Introduction: The purpose of this long-term clinical study was to examine the additional efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with chronic periodontal disease.
Methods: A total of 22 patients (mean age: 59.3 ± 11.
Purpose: To evaluate whether a three-dimensional (3D) optical method currently used for the production of dental restorations could be applied to the simultaneous evaluation of the height and width of periodontal recessions, and determine the reproducibility and accuracy of the method for evaluating periodontal recession.
Materials And Methods: The height and width of periodontal recessions scratched onto stone replicas were recorded using a 3D optical method, a periodontal probe, and a caliper.
Results: No difference was found between measurements obtained using the methods tested (p > 0.
Background: This preliminary in vitro study, presented at the General Session of the International and American Association for Dental Research in 2010 (Barcelona, Spain), evaluates whether three-dimensional (3D) optical scanning and subsequent superimposing procedures could be used for reproducible volumetric evaluation of gingival recession.
Methods: Silicone impressions were taken of mandibular and maxillary master casts, and eight stone replicas of each master cast were produced. Each replica was scanned 10 times with a 3D optical system, and 3D datasets representing the computer-aided design reference models were calculated using a triangulation method.
Objective: To evaluate the success rate of a calcium hydroxide-based direct capping agent in permanent teeth.
Method And Materials: A total of 1,075 permanent teeth were treated in this study. All patients received direct pulp capping with a calcium hydroxide-based agent.
