    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.

  • Clinical and Biochemical Valuation of Enzymatic and Nonenzymatic Stress Markers Following Full-Mouth Disinfection in Aggressive
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH Clinical and Biochemical Valuation of Enzymatic and Nonenzymatic Stress Markers Following Full-mouth Disinfection in Aggressive Periodontitis Rajeev Arunachalam1 , Vini Rajeev2 , Ramesh Kumaresan3 , Sarath B Kurra4 ABSTRACT Introduction: Assessment of host response to inflammation will throw light on the critical role of antioxidants (AOs) and free radicle damage in the etiology of periodontal disease. The purpose of the study was to assess the level of plasma oxidative stress in those having aggressive periodontal disease before and after full-mouth disinfection. Objectives were to find the influence of full-mouth disinfection analyzing the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARSs), thereby quantifying the lipid peroxidation (LPO) and also the activities of reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPX ), and catalase (CAT), valuing the AO defense systems in health and disease. Materials and methods: The valuation composed of 30 subjects with aggressive periodontal disease and 30 healthy controls. Clinical assessment included following periodontal parameters: plaque index (PI), papillary bleeding index (PBI), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL). Levels of bone loss were assessed by taking full-mouth periapical radiographs. Initial periodontal therapy comprises of full-mouth disinfection which includes subgingival scaling and root planing within 24 hours combined with adjunctive chlorhexidine chemotherapy for aggressive periodontitis subject’s at sites indicated. The parameters (clinical) were evaluated at the baseline and 8 weeks after initial periodontal therapy at six sites of teeth indicated. Plasma samples were taken and evaluated by standard procedures as defined in the literature. All the values were weighed and related. Results: Strong positive associations were detected among periodontal parameters and TBARS, enzymatic/nonenzymatic AO levels (p < 0.05), and pre- and postperiodontal management.

  • What Is a Prosthodontist and the Dental Specialty of Prosthodontics?
    What is a Prosthodontist and the Dental Specialty of Prosthodontics? Prosthodontics is a dental specialty recognized by the ADA National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards and is the area of dentistry that focuses on dental prosthetics. The ADA has defined prosthodontics as “the dental specialty pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes.” A prosthodontist has three years of extended training in several areas of restorative dentistry, including dental implants, crowns, bridges, complete dentures, partial dentures, esthetics, occlusion, and facial and dental birth developmental defects. Prosthodontists are also trained in the technical and technological aspects of laboratory fabrication of complex dental prosthetics and complex restoration of dental and facial esthetics. Maxillofacial prosthetics is a branch of prosthodontics that requires one additional year of fellowship training with a focus on treatment of patients who have acquired and congenital defects of the head and neck region due to cancer, surgery, trauma, and birth defects. Prosthodontics has an emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment planning of patients who have complex dental needs and on providing treatment services that primarily involve the repair or replacement of natural teeth with a variety of fixed or removable prosthetic options. Increased patient demand for esthetic services and for implant-supported prostheses has caused an increased emphasis on these types of procedures in prosthodontic training programs and practices. To successfully manage these patient needs, prosthodontists collaborate with all members of the dental team, including other specialty colleagues, general dentists, dental hygienists, and laboratory technicians.
