Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two-piece and one-piece abutments in terms of esthetics, patient satisfaction, and oral health quality for single crowns on implants.
- Thirty implants were randomly divided into two groups (15 each) and various measurements for esthetics, satisfaction, and quality of life were taken at different time points.
- Results showed no significant differences between the two types of abutments, with both improving patient satisfaction and esthetics over time, indicating they are equally effective.
This integrative review addresses the potential of the Endocannabinoid System (ES) and cannabinoids in the pathogenesis and treatment of periodontal disease (PD). Cannabinoid receptors are expressed in healthy and inflamed periodontal tissues, indicating a potential regulatory role for SEC in oral homeostasis. Healthy periodontal cells express more CB1 receptors, while inflamed sites show increased CB2 receptors.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare periodontal health in teeth restored with ceramic crowns, evaluating the effects of crown lengthening surgery on clinical parameters like plaque index and gingival health.
- A total of 22 patients with 41 crowns participated, divided into two groups: those who underwent crown-lengthening and those who did not.
- Results showed that while some periodontal measures improved, there were no significant differences between groups regarding most follow-up periods; crown-lengthening surgery mainly influenced probing depth and clinical attachment level specifically at treated sites.
Objective: To evaluate gingival phenotypes in 100 subjects (n = 100), with regard to maxillary central incisors and surrounding periodontium in an observational diagnostic study.
Materials And Methods: Individuals were grouped based on: Probing depth (PD); keratinized mucosa (KM); Ratio Height/Width Crown (CH/CW), papilla area (PA), gingival thickness (GT) and Gingival Volume (GV). ANOVA and chi-square tests were performed with a significance level of 5%.
