Correlation Between ABO Blood Grouping and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) in Periodontal Diseases.

This study investigates the relationship between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and ABO blood grouping in the context of periodontal disorders. Periodontal diseases, chronic inflammatory conditions that damage the tissues supporting teeth, can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. ESR, a common hematological test indicating systemic inflammation, has been linked to the severity of periodontal disease.

Conventional Gingivectomy Procedure in the Management of Orthodontic-Induced Gingival Overgrowth: A Case Report.

Gingival enlargement (GE) can result from gingival inflammation, fibrous overgrowth, or a combination of both factors. Various etiological factors contribute to GE, including low-grade trauma, iatrogenic causes, drug-induced effects, systemic diseases, plaque accumulation, hormonal influences, vitamin deficiencies, genetic predispositions, and idiopathic reasons. Effective treatment in clinical practice hinges on accurately diagnosing the underlying cause.

Laser-Assisted Lingual Frenectomy: A Case Report.

A lingual frenectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing "tongue-tie" or ankyloglossia, where a strip of tissue restricting tongue movement is removed. Typically, this strip extends from the bottom of the mouth to the underside of the tongue. The procedure, often performed using a diode laser, offers several advantages including simplicity and safety for patients.

Single Tooth Replacement Using Immediately Loaded Basal Implant-Supported Fixed Prosthesis in a Hyperdense Lesion: A Case Report.

Osseous modifications in the periapical areas are related to chronic endodontic infections. Often, teeth with periapical infections and hopeless prognosis are removed and replaced with dental implants. In this clinical report, a patient with a radiopaque lesion on the root apex of the mandibular right first molar root is presented.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Ultrasonic Instruments Over Manual Instruments for Scaling and Root Planing in Patients With Chronic Periodontitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Periodontal disease is a chronic, complex, and infectious condition that affects the periodontium. Its progressive form can be identified by the loss and destruction of the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone, respectively. Periodontal disease, one of the most prevalent oral cavity diseases, is responsible for tooth loss.

Combined Effect of Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) and Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft (DFDBA) in Immediate Implant Placement: A Single-Arm Clinical Trial.

Introduction Placement of immediate implants in contrast to delayed implant placement may be favorable. The factors contributing to this are shortened overall treatment time, aid in ideal orientation and fixture placement, bone preservation following extraction, and achieving optimal aesthetics involving soft tissue. However, the gap distance between the surface of the implant and the buccal bony wall during implant placement is critical for subsequent bone healing in a fresh extraction socket.

Periodontal Management of Gummy Smile Due to Altered Passive Eruption: A Case Report.

Today's population is expanding quickly, and there is a growing desire for aesthetics. Smiles and other friendly facial expressions communicate joy and assurance. They are the essential elements of nonverbal communication and play a significant part in establishing a person's first impression.

Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin - A Revolution in Periodontal Regeneration.

As of a few years ago, platelet concentrates have been applied in a variety of medical and dental procedures. A notable aspect is that platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is the most commonly utilized platelet concentrate in the field of dentistry. The most significant modification that was used over the years but had the biggest impact was injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF), which has more special properties.

Comparative Analysis of Sedative Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine and Midazolam in Pediatric Dental Practice: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Children are particularly terrified of having dental treatment. They are physically resistant, frail, and unwilling to cooperate. This severe distress during the pre-operative phase could cause the dentist to have issues with behavior control.
