TL;DR: Better sensitivity of the real-time PCR, when compared to the microbiological culture method, was demonstrated, in regards to the detection of the periodontal pathogens, and the lower detection levels of the cultivation methods may be explained by the problems of keeping pathogenic bacteria viable.

TL;DR: In this article, the adjunctive effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel in the treatment of residual periodontal pockets over a 12-month period was evaluated, and both treatments resulted in statistically significant clinical and microbiological improvements compared to baseline.

TL;DR: The presence of periodontopathogens as well as other bacterial species of possible importance should be considered in the patients with severe chronic periodontitis.

TL;DR: The results from the presented case reports with application of the strip technique for free gingival graft indicate that it could be applied when augmentation of the attached gedival tissues on larger area (more than 3 teeth).

TL;DR: Positive effect of the subgingival irrigations with 10% povidoneiodine in cases of severe chronic periodontitis is demonstrated, rationale for future studies on the effectiveness of the iodophore solutions in the treatment of the disease and on the clinical significance of the investigated treatment.
