The general risk factor of periodontal disease is oral microbial infection, which can induce inflammation of the gingiva, and if not treated on time, it affects the periodontium in general [2,3]. Periodontal disease is the most common oral disease with a high prevalence of 20–50% of the world population [4]. Gingivitis and periodontitis are typical periodon- tal diseases [1]. Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease, which is limited to gingival inflammation and is reversible [5]. Conversely, periodontitis is irreversible, accompanied by alveolar bone defect, can induce tooth mobility when untreated, and finally, leads to tooth extraction [6]. Periodontal defect is caused by chronic pathological conditions, such as periodontitis, and exhibits the loss of gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Various procedures to support the regeneration of the periodontal tissue as well as therapeutics to enhance the wound healing process have been studied. A specialized oral environment with saliva and oral microorganisms can affect the defect for- mation and wound healing process. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of periodontal wound healing and discuss the complications and factors influencing the healing process and therapeutics for improving periodontal wound healing. 2. Normal Wound Healing Wound healing is a dynamic process, which has been a challenge in the clinical setting after treatment. Much effort has been focused on wound management for developing healing techniques and new treatment approaches. Basically, the wound healing pro- cess consists of four distinct but overlapping phases [7]: 1. hemostasis and coagulation, 2. inflammation, 3. cell proliferation, and 4. wound remodeling and maturation (Figure2). This general principle of wound healing also applies to periodontal wound healing [8]. The wound healing procedure involves several types of cells, extracellular matrix, cytokines, and growth factors. Understanding wound healing with regard to various aspects of cells, molecules, physiology, and biochemistry is important to regenerate tissues that are functionally and structurally indistinguishable from the original tissue and not repaired tissue with fibrotic scars. If there is an injury that damages the vessel, hemorrhage is the first process to begin on the wound site. Under normal conditions, a molecular machinery for blood clot formation is immediately operated, protecting the injury site and serving the provisional matrix for cell migration. Blood clot formation continues to the initial in- flammatory stage, in which inflammatory cells, including polymorphonuclear neutrophils and monocytes, are activated. These cells clean the wounds of necrotic tissue and bacteria and secrete various enzymes for wound debridement. This inflammatory response shifts into the late phase where macrophages move into the wound area and secrete cytokines or growth factors for the cells involved in the wound healing process. Following the inflammatory stage, granulation tissue formation is initiated with collagen accumulation. Cytokines and growth factors by macrophages induce the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells into the wound site. This cell-rich granulation tissue activates the phase of matrix formation and maturation. Fibroblasts replace the provisional extracellular matrix by producing a new collagen-rich matrix, and the endothelial cells are involved in angiogenesis for vascularization. Subsequently, wound epithelization is conducted by epithelial cells from the basal layer.

  • Long-Term Uncontrolled Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis: a Case Report
    Long-term Uncontrolled Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis: A Case Report Abstract Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition characterized by varying degrees of gingival hyperplasia. Gingival fibromatosis usually occurs as an isolated disorder or can be associated with a variety of other syndromes. A 33-year-old male patient who had a generalized severe gingival overgrowth covering two thirds of almost all maxillary and mandibular teeth is reported. A mucoperiosteal flap was performed using interdental and crevicular incisions to remove excess gingival tissues and an internal bevel incision to reflect flaps. The patient was treated 15 years ago in the same clinical facility using the same treatment strategy. There was no recurrence one year following the most recent surgery.

For example your title slide does not need to have the title of your EPoster in a box surrounded with a pink border. Intrusion of Incisors to Facilitate Restoration: The Impact on the Periodontium Names of Investigators Date Background and Purpose This 60 year old male had severe attrition of his maxillary and mandibular incisors due to a protrusive bruxing habit. The patient’s restorative dentist could not restore the mandibular incisors without significant crown lengthening. However, with orthodontic intrusion of the incisors, the restorative dentist was able to restore these teeth without further incisal edge reduction, crown lengthening, or endodontic treatment. When teeth are intruded in adults, what is the impact on the periodontium? The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adult incisor intrusion on the alveolar bone level and on root length. Materials and Methods We collected the orthodontic records of 43 consecutively treated adult patients (aged > 19 years) from four orthodontic practices. This project was approved by the IRB at our university. Records were selected based upon the following criteria: • incisor intrusion attempted to create interocclusal space for restorative treatment or correction of excessive anterior overbite • pre- and posttreatment periapical and cephalometric radiographs were available • no incisor extraction or restorative procedures affecting the cementoenamel junction during the treatment period pretreatment pretreatment Materials and Methods We used cephalometric and periapical radiographs to measure incisor intrusion. The radiographs were imported and the digital images were analyzed with Image J, a public-domain Java image processing program developed at the US National Institutes of Health.

Clinical and radiographic examination leading subsequently to diagnosis, remain the most important prerequisites permitting appropriate treatment. Several surgical techniques are available to uncover impacted/retained tooth according to their position within the osseous and dental environment. Moreover, to access to the tooth and to bond an orthodontic anchorage, the surgical techniques used during the surgical exposure must preserve the periodontium integrity. These surgical techniques are based on tissue manipulations derived from periodontal plastic surgery, permitting to establish and main- tain long-term periodontal health.

