Article Synopsis
- Kidney transplant (KT) recipients face a higher risk of cancer-related deaths compared to the general population, with cancer accounting for 32.4% of deaths in a study of 7,373 KT patients from 2003 to 2020.
- The overall excess mortality rate due to cancer was found to be 1.8 times higher, with lymphomas, kidney cancer, and skin melanoma exhibiting the highest risks.
- The study highlights the need for further research into cancer prevention and early detection strategies specifically tailored for KT recipients, given the significant and consistent risks across different age groups.
Objectives: To study the effects of one or two repeated subgingival instrumentations (RSI) in achieving the endpoints of therapy (EoT) in open pockets [residual probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥ 6 mm and PPD 4-5 mm with bleeding on probing (BoP)] after steps I-II of therapy.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-five patients (3,552 total sites; 1,450 open pockets) with stage III-IV periodontitis received steps I-II of periodontal therapy and were re-evaluated after 4-6 weeks (T1). Residual pockets received RSI at T1 and at 3 months (T2).
Objectives: To test the effect of locally delivered doxycycline (DOX) administered 2 weeks prior to minimally invasive periodontal regeneration in terms of presurgical inflammatory status and cytokine expression profile in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Secondary aim was to assess the early wound healing index (EHI) at 2 weeks after surgery.
Background: It is hypothesized that healing after periodontal regeneration is dependent on preoperative soft tissue condition, and that local antibiotics may improve the site-specific inflammatory status at short time.
Background: The aim of this randomized split-mouth study was to assess the influence of primary flap position on the amount of coronal soft tissue regrowth and keratinized tissue (KT) 6 months after osseous resective surgery with fiber retention technique (FibReORS).
Materials And Methods: Two contralateral posterior sextants in 16 patients were treated with FibReORS and randomly assigned to flap positioning either 2 mm below the bone crest (apical group) or at the level of bone crest (crestal group). Clinical parameters were recorded at 1, 3 and 6 months and patient-related outcomes during the first two post-operative weeks.
Background: Risk of disease progression and tooth loss is higher in cases where deep probing pocket depths (PPDs) and bleeding on probing (BOP) persist after active periodontal treatment. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of non-surgical periodontal therapy on pocket closure (PC), defined as PPD ≤4 mm without BOP (PC1) or PPD ≤4 mm solely (PC2) 3 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment and to compare PC between smokers and non-smokers.
Methods: This cohort study is a secondary analysis from a controlled clinical trial consisting of systemically healthy patients with stage III or IV grade C periodontitis.
