Risk indicators of long-term outcome of implant therapy in patients with a history of severe periodontitis or no history of periodontitis: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to assess factors associated with peri-implant disease in partially edentulous patients with a history of severe periodontitis or no history of periodontitis.

Methods: Partially edentulous patients with a history of severe periodontitis/without history of periodontitis who received implant surgery within the past 6 to 8 years were recalled. Clinical and radiographic examinations were recorded.

Effect of systemic administration of omeprazole on osseointegration around titanium dental implants: A histomorphometric study in dogs.

Background: Dental implants are widely accepted substitutes for replacing missing teeth. Many factors, including the use of specific drugs such as proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) (omeprazole), can affect the success of dental implantations. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the use of omeprazole and osseointegration of dental implants.

The effects of topical erythropoietin on non-surgical treatment of periodontitis: a preliminary study.

Background: The purpose of periodontal treatments is to reduce inflammation, restore gingival health and clinical attachment level gain by controlling microbial plaque formation and other etiological factors. One of the drugs that has been tested in many areas and shown good anti-inflammatory properties is erythropoietin (EPO). We evaluated the effect of this drug on the improvement of periodontitis after the phase I treatment.
