Accelerated tooth movement with piezocision and its periodontal-transversal effects in patients with Class II malocclusion.

TL;DR: Piezocision-assisted distalization accelerates tooth movement, decreases the anchorage loss for posterior teeth, and does not induce any maxillary transversal change, suggesting that piezocisions does not have any adverse effects on periodontal health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-surgical periodontal therapy affects metabolic control in diabetics: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

TL;DR: Non-surgical periodontal therapy could improve metabolic control in diabetic patients, and levels of HbA1c levels decreased from baseline to follow-up (after three months), and FPG, GI, PPD and CAL levels decreased in the treated group and increased in the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI

The efficacy of host response modulation therapy (omega-3 plus low-dose aspirin) as an adjunctive treatment of chronic periodontitis (clinical and biochemical study).

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the combination therapy demonstrated successful reduction ofGingival inflammation, reduction of pocket depth and attachment level gain, accompanied by a trend for modulation of the cytokines profile in gingival crevicular fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI

A longitudinal study of aspartate aminotransferase in human gingival crevicular fluid

TL;DR: The data are consistent with the hypothesis that the relationship is strongest during episodes of cumulative tissue breakdown, but the small numbers of sites with confirmed attachment loss during the study period, or with gingivitis in the absence of periodontitis, means that further clinical studies are necessary to clarify this issue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbiologic Testing and Outcomes of Full-Mouth Scaling and Root Planing With or Without Amoxicillin/Metronidazole in Chronic Periodontitis

TL;DR: Excellent clinical results in the antibiotics group were obtained regardless of the presence or absence of six classic periodontal periopathogens prior to treatment, including A. actinomycetemcomitans.

Indices for Prevalence and Incidence of Periodontal Disease

TL;DR: When the extent and distribution of the disease has been investigated, the available information is utilized in search for etiological factors and studies of the nature of the Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A System of Classification and Scoring for Prevalence Surveys of Periodontal Disease

TL;DR: A method for scoring the effects of periodontal disease which permits quantitative comparisons between or within human populations, and which may be applied swiftly and with a minimum of equipment in the field is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pregnancy gingivitis: History, classification, etiology

TL;DR: The histologic changes apparently do not arise from a single etiological factor, but are a manifestation of the altered nutritional and the metabolic status of the individual during pregnancy, and the immediate cause of the gingival changes appears to be a diminished utilization of estrogen or a modification of estrogen metabolism.
