Filter by:Periodontitis is a chronic condition associated with the inflammatory destruction of the periodontal tissues ultimately leading to tooth loss. Clinically, it is identified by key features such as clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding upon probing (BOP), and an increase in probing pocket depth (PPD), and/or gingival recession. Periodontitis is mediated by polymicrobial dysbiosis with keystone pathogens affecting the virulence of the entire biofilm community. The removal of this biofilm and its retention factors is the ultimate goal of clinical treatment and oral measures applied. The elimination of the biofilm has traditionally been achieved with the use of either hand instruments or power driven devices. Promoting periodontal health or diminishing bacterial presence and calculus buildup on teeth can be accomplished with the same efficacy whether using manual scalers and curettes or ultrasonic scaling instruments. Both hand and ultrasonic instruments are characterized by being time-consuming and requiring technical skill, often causing patient discomfort and post-treatment pain, including hypersensitivity resulting from the loss of hard tissue when scaling the tooth surface. Ultrasonic instruments tend to leave a rougher surface behind compared to hand instruments. While effective the current techniques all have their disadvantages. The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in probing depth clinically, Bleeding on probing, Clinical attachment level, Plaque index, Calculus index, Patient pain/discomfort, Patient satisfaction, Cost effectiveness, Treatment time and Number of pockets closed after using AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master device with erythritol powder.
The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of a chewing gum containing dietary nitrate to gingival and heart health. Dietary nitrates are commonly found in leafy vegetables and beets. The information learned from the study may help further understand the interconnection of oral health and heart health. The study is looking for individuals who present with mild to moderate gum irritation or bleeding. In the study participants will be randomized into either a group that will use a chewing gum containing dietary nitrate, or use a placebo chewing gum during a three-week period. Participants in the study will have a simple gingival exam, x-rays if needed, and small samples of saliva and blood collected. All participants will also undergo a routine tooth cleaning. Participants will be asked to breathe in a tube to sample the levels of nitric oxide. Finally, participants will have their heart health measured with a device that is like a blood pressure cuff.
Trait anxiety is the tendency of an individual to perceive environmental stimuli such as different events and situations as threatening; it's stable and reflects how an individual generally feels. In 2015, it was estimated that 3.6% of the population lived with anxiety disorders globally, i.e. approximately 264 million people lived with anxiety disorders worldwide of which 31.36 million resided in the Eastern Mediterranean region, that's to say, 10% of the global number of anxiety cases. Moreover, females were more affected than males in a proportion of 4.6% as opposed to 2.6% respectively. The prevalence of anxiety has increased by 14.9% from 2005 to 2015. In addition, in 2017, approximately 42 million new cases were recorded globally. In Egypt, the total number of anxiety cases were more than 3 million in 2015 thus indicating that 4.2% of the total population lived with anxiety. Anxiety may affect the individual's utilization of dental services and predispose to a delay in seeking dental treatment and thus might compromise the overall oral health. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the effect of trait anxiety on the oral health status of women and determine their behavior towards the utilization of dental services. To our knowledge, no previous research has been conducted to assess such relationship in Egypt.
The interrelationship of restorative dentistry and periodontics is a dynamic one. The interactions between restorative dentistry and periodontal health have been well-documented both clinically and histologically. The interplay between periodontics and restorative dentistry is present at many fronts, including location of restorative margins, alloy sensitivity, crown contours, and response of the gingival tissues to restorative preparations. Periodontal tissues form the foundation for proper esthetics, function, and comfort of the dentition, as well as the periodontal health at the restorative gingival interface consider as prerequisite for successful outcome. Success of fixed prosthodontics restorations is largely dependent upon the long term health and stability of the surrounding periodontal structures. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 4 new gingival retraction systems; traxodent, Gingitrac, Nocord, and cord , on the basis of the time taken for placement, hemorrhage control ,the amount of horizontal gingival displacement and periodontal parameter (PI, GI, CAL and PD).