Abstract Bacterial biofilms are multicellular structures akin to citadels which have individual bacterial cells embedded within a matrix of a self-synthesized polymeric or proteinaceous material. Since biofilms can establish themselves on both biotic and abiotic surfaces and that bacteria residing in these complex molecular structures are much more resistant to antimicrobial agents than their planktonic equivalents, makes these entities a medical and economic nuisance. Of late, several strategies have been investigated that intend to provide a sustainable solution to treat this problem. More recently role of extracellular proteases in disruption of already established bacterial biofilms and in prevention of biofilm formation itself has been demonstrated. The present review aims to collectively highlight the role of bacterial extracellular proteases in biofilm disruption of Gram positive bacteria.

  • The Cementum: Its Role in Periodontal Health and Disease*
    THE JOURNAL OF PERIODONTOLOGY JULY, NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY ONE The Cementum: Its Role In Periodontal Health and Disease* by DONALD A. KERR, D.D.S., M.S.,** Ann Arbor, Michigan HE cementum is a specialized calcified tissue of mesenchymal origin which provides for the attachment of the periodontal fibers to the surface of the Troot. It consists of 45 to 50 per cent inorganic material and 50 to 55 per cent organic material with the inorganic material in a hydroxyl apatite structure. The primary cementum is formed initially by appositional growth from the dental sac and later from the periodontal membrane under the influence of cementoblasts. It is formed in laminated layers with the incorporation of Sharpey's fibers into a fibrillar matrix which undergoes calcification. Cementum deposition is a Continuous process throughout life with new cementum being deposited over the old cemental surface. Cementum is formed by the organiza• tion of collagen fibrils which are cemented together by a matrix produced by the polymerization of mucopolysaccharides. This material is designated as cementoid and becomes mature cementum upon calcification. The significance of the continuous deposition of cementum has received various interpretations. 1. Continuous deposition of cementum is necessary for the reattachment of periodontal fibers which have been destroyed or which require reorientation due to change in position of teeth. It is logical that there should be a continuous deposition of cementum because it is doubtful that the initial fibers are retained throughout the life of the tooth, and therefore new fibers must be continually formed and attached by new cementum.

Tehran, Iran 3Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate a combined antibiotic-enzyme therapy for Staphylococcus aureus mastitis and biofilm formation. A total of 141 cases of S. aureus chronic mastitis from three farms were divided ® into two groups: the control group (n = 54) were treated with Nafpenzal ointment; the enzyme + antibiotic group ® ® (n = 87) were treated with Nafpenzal plus an enzymatic ointment (MastiVeyxym ). Quantitative determination of biofilm formation was determined using a colorimetric microplate assay and the detection of ica genes by PCR. Enzyme + antibiotic therapy did not significantly improve cure rates compared to control (48.3 vs 38.9%). The cure rate for infections caused by biofilm-positive strains was 42.6 and 46.6% for control and enzyme + antibiotic groups, respectively (P > 0.05). Comparison of cure rates between farms showed a relationship with somatic cell count (SCC), parity and oxacillin resistance. 79.4% of the isolates produced biofilm and antibacterial resistance rates for oxacillin, penicillin and streptomycin were 25.5, 71.6 and 95.7%, respectively. These results indicate that while the increase in mastitis cure rate using enzymatic therapy was not significant, this treatment could be useful in some situations.

  • Cleft Palate/Lip
    CLEFT PALATE/LIP WHAT IS A CLEFT? A cleft is a separation in the skin, tissue lining of the mouth, muscle, and bone that is normally fused together; however, no structures are missing. Clefts can be either unilateral (one side) or bilateral (both sides) and may include the lip, soft palate and/or hard palate or any of the structures in isolation. TYPES OF CLEFTS Cleft Lip – separation in the lip and may include the bottom of the nose Cleft Palate – separation in the hard palate and/or soft palate Submucous Cleft – separation in the muscle of the soft palate with the tissue lining of the mouth intact. Often, it is not easily viewed. WHEN DID CLEFTING HAPPEN? During the 4th week of fetal development, the primary palate (line from nostril to upper lip and mucosa behind upper teeth) fuse together. By the 8th week, the tongue drops in the mouth and the secondary palate (hard palate and soft palate) fuse together with the nasal septum. By the 12th week, if the process is not complete, a cleft (separation) will develop. WHAT CAUSED MY CHILD’S CLEFT? The exact cause is not known but theories include: Low intake of Folic Acid (Vitamin B) Large intake of Vitamin A Genetic disposition Syndromes or Sequences (Pierre Robin, Treacher Collins) Drugs, alcohol, medication, and smoking CLEFT PALATE MANAGEMENT You and your child will be in contact with many different healthcare professionals who need to work together. Every case is individualized, therefore your child will need a thorough assessment to the appropriate treatment plan.
