Statement Of The Problem: Mouthrinses can cause discoloration on indirect resin composites.
Purpose Of The Study: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of different mouthrinses on the color changes and surface roughness of a laboratory-processed composite.
Methods And Materials: Fifty discs were made using GC Gradia/GC indirect composites and divided into five groups which immersed in artificial saliva and four different types of mouthrinses.
Introduction: Deposition of amyloid fibrils derived from circulating acute-phase reactant serum amyloid A protein causes systemic amyloidosis, a serious inflammatory disorder. We document a male patient who developed reactive amyloidosis (AA type), most likely secondary to his long standing periodontitis.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old Turkish man complained of pain in his oral cavity (burning mouth) especially on the tongue, and had difficulty chewing and swallowing foods.
Introduction: Chronic regurgitation of gastric acids in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease may cause dental erosion, which can lead in combination with attrition or bruxism to extensive loss of coronal tooth tissue.
Case Presentation: This clinical report describes treatment of severe tooth wear of a gastroesophageal reflux disease patient who is 54-year-old Turkish male patient. After his medical treatment, severe tooth wear, bruxism and decreased vertical dimensions were determined.
Background: Chronic infection and inflammation, including periodontitis, are linked to an increased risk for atherosclerosis. To investigate the possible adverse effects of periodontitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, we compared periodontal severity with inflammation and malnutrition, which are associated with poor atherosclerotic outcome in CAPD patients.
Methods: A total of 110 CAPD patients were included in this study to evaluate their clinical periodontal status by using the plaque index, gingival index, and periodontal disease index.
Purpose: This investigation compared the effects of different flap designs on the periodontal health status of the mandibular second molar after the extraction of the adjacent impacted third molar.
Patients And Methods: Eighteen patients aged 16 to 32 years who required removal of bilateral impacted mandibular third molars were included in this study. The periodontal health of the second molar was evaluated preoperatively and at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 months postoperatively.
