Efect of periodontal disease and non surgical periodontal treatment on C-reactive protein. Evaluation of type 1 diabetic patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze how anti-infectious periodontal treatment affects C reactive protein (CRP) values in patients with type 1 diabetes, and correlate baseline CRP levels with periodontal disease severity.

Study Design: A cohort of fifty three subjects with type 1 diabetes and moderate to severe periodontitis were recruited. Periodontal parameters were measured, and blood samples were obtained to evaluate high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).

The effect of periodontal treatment on metabolic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The objective of this investigation was to study the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment, with or without systemic administration of doxycycline, on the metabolic control of patients with type 1 diabetes. Sixty type 1 diabetic subjects with moderate to severe periodontitis were recruited. Periodontal parameters were measured, and blood samples were obtained to evaluate glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).

Effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment with or without doxycycline on the periodontium of type 1 diabetic patients.

Aim: The present investigation was performed to study how type 1 diabetics responded to non-surgical periodontal treatment with and without adjunctive doxycycline.

Method: Sixty diabetic type 1 patients (mean age 35.3+/-9 years) with moderate-to-severe periodontal disease were selected and divided into two groups of 30 patients each.

SEM of retrieved etched screw implant 3 weeks after placement: a case report.

A case report of a retrieved etched screw implant 3 weeks after implant placement is presented. The implant was rinsed and placed in formalin solution and sent to the lab for scanning electron microscope qualitative analysis of the surface coating. Bone fragments and bone matrix could be observed on the etched surface.

Root coverage with enamel matrix derivatives.

Different root coverage procedures have been used to treat cases of gingival recession defects involving single or multiple exposed root surfaces. A therapeutic advantage may be gained if periodontal regeneration is obtained in addition to coverage of the root with gingiva. This article describes the treatment of gingival recession by combining a surgical technique with an enamel matrix derivative.
