Filter by:On many occasions, clinicians find situations in which they have to perform extractions of erupted or semi-erupted third molars or wisdom teeth where there are pre-existing periodontal pockets distal to the second molars, caused by a bone defect due to periodontal disease or due to malposition of the wisdom tooth concerning the second molar. After the extraction of an erupted or semi-included third molar, and as a consequence of factors related to dental malposition or bone defects caused by periodontal disease, periodontal pockets can arise on the distal surface of the second molar. When such exodontia is performed conventionally without raising a flap or applying any suturing technique in which there is a primary closure of the wound, there is a greater probability of persistence of periodontal pockets; and, in the worst case, they may increase after healing and closure of the alveolus. The consequence would be the formation of an enlarged and unattached tissue on the distal aspect of the second molar. The fact that periodontal pockets persist acts as an unfavorable prognostic factor. The predictive power of subsequent periodontal destruction increases since these are areas where bacteria will continue to accumulate (etiological factor of periodontal disease), and where the patient will not be able to access for their elimination and control. This is why a surgical technique called "distal wedge" has been proposed to eliminate these pockets. To avoid this second surgical procedure, we propose a procedure immediately after the conventional exodontic technique; where after performing a small gingivectomy and lifting a mucoperiosteal flap based on periodontal respective surgery concepts, primary closure of the alveolus and repositioning of the flaps at the level of the bone crest is achieved, eliminating these pre-existing pockets. This requires the existence of sufficient keratinized gingiva to maintain a band of at least 2 mm of keratinized tissue after the gingivectomy, thus ensuring a correct adherent tissue that provides sealing and proper maintenance of the periodontal tissues around the tooth. The proposed technique has been termed a "distal reduction flap" (DRF).
The objective of this study will be to evaluate a new protocol for the surgical treatment of periodontal disease with two novelties: to make a single incision in the midline of the interproximal area to respect the vascular supply and preserve the granulation tissue with regenerative potential. The investigators will carry out a controlled and randomized clinical trial with a control group (n=25; modified Kirkland flap) and a test group (n=25; experimental surgical protocol: incision in the mid-interproximal area of the papilla and preservation of the granulation tissue). Clinical parameters will be taken at the time of surgery and 12 months follow-up: bleeding on probing (BoP), clinical attachment level (CAL), residual probing depth (rPD),Probing pocket depth reduction (PPDr), recession (REC), interproximal gingival recession (iGR), width of keratinized gingiva (KT), gain of supra-alveolar clinical attachment (SUPRA-AG), early wound healing index (EHI).
There are no studies comparing reinstrumentation and flap surgery for the treatment of residual periodontal pockets. The aim of this RCT is to compare the re-instrumentation vs the flap surgery in terms of PD reduction, CAL gain, gingival recession, need of an additional surgery and pocket closure. Moreover, PROMs will be evaluated
The aim of the present investigation will be evaluate the healing of periodontal intraosseous defects following Minimally Invasive Non Surgical Debridement (MINSD) and application of amelogenins, compared to MINSD alone. A total of 22 patients will be enrolled, selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided in two groups: amelogenin (A) and no-amelogenin group (B).
This is a prospective cohort study that aims to describe the difference in terms of percentage of closed pockets (PPD <5 mm and no BOP) when performing the periodontal re-evaluation at 3-4, 6-8 and 12 months. Fifty-two, ≥18-year old, otherwise healthy, periodontitis patients will be recruited at Centro di Odontoiatria, Università di Parma.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of using Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix and β-tricalcium phosphate that placed to extraction socket as a graft material in terms of periodontal damage occurred in the distal aspect of the second molar after mandibular impacted third molar surgery.
application of 1% curcumin gel in clinical study design will be used . The study will be conducted in Al-Najaf specialised dentistry center. The group of patients will be consist of 25 patients, belonging to both sex, age between 30-45 years. All patients will be diagnosed as chronic periodontitis with periodontal pockets of depth 5-7mm bilaterally to be randomly selected.
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.
Three techniques for periodontal reconstruction will be compared, in which marginal access versus apical access will be carried out.
This is a controlled, randomized, single-blinded, multicenter, prospective clinical study. In addition to the standard periodontal treatment procedure on all teeth that need to be treated, the 4 teeth with the deepest pockets (between 4 and 6 mm) will be randomized to either PERIOSYAL® FILL and oral hygiene or oral hygiene alone. The pocket depth will be measured at six sites around each tooth, and only the deepest pocket sites of each tooth will be taken into account.
