Treatment of peri-implant mucositis using spermidine and calcium chloride as local adjunctive delivery to non-surgical mechanical debridement: a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of non-surgical mechanical debridement with or without adjunctive application of a gel with spermidine and sodium hyaluronate associated to a sealing gel (i.e. calcium chloride) in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PiM).

Biomechanically and Periodontally-Based Orthodontic Treatment of a Patient with Upper Canine Affected by External Cervical Resorption (ECR): A Case Report.

(1) Background: Orthodontic treatment may be a potential predisposing factor for ECR. The affected tooth goes to ankylosis, which could lead to a malocclusion. Although teeth severely affected by ECR (class IV Heithersay) are usually extracted, this case report aims to present the use of an ECR class IV upper canine, both as ankylosed to solve the malocclusion and the occlusal plane canting, as well as not ankylosed to correct its ridge defect with orthodontic extrusion.

Alveolar Ridge Preservation with Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral and Xenogeneic Collagen Matrix: A 12-Month Clinical and Histomorphometric Case Series.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) protocol using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) covered with a collagen matrix (CM), as well as to clinically and histologically analyze the alveolar bone healing at 12 months, prior to implant placement. Six patients had bone biopsy samples harvested and underwent implant placement at 12 months following ARP. At 12 months, DBBM granules represented a mean 29.
