Current status and management of peri-implantitis: A systematic review.

Aim: To systematically review the literature on the surgical and non-surgical methods for managing peri-implantitis.

Materials And Methods: An electronic search for randomised controlled trials published between 2019 and 2023 in the English language was performed with the Medline/PubMed database according to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The specific search terms were "periimplantitis", "non-surgical treatment", "surgical treatment" and combinations of these terms.

Evaluation of the effect of adjunctive diode laser application on peri-implant crevicular fluid biomarker levels: a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To assess both the clinical and immunological effectiveness of diode laser therapy when used as an adjunct to non-surgical mechanical therapy in managing peri-implantitis.

Materials And Methods: A cohort of 27 participants, comprising 21 females and 6 males, agreed to take part in this investigation. 37 dental implants with peri-implantitis diagnosis were randomly allocated to either the laser group (n = 19) or the control group (n = 18).

Evaluation of the relationship between periodontal bone destruction and mesial root concavity of the maxillary first premolar.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the morphology of maxillary first premolar mesial root concavity and to analyse its relation to periodontal bone loss (BL) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic radiographs.

Methods: The mesial root concavity of maxillary premolar teeth was analysed via CBCT. The sex and age of the patients, starting position and depth of the root concavity, apicocoronal length of the concavity on the crown or root starting from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), total apicocoronal length of the concavity, amount of bone loss both in CBCT images and panoramic radiographs, location of the furcation, length of the buccal and palatinal roots, and buccopalatinal cervical root width were measured.

Evaluation of periodontal status and cytokine response in children with familial Mediterranean fever or systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Objectives: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) are chronic inflammatory diseases and anti-inflammatory agents are used in their treatment. This study evaluates the periodontal status and cytokine response in pediatric patients with FMF or sJIA.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight FMF/sJIA patients were under treatment/control and in attack-free period; 20 systemically healthy children participated in the study.

Cytokine profile in serum and gingival crevicular fluid of children with inflammatory bowel disease: A case-control study.

Background: To evaluate the cytokine profile in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and determine the cluster patterns of cytokines.

Methods: Fifty IBD patients and 21 systemically healthy children were enrolled in the study. The GCF samples were collected from the participants during periodontal examination and periodontal indices were recorded.

Evaluation of periodontal status and cytokine/chemokine profile of GCF in patients with severe congenital neutropenia.

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by defect in neutrophil count. Increased risk of infections in addition to periodontal problems, such as ulcerations of oral mucosa, gingival inflammation, and rapid loss of attachment are common in the course of the disease. The aim of the present study is to define the causal relationship between the severity of periodontal inflammation and severe congenital neutropenia through identification of cytokine profile in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF).

Effects of oral prophylaxis including tongue cleaning on halitosis and gingival inflammation in gingivitis patients-a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of oral prophylaxis including tongue scraping on level of halitosis, clinical periodontal parameters and local cytokine response in gingivitis patients.

Materials And Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 36 gingivitis patients were randomly assigned into two subgroups after scaling and polishing. Group 1 received oral hygiene instructions including the use of tongue scraper; group 2 received oral hygiene instructions alone without tongue cleaning.

-associated Lesions Located in the Gingiva: Case Report of Rare Gingival Lesions.

spp. are located without displaying any pathogenic effect in the oral flora. However, the disruption of oral microenvironmental balance, mucosal tissue integrity, and defense system can cause microorganisms to settle on deep periodontal tissues and to induce pathologic reactions.

Assessment of zygomatic bone using cone beam computed tomography in a Turkish population.

Objective: To provide linear and volumetric measurements of zygomatic bone using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Study Design: CBCT images were assessed for 198 patients. Posterior and anterior zygomatic bone widths (M1 and M2), zygomatic bone projection (M3), zygomatic bone height (M4), combined zygomatic arch diameter (M5), maximum cortical thickness (M6), gray value obtained from maximum cortical thickness region (M7), minimum cortical thickness (M8), and gray value obtained from minimum cortical thickness region (M9) were measured.

Comparison of micro-computerized tomography and cone-beam computerized tomography in the detection of accessory canals in primary molars.

Purpose: This study was performed to compare the accuracy of micro-computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in detecting accessory canals in primary molars.

Materials And Methods: Forty-one extracted human primary first and second molars were embedded in wax blocks and scanned using micro-CT and CBCT. After the images were taken, the samples were processed using a clearing technique and examined under a stereomicroscope in order to establish the gold standard for this study.

CBCT quantitative evaluation of mandibular lingual concavities in dental implant patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of mandibular lingual concavities and to measure them using CBCT (Cone-Beam Computerized Tomography).

Methods: In this study, CBCT scans of 200 patients requiring dental implants were assessed for lingual concavities. Reconstructed CBCT images were transferred as DICOM files to the 3D DOCTOR software program, and metric, volumetric, and surface area measurements were obtained.

Morphological and volumetric evaluation of the nasopalatinal canal in a Turkish population using cone-beam computed tomography.

Purpose: To establish (nasopalatine canal) NPC morphology and obtain linear and volumetric measurements using CBCT images.

Methods: We evaluated CBCT scans of 252 patients. NPC shape was classified as belonging to six groups.

Use of cone beam computed tomography in periodontology.

Diagnosis of periodontal disease mainly depends on clinical signs and symptoms. However, in the case of bone destruction, radiographs are valuable diagnostic tools as an adjunct to the clinical examination. Two dimensional periapical and panoramic radiographs are routinely used for diagnosing periodontal bone levels.
