Comparative Evaluation of Scaling and Root Planing with and without Oxygen-releasing Gel in the Treatment of Chronic Periodontitis: A Split-mouth Study.

Aim: The study aims to compare the effectiveness of scaling root planing alone and scaling root planing with oxygen-releasing gel in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: A split-mouth randomized controlled trial was designed on 25 systemically healthy participants with 50 sites having chronic periodontitis. Two sites were selected for each patient and were randomly allocated into two groups.

An Evaluation of Occupational Stress and Periodontal Status Among Indian Army Male Personnel: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Oral illnesses are multifactorial and also behavior-related. Stress and habits influence periodontal disease. Based on this premise, assessing the influence of stress on military personnel and understanding its influence on oral and periodontal health becomes imperative.

Clinical Efficacy of Scaling and Root Planing With Placental Extract Gel Under Magnification in Chronic Periodontitis Patients: A Split-Mouth Study.

Background Chronic localized periodontitis is a prevalent and persistent inflammatory condition in which there is the gradual degradation of the gingiva, periodontal ligament fibers, and alveolar bone loss. The objectives of periodontal therapy encompass not solely the elimination of local factors from the periodontal pocket but also the eradication of the dysbiotic microbial milieu to restore periodontal health. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of scaling and root planing (SRP) with and without the placement of placental extract gel in the therapeutic management of chronic localized periodontitis under magnification.

Awareness and management of peri-implantitis and peri-mucositis among private dental Practitioners in Hyderabad - A cross-sectional study.

Background: Implant therapy, in India, has flourished in recent years and is being practiced widely by many dental practitioners today. Along with the increasing number of implants being placed today, there has also been a constant rise in the number of complications associated with it.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of implant placement and management of peri-implant diseases among dental professionals.

Efficacy of Natural and Allopathic Antimicrobial Agents Incorporated onto Guided Tissue Regeneration Membrane Against Periodontal Pathogens: An in vitro Study.

Introduction: Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent afflictions worldwide. It is an infection of the periodontium as a result of subgingival colonization of the specific microbiota, leading to loss of attachment, which requires optimal care for regeneration to its pre-disease state. Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is one of the successful treatment modalities in Periodontal Regenerative Therapy, but is vulnerable to bacterial colonization.

A rare case of temporal arteritis with rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease mimicking pulpo-periodontal pathology.

A 75-year-old male patient was planned for dental treatment due to pain of suspected pulpo-periodontal origin in relation to right maxillary first molar. Careful evaluation revealed the pain to be non-odontogenic in nature and led to the diagnosis of temporal arteritis with rheumatoid arthritis along with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Characteristic findings of temporal arteritis include headache, jaw claudication, visual loss, and constitutional symptoms (malaise, fever, weight loss, loss of appetite).

Association between obesity and chronic periodontitis: a cross-sectional study.

Aim: Chronic periodontitis is multifactorial and numerous risk factors have been identified to contribute in the disease progression. Current study aimed to conduct a cross-sectional study in a population of patients with cardiovascular diseases in order to correlate the association between obesity [body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC)] and periodontal disease parameters.

Materials And Methods: The study was of a cross-sectional design and a total of 201 patients were examined after obtaining their informed consent.
