Periodontitis in smokers and non smokers: intra-oral distribution of pockets

TL;DR: It is indicated that cigarette smoking is a factor associated with deeper periodontal pockets and an intra-oral distribution that is suggestive of a local effect, and in the upper jaw at the anterior and premolar teeth, the largest differences are found between smokers and non-smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plaque inhibition of two commercially available chlorhexidine mouthrinses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mouthrinses on plaque inhibition and taste perception was evaluated using a single-blind, randomized two group parallel experiment, to compare two different commercially available mouth rinses, during a 3-day plaque accumulation model.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the effects of stannous fluoride on gingivitis.

TL;DR: The use of SnF(2) dentifrices results in gingivitis and plaque reduction when compared with a conventional dentifrice and the precise magnitude of this effect was difficult to assess because of a high level of heterogeneity in study outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric contamination during ultrasonic scaling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler in combination with either high-volume evacuation (HVE) or conventional dental suction (CDS) to determine the microbial atmospheric contamination during initial periodontal treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of chlorhexidine dentifrice or gel versus chlorhexidine mouthwash on plaque, gingivitis, bleeding and tooth discoloration: a systematic review.

TL;DR: The data show that when daily oral hygiene cannot be performed, CHX MW is the first product of choice, and chlorhexidine gel can be successfully formulated and will inhibit plaque growth to some degree, but not to the same extent, as a ChX MW.
