THe efficacy of these therapies Has been demonstrated for mucositis. Controlled clinical trials sHow an improvement in clinical parameters, especially in bleeding on probing. For peri-implantitis, the results are limited, especially in terms of probing pocket depth reduction.

We searched relevant electronic databases for eligible randomized controlled trials. Two review authors independently screened, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. We conducted meta-analysis, assessed heterogeneity, and assessed certainty of evidence using GRADEPro software. We included 19 studies (n = 1350 participants), representing 18 randomized controlled trials and found very little or no impact of antibiotics on inflammatory biomarkers. A meta-analysis of eight studies demonstrated a mean reduction of 0.26 mm in the periodontal pockets at three months (mean difference [MD] 0.26, 95%CI: 0.36 to 0.17, n = 372 participants, moderate certainty of evidence) in favor of the − − − antibiotics.

    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.
