ABSTRACT Assessment of tooth mobility is considered as an integral part of periodontal evaluation because it is one of the important factors that determine the prognosis of periodontal diseases.The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the survival rate of teeth with grade II mobility after periodontal therapy.This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study, conducted among patients who reported to the university dental hospital. Subjects above 18 years of age, subjects who underwent periodontal therapy in tooth with grade II mobility, and completed at least a six month followup evaluation were included in this study. Smokers, medically compromised patients were excluded from this study.

Abstract: Periodontitis consists of a progressive destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Considering that probiotics are being proposed as a support to the gold standard treatment Scaling-and-Root- Planing (SRP), this study aims to assess two new formulations (toothpaste and chewing-gum). 60 patients were randomly assigned to three domiciliary hygiene treatments: Group 1 (SRP + chlorhexidine-based toothpaste) (control), Group 2 (SRP + probiotics-based toothpaste) and Group 3 (SRP + probiotics-based toothpaste + probiotics-based chewing-gum). At baseline (T0) and after 3 and 6 months (T1–T2), periodontal clinical parameters were recorded, along with microbiological ones by means of a commercial kit. As to the former, no significant differences were shown at T1 or T2, neither in controls for any index, nor in the experimental

    Paradigms Shifts in Periodontal Therapy: Implementing Evolving Protocols -Kristy Menage Bernie, RDH, MS, RYT – [email protected] ‐ Scientific paradigms have long been the cornerstone of clinical practice and daily care, yet many of these paradigms are not the “reality.” Emerging sciences have led to key understanding of new methods to prevent and manage periodontal disease, which has necessitated integration and implementation for the progressive clinician. This interactive session will include a review of accelerated periodontal instrumentation protocols and the new gingivitis code, and incorporate recommendations from the AAP Comprehensive Periodontal Therapy document, which will inspire attendees to unconscious competency! Our Opportunities: Gain an understanding of how change occurs and the influence of paradigms versus the realities of our professional protocols and outcomes. Review innovative and evolving technologies and products designed to prevent and treat periodontal diseases. Implement accelerated periodontal instrumentation protocols based on appropriate periodontal coding, as specified in the AAP treatment guidelines.

  • The Efficiency of Initial Phase Treatment in Chronic Marginal Periodontitis
    European Scientific Journal December 2014 edition vol.10, No.36 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE EFFICIENCY OF INITIAL PHASE TREATMENT IN CHRONIC MARGINAL PERIODONTITIS Adriana Monea, Lecturer, DMD, PhD Department of Odontology and Periodontology Faculty of Dental Medicine, UMF Tîrgu-Mureş, Romania Diana Pop, Student Faculty of Dental Medicine, UMF Tîrgu-Mureş, Romania Gabriela Beresescu, Lecturer, DMD, PhD Department of Morphology of Teeth and Dental Arches Faculty of Medicine, UMF Tîrgu-Mureş, Romania Abstract Aim of the study. To evaluate the efficiency of initial periodontal treatment by measuring indices of oral hygiene, gum inflammation and periodontal pocket depth before and after treatment. Material and methods. 20 adult subjects were included in the study. Clinical examination included measurements of attached gingiva width, gum inflammation (GI), oral hygiene (OHI), periodontal pocket depth (PD), gingival recession (GR) and tooth mobility. The treatment had consisted of plaque control, supra- and subgingival scaling and root planing (SPR). Treatment success was quantified by measuring of the above indices before and after treatment. Results. OHI values decreased with 28,64% after DRP and GII decreased with 51,11%. From the total of 1289 sites with values ≥4mm, 512 sites got normal values at probing after initial treatment, the rest of 777 sites still had pathologic values, requiring further pocket reduction treatment. Conclusions. Initial therapy is the only therapy needed for patients with superficial periodontal disease, but patients with aggressive or deep forms of periodontitis would require further pocket depth reduction treatment. Keywords: Periodontitis, scaling and root planing, periodontal indices Introduction Data from literature consider subgingival microflora as the main etiologic factor of different forms of periodontal disease (Carranza, 2001).

The study aims to discern their respective effects on periodontal clinical parameters and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Methods: Ninety-one patients were included, 34 non-smokers (NS), 25 former smokers (FS) and 32 current smoker (CS). Clinical parameters such as probing depth (PD) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were collected, and the periodontal inflamed tissue area (PISA) was calculated. Clinical parameters and PROMs were recorded before and after receiving OHI, with electronic tooth brush and interdental brushes, as well as 3 months after debridement. Results: Smokers presented a significantly higher proportion of severe periodontitis (64.7%) with generalized extension (76.5%) and with a rapid rate of progression (97.1%) compared to NS and FS.

However, additional clinical studies on tooth mobility parameters would be desirable. Therefore, the aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the potential association of various parameters (patient- and tooth-related clinical, radiographic and anatomical parameters) with the presence and grade of mobility of periodontally involved teeth in chronic periodontitis patients, prior to the initiation of periodontal therapy. Methods: Forty chronic periodontitis patients with 683 periodontally involved teeth were studied. Clinical measurements of full-mouth plaque score (FMPS), gingival index simplified (GI-S), full-mouth bleeding on probing score (FMBS), clinical attachment loss (CAL), probing pocket depth (PD) and tooth mobility grade, and radiographic measurements of linear radiographic alveolar bone support (RBS) and loss (RBL) were performed. The type of radiographic alveolar bone loss (TRBL; horizontal or angular) and the presence of any periapical radiolucency (PR) with dimensions ≥1 mm × 1 mm were also recorded. Statistical analyses evaluated the association of dichotomous or continuous variables with tooth mobility presence and grade.

One of these systemic problems is osteoporosis, which may be a risk factor for the onset and exacerbation of periodontitis. This study tends to evaluate periodontal indices in osteoporotic menopausal women and compare them with healthy controls. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, participants included 45-75 year-old menopausal women referred to rheumatology wards of the Khatamolanbia Clinic and Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd; their bone density was determined by DEXA-scan and by imaging the femoral-lumbar bone. Thirty patients with osteoporosis and 30 subjects with normal BMD were selected. Then, informed consent was obtained for participation in the study. During the clinical examinations, tooth loss (TL), plaque index (PI), gingival recession, pocket probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment lost (CAL), and tooth mobility (TM) were measured to evaluate the periodontal status.

R V Dental College Bangalore, India Abstract Gingival enlargement or overgrowth is a well-known adverse effect associated with three major groups of drugs i.e., anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, and immunosuppressants. Among calcium channel blockers, nifedipine is the commonest cause for drug induced gingival overgrowth with the incidence of 10% whereas case report of gingival enlargement due to amlodipine are very less compared to nifedipine. Hence, we hereby report a case of amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth which intends to highlight the efficacy of conservative management with scaling, root planing and drug substitution. Keywords: gingival overgrowth, amlodipine, scaling and root planing, drug substitution. Introduction which are “isolated” are those confined to gingiva Gingival enlargement or gingival overgrowth is adjacent to single or two teeth (e.g., characterized by an increase in the size of gingiva. gingival/periodontal abscess). Lesions which are Gingival enlargements can be classified depending “discrete” include isolated sessile or pedunculated, on the etiologic factors and pathologic changes, tumor-like enlargements (e.g., fibroma/pyogenic according to location and distribution and/or granuloma).
