Article Synopsis
- The report presents a framework for integrating evidence-based dentistry (EBD) in treating a patient with drug-induced gingival hyperplasia and aggressive periodontitis, using a clinical case of a 37-year-old woman with significant gum issues related to hypertension treatment.* -
- A new 5-step EBD process is proposed, which includes formulating a clinical question, gathering and evaluating evidence, applying it, and assessing outcomes, with 31 relevant studies selected from an initial search of 34 articles.* -
- The findings indicate that nonsurgical treatment can effectively manage the combined conditions before considering surgical options, suggesting that EBD integration can be beneficial in complex periodontal cases.*
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth-implant proximity using an implant system with a double platform shift that was designed to load bone coronal to the implant-abutment cohort study was conducted between January 2008 and December 2009. The sample was composed of patients who had received at least one 5-mm-wide hydroxyapatite-coated single-tooth Bicon implant that had been placed adjacent to at least one natural tooth. Descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate linear mixed-effects regression models, adjusted for multiple implants in the same patient, were utilized.
