Filter by:The study aimed to investigate clinical effect of autogenous dentin graft on patients following mandibular wisdom tooth extraction. The primary outcomes are pain, swelling, trismus and soft tissue healing index within one week after surgery. The investigators also measured periodontal healing of distal aspect of the adjacent second molar up to 2 year after the surgery.
Periodontitis is an inflammation associated with destruction of the periodontium that ultimately, if not treated, leads to tooth loss. Clinically, it is characterized by clinical attachment loss (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) accompanied by increased probing pocket depth (PPD) and/or gingival recession. The standard periodontitis treatment aims to restore the homeostasis of the immune system by mechanically reducing the microbial load to levels that are compatible with stability and health. This is achieved by professional mechanical biofilm control and motivation of the patient for oral hygiene measures in order to control the biofilm and avoid disease recurrence. Conventional scaling and root planing (SRP), and air polishing therapy are tools used for professional biofilm control. More recently, air-polishing devices have become a promising alternative to conventional SRP in reducing the clinical time and causing less discomfort and pain for the patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subgingival erythritol air polishing for initial periodontal pocket healing.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of pulp test in teeth presenting with deep periodontal pocket. The null hypothesis is no significant effect of periodontitis on the accuracy of pulp test.
