Analyzing the Relationship Between Chronic Periodontitis and Psychological Stress in Elderly Patients: A Study Protocol.

Background:  Although stress is the body's physiological response to challenging life events, chronic exposure to a stressor may not cause stress. In such cases, stress negatively impacts some physiological functions, which can lead to psychosomatic diseases. According to research, inadequate coping mechanisms and long-term stress are factors that moderate the risk and progression of periodontitis.

Metal Marvels: Revolutionizing Endodontic Restoration With a Novel Endocrown Approach.

This case report explores the innovative application of the endocrown technique for restoring a severely damaged mandibular molar (tooth #46) in a 28-year-old male patient. With a recent root canal treatment history, the patient presented with a dislodged prosthesis. Due to financial constraints, a base metal alloy was chosen for the endocrown restoration.

Living will: Todays thoughts and actions.

Introduction: The word "Euthanasia" relates to two different words from the Greek language "Eu which indicates good and Thanatosis which indicates death", suggesting a "satisfactory Death" or "easy and painless Death" The phrase "mercy killing" has become associated with this meaning. It comprises inflicting painless death on a person suffering from an incurable and dreadful illness. It's the practice of terminating a person's life by administering a lethal injection or ceasing medical treatment.

Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of and Chlorhexidine in Full-mouth Disinfection Treatment of Periodontitis in Type 2 Diabetes Patients.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of and chlorhexidine (CHX) in the treatment of stages II and III periodontitis with one-stage complete mouth disinfection in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 24 type 2 diabetic subjects with either stage II or stage III periodontitis were randomly divided into test and control groups with 12 patients in each group. For control group, full-mouth disinfection (FMD) was done using CHX and for test group, FMD was done using .

Evaluating and Comparing the Effectiveness of Nano-HA and HA + β-TCP with A-PRF Clinically and Radiographically in the Treatment of Human Infrabony Defects.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (NcHA) with advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and hydroxyapatite-reinforced beta tricalcium phosphate (HA + β-TCP) with A-PRF in the treatment of human infrabony defects clinically and radiographically using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: There were a total of 28 defects, with 14 defects in the test and control groups, respectively. There were total 28 patients were involved in the study.

Evaluation of PRF and PLA-PGA Membrane Along with Hydroxyapatite Crystal Collagen Fibers Bone Graft in the Treatment of Infrabony Defects.

Aim: The present study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) membrane and polylactic acid-polyglycolic acid (PLA-PGA) membrane along with hydroxyapatite crystal collagen fibers bone graft in the treatment of human infrabony defects using cone beam computed tomography.

Materials And Methods: A total of 28 systemically healthy patients was chosen which were found appropriate after initial therapy. Each group comprises of 14 defects, according to randomized parallel design.

Evaluation of PRF Membrane with Coronally Advanced Flap with and without Vertical Releasing Incisions for the Treatment of Gingival Recessions.

Aim: The aim of the current study was to compare the esthetic results for subjects with Miller Class I and II gingival recession (GR) abnormalities using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane with coronal advanced flaps (CAFs) with and without vertical releasing incisions (VRIs; the envelope-type flap and the flap with VRIs).

Materials And Methods: Seven defects from each of the test and control groups made up of fourteen defects total. In the test group, PRF + CAF was performed without VRI, while in the control group, VRI was used.

Implementation of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Dentistry: A Review.

A type of light therapy known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) uses only one wavelength of light. Low-level lasers (LLL) do not have a warming effect on the tissues; instead, they have an effect called photobiostimulation. LLL do not evaporate the tissue.
