Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how gender affects the outcomes of periodontal treatment by analyzing data from eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted in Brazil, the U.S., and Germany.
- Researchers compared clinical parameters between men and women diagnosed with severe forms of periodontitis before and one year after receiving treatment.
- Results showed that men had slightly worse clinical responses compared to women, but these differences were minimal and didn't seem clinically important, indicating that further research on gender influences in periodontal treatment is warranted.
Aim: To evaluate the frequency of side effects associated with intake of metronidazole (MTZ) + amoxicillin (AMX) in periodontal treatment, and to explore associations between these events and patients' features.
Materials And Methods: Data of five randomized clinical trials testing MTZ + AMX adjunctive to mechanical therapy were evaluated. Volunteers answered an adverse event questionnaire.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical effects of different dosages of metronidazole (MTZ) and durations of MTZ + amoxicillin (AMX) in the treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis (GChP).
Material And Methods: Subjects with severe GChP were randomly assigned to receive scaling and root planing (SRP)-only, or combined with 250 or 400 mg of MTZ + AMX (500 mg) thrice a day (TID), for 7 or 14 days. Subjects were monitored for 1 year.
Background: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein predicts cardiovascular events in a wide range of clinical contexts. However, the role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein as a predictive marker for perioperative acute myocardial infarction during noncardiac surgery is not yet clear. The present study investigated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels as predictors of acute myocardial infarction risk in patients undergoing high-risk noncardiac surgery.

Excessive gingival display due to gingival enlargement or altered passive eruption (dentogingival cause) can be corrected effectively through periodontal surgeries. This article describes two successful esthetic crown-lengthening surgeries that were guided by an acetate template to better predict the outcomes of the surgical procedures in relation to the symmetry and harmony of the gingival contour.

Subject And Methods: Eighteen subjects were divided in two groups: experimental (age 52.9+/-5.
