Spontaneous postoperative bleeding after periodontal procedure: An alarming sign of bleeding disorder.

The prevalence of inherited bleeding disorders (BDs) is low in the general population (10-20 per 100,000 individuals), particularly hemophilia B cases, which may remain undiagnosed for a very long time until exposed to some surgical procedure. The dental professional must be aware of the possibility that patients with no previous history of abnormal bleeding may manifest their first bleeding episode in the dental office. Particularly as periodontists, we often encounter patients with bleeding gums and severe bleeding complications may precipitate while performing routine periodontal procedures.

Application of Hard and Soft Tissue Regenerative Approach in Predictable Management of Peri-Implantitis: A Five-Year Follow-Up Case Report.

As implant dentistry expands, the number of implants being placed increases, and so does the prevalence of associated complications, resulting in implant failure if not timely attended. The present case report aims to discuss the successful regenerative management of peri-implantitis by both hard and soft tissue augmentation with a five-year follow-up. A 60-year-old male reported a chief complaint of purulent discharge, 7 mm peri-implant probing depth, and radiographic bone loss with no pathologic mobility of the dental implant.

Post-COVID mucormycosis in presentation of periodontal abscess.

COVID-19 pandemic has traumatized deep inside in minds and lives of human beings. Those who have survived are at risk of many post-COVID complications; mucormycosis being one of the most common as well as morbid infections. Mucormycosis is also known as black fungus, it is a life-threatening opportunistic fungal infection.

Giant Dental Calculus: A Rare Case Report and Review.

Inadequate oral hygiene is the root cause of the initiation and establishment of the periodontal disease. Dental calculus serves as plaque retentive area, thereby contributing to gingivitis and periodontitis. The present unusual case is of a 55-year-old female patient reported to the department of periodontology with a chief complaint of hard deposit at the right maxillary and mandibular posterior region.

Effective management of focal reactive gingival overgrowths by diode laser: A review and report of two cases.

Background: Focal reactive gingival overgrowths (FRGO) are a common observation in a clinical dental practice that may occur in response to external and internal chronic stimuli in form of fibrous connective tissue lesions in the oral mucosa. Gingiva is the most commonly involved site of oral reactive lesions. For the confirmed diagnosis of FRGO not only clinical, but the histopathological presentation of the lesion plays a vital role.

A Rare Case of Plasma Cell Gingivitis with Cheilitis.

Background: Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a rare condition of the gingiva, characterized histopathologically by infiltration of plasma cells in connective tissue. Hypersensitivity reaction due to antigen is considered as primary etiological factor.

Case Presentation: The present case is of an 18-year-old male patient suffering from gingival enlargement along with cheilitis.

Management of massive peripheral ossifying fibroma using diode laser.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) represents a non-neoplastic, reactive lesion of gingiva. The precise etiopathogenesis of POF is unclear; however, it is suggested to originate from the connective tissue of periodontal ligament. This lesion predominantly occurs in the maxillary anterior region.

Regular oral screening and vigilance: can it be a potential lifesaver?

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant neoplasm of myeloid series defined by the presence of immature blast cells (>30%) in peripheral circulation. Oral manifestations are the potential indicators of systemic health and disease. Oral cavity is the frequently and early involved sites in AML.

Effect of azithromycin on gingival overgrowth induced by cyclosporine A + nifedipine combination therapy: A morphometric analysis in rats.

Background: Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is a well-known adverse effect of cyclosporine A (CsA) and nifedipine (Nf) therapy. The aim of the present morphometric study was to evaluate the effect of azithromycin (Azi) on the combined GO in rats induced by CsA + Nf combination.

Materials And Methods: Thirty Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided equally into three groups.

Effect of Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment on Clinical and Biochemical Risk Markers of Cardiovascular Disease: A Randomized Trial.

Background: Various studies have shown periodontal disease is one of the risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD), and periodontal treatment of patients with CHD has also been correlated with reduction in systemic markers of CHD. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on the cardiovascular clinical and biochemical status of patients with CHD.

Methods: Seventy known patients with CHD were allocated randomly to either a control group (C; no periodontal therapy) (n = 35) or an experimental group (E; NSPT in the form of scaling and root planing [SRP]) (n = 35).
