Oral Diagnostic Methods for the Detection of Periodontal Disease.

Periodontitis is a common immune-inflammatory oral disease. Early detection plays an important role in its prevention and progression. Saliva is a reliable medium that mirrors periodontal health and is easily obtainable for identifying periodontal biomarkers in point-of-care diagnostics.

When a syndrome forms the background of a systemic involvement of periodontal disease, it is necessary to fully exploit the resources outside, which soon reaches its limits in private practice. In the patient's environment, it must be checked whether support for the patient can be guaranteed. Without support, as in this presented case, the patient's oral hygiene could hardly be maintained.

Quantitative measurements of aerosols from air-polishing and ultrasonic devices: (How) can we protect ourselves?

Aim: To assess the distribution and deposition of aerosols during simulated periodontal therapy.

Methods: A manikin with simulated fluorescein salivation was treated by four experienced dentists applying two different periodontal treatment options, i.e.

Systemically administered amoxicillin/ metronidazole versus azithromycin as adjuncts to subgingival instrumentation during non-surgical periodontal therapy. A systematic review.

The aim of this systematic review was to compare the combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole or azithromycin when used as adjunct systemic antibiotics during the non-surgical periodontal therapy of chronic periodontitis. The databases Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Biosis were electronically searched. Additionally, a hand search was conducted up to24 October 2019.

The Strange Case of a Broken Periodontal Instrument Tip.

This case report describes a rare case of a broken periodontal probe tip and its removal. A male patient presented himself in June 2019 due to a painful tooth in the upper left quadrant. The patient elected treatment in the dental school's student course.

Oral status and aesthetics after nonsurgical periodontal treatment: Do patient's perception and dentist's evaluation agree?

Objectives: Periodontal healing is often accompanied by side effects, which may cause an aesthetic deficit. The present investigation was focussed to compare patient's subjective perception of their posttherapy aesthetics with the objective measures of the results.

Materials And Methods: Survey results from patients (subjective parameters) on oral status and aesthetics were compared against routine clinical parameters and corresponding survey results from treating dentists (objective parameters), both before and after periodontal treatment.

Gingival recession after scaling and root planing with or without systemic metronidazole and amoxicillin: a re-review.

Background: Gingival recessions inevitably occur during healing after scaling and root planing, but synoptic data on this topic is still lacking. This review compared the recession formation with and without the administration of systemic antibiotics.

Objectives: To evaluate the formation of recession with and without the administration of antibiotics during the healing after scaling and root planing.

Efficacy of chlorhexidine rinses after periodontal or implant surgery: a systematic review.

Background: Biofilm management and infection control are essential after periodontal and implant surgery. In this context, chlorhexidine (CHX) mouth-rinses are frequently recommended post-surgically. Despite its common use and many studies in this field, a systematic evaluation of the benefits after periodontal or implant surgery is-surprisingly-still missing.

Comparing the Antimicrobial In Vitro Efficacy of Amoxicillin/Metronidazole against Azithromycin-A Systematic Review.

On account of its proven clinical efficacy, the combination of systemically administered amoxicillin and metronidazole is frequently adjuncted to non-operative periodontal therapy and well documented. Potential drawbacks of this regimen, e.g.
