Aim: To assess the potential benefits of minimally invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST) in teeth with intrabony defects and to explore factors associated with the outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A multi-centre trial was conducted in 100 intrabony defects in periodontitis patients in private practice. Steps 1 and 2 periodontal therapy including MINST were provided.
Background: Recent research is increasingly showing that host genetic variants can affect the colonization by specific microbes. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the associations between host genetic variants and subgingival microbial detection and counts.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted in Ovid Medline, Embase, LILACS and Cochrane Library for studies reporting data on host genetic variants and detection of microbes subgingivally.
Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the study design and reporting of studies on periodontal regeneration, with respect to the effect of the provision of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) before surgery.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted for studies on periodontal regeneration on Medline and EMBASE, complemented by a manual search. Initially, 3310 potentially eligible articles were identified.
Objectives: The current classification assumes that aggressive periodontitis (AgP) has a faster rate of progression than chronic periodontitis (CP). However, this has not been clearly proven and difficulties exist in establishing progression. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of retrospectively utilising previous records for clinical diagnosis of periodontal diseases and to assess if two different patterns of disease progression exist between AgP and CP.
