Clinicoradiographic evaluation of hyaluronan-nano hydroxyapatite composite graft in the management of periodontal infrabony defects.

Background: Hyaluronan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue. It imparts antibacterial and osteogenic properties to the nano hydroxyapatite bone graft (NHA).

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronan-NHA (H-NHA) composite in the treatment of infrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients.

Comparative evaluation of fluorinol and calcium sodium phosphosilicate-containing toothpastes in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.

Background: Dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most commonly encountered clinical problems. Various desensitizing agents have been widely used in the management of dentin hypersensitivity. Fluorinol, a fluoride-containing agent, has shown to be effective in fluoridating the hydroxyapatite crystal and thus reduce enamel solubility.

Various Treatment Modalities in Aggressive Periodontitis.

This is a case report of an 18-year-old female diagnosed with localized aggressive periodontitis. Following basic scaling and root planing, flap surgery was performed in all the four quadrants using various regenerative materials. A follow-up of 2½ years shows improvement in clinical and radiographic parameters, with no recurrence of the disease process.
