Association of Connective Tissue Grafts in Immediate Implants: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The increase in soft tissue (ST) around implants can benefit peri-implant health and aesthetic results. The objective was to compare the gingival and esthetic health benefits of immediate implant placement (IIP) with simultaneous or delayed connective tissue graft (CTG) compared to IIP without CTG.

Methods: A systematic review was carried out by two reviewers in Medline-Pubmed, Scopus, and Cochrane.

Benefits of non-surgical periodontal treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic periodontitis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Periodontitis and diabetes are highly prevalent conditions whose association has long been recognized.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on serum HbA1c (haemoglobin A1c or glycated haemoglobin) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: This was a 6-month, single-masked, randomized clinical trial based on 90 patients (HbA1c: 7.

Effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetic patients: a systematic review.

This review was designed to determine whether non-surgical periodontal treatment is able to reduce serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Several previous reports showed that scaling and root planning (SRP) improve periodontal status in patients with DM, but whether it also improves metabolic control of the disease is unclear. A systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Cochrane Collaboration and PRISMA.
