes considered as a hypersensitive reaction. It presents clinically as a diffuse, erythematous and papillary lesion of the gingiva, which frequently bleeds with minimal trauma. The ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the level inflammatory marker IL-36β in serum and gingival crevicular fluid type 2 diabetic non-diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis, before after phase I therapy. Methods: A total fifty subjects included study; 20 Type periodontitis (group I) systemically healthy II) addition 10 clinically gingiva as a control group III). nonsurgical peri...

For management of a symptomatic maxillary lateral incisor with dull pain on chewing, suppurative sinus tract, defective metal-ceramic crown and iatrogenic internal root resorption, an interdisciplinary approach was taken. Two-visit nonsurgical treatment with calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, replacement of metal-ceramic crown with all-ceramic crown and corrective periodontal plastic surger...

introduction : root-end preparation and restoration with an endodontic material are required when nonsurgical endodontic retreatment has failed or is impossible. the present clinical study reports the treatment outcomes of periradicular surgery using calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. materials and methods: a prospective outcome study of periradicular surgery using cem was conducted on 14 p...
