Effectiveness of nonsurgical re-instrumentation of residual pockets as step 3 of periodontal therapy: A field study.

Background: The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of nonsurgical re-instrumentation of residual pockets as step 3 of periodontal therapy and the stability of treatment outcomes at 18 months.

Methods: The study sample consisted of 489 patients diagnosed and treated nonsurgically for periodontitis. After a 6-month evaluation, residual pockets (≥5 mm) were re-instrumented.

The Management of Periodontally Diseased Individuals-A Registry-Based Study on a Swedish Population.

Objectives: This registry-based study aimed to describe cross-sectional dental and demographic data with focus on diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. A second aim was to analyse the extent and content of performed periodontal treatment in patients with varying degrees of periodontitis and if treatment was provided on equal terms. An additional aim was to identify if possible differences in treatments were related to type of dental insurance system.

A randomized multi-centre study on the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal therapy in general practice.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of two non-surgical treatment protocols for periodontitis patients in general dental practice.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-five dental hygienists (59 dental clinics) were randomly assigned to one of two treatment protocols: (i) establishment of adequate self-performed oral hygiene prior to a single session of ultrasonic instrumentation (guided periodontal infection control [GPIC]) or (ii) conventional non-surgical therapy (CNST) including patient education and scaling and root planing integrated in multiple sessions. Residual pockets at 3 months were retreated in both groups.

Patient-reported experiences and outcomes following two different approaches for non-surgical periodontal treatment: a randomized field study.

Context: The current report is part of a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, quasi-randomized field study focusing on the effectiveness in general praxis of evidence-based procedures in the non-surgical treatment of patients with periodontitis.

Objective: The specific aims were to (i) evaluate patient-reported experience and outcome measures of treatment following a guided approach to periodontal infection control (GPIC) compared to conventional non-surgical therapy (CNST) and to (ii) identify potential predictors of subjective treatment outcomes and patient's adherence to self-performed infection control, i.e.

Peri-implant tissue healing at implants with different designs and placement protocols: An experimental study in dogs.

Objectives: To compare the peri-implant tissue response to subcrestal or crestal placement of implants with or without "platform-switched" implant/abutment connections.

Material And Methods: On each side of the mandible in six Labrador dogs, two "platform-switched" (PS) implants and two implants with matching implant/abutment diameters (PM) were placed in a crestal or a 1.5 mm subcrestal position.

Healing at implants placed in an alveolar ridge with a sloped configuration: an experimental study in dogs.

Purpose: To study healing around implants placed in an alveolar ridge with a sloped lingual-buccal configuration.

Materials And Methods: Six Labrador dogs were used. Buccal bone defects were prepared in the mandible after extraction of premolars.

Subcrestal placement of two-part implants.

Objective: The aim of the present experiment was to study the healing around two-part implants that were placed in a subcrestal position.

Material And Methods: Five mongrel dogs, about 2 years old, were included. The mandibular premolars and the first, second and third maxillary premolars were extracted.

Placement of two-part implants in sites with different buccal and lingual bone heights.

Background: Recipient sites for implants often exhibit a vertical discrepancy between the buccal and lingual bone crest. The potential to preserve the lingual bone when placing the implant within the dimension determined by the buccal bone in such sites remains to be evaluated.

Methods: Five dogs were included in this study.

The mucosal barrier at implant abutments of different materials.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the soft tissue barrier formed to implant abutments made of different materials.

Material And Methods: Six Labrador dogs, about 1 year old, were used. All mandibular premolars and the first, second and third maxillary premolars were extracted.

Morphogenesis of the peri-implant mucosa: an experimental study in dogs.

Purpose: The objective of the present experiment was to study the morphogenesis of the mucosal attachment to implants made of c.p. titanium.
