Mucocele: A Case Report.

Mucoceles are the most common minor salivary gland disorder and represent the second most frequent benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity, following irritative fibroma. Various treatment modalities have been suggested for mucocele among which different types of lasers being the most recent and advanced. In the present case reports, diode laser was used for the excision of mucocele on the lower lip, and the advantages of it over the conventional scalpel method were minimal discomfort, bleeding, recurrence, and better compliance among patients.

This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the applications of AI in periodontics, including its potential benefits, challenges, and future directions.

Comparison of the Impact of Two Interdental Cleaning Devices on the Reduction of Bleeding Around Implants.

Objective: Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of water flossing to traditional flossing in lowering the bleeding on probing (BOP) index around dental implants.

Methods And Materials: This single-center, examiner-masked research enrolled patients with implants and randomly allocated them to one of two groups. The research analyzed the effectiveness of manual toothbrushes when used with either string floss or a water flosser.

Comparison of Amnion Membrane and Hyaluronic Acid in Gingival Recession Coverage and Gain in Clinical Attachment Level following Coronally Advanced Flap Procedure-A Clinical Study.

Background: Gingival recession is defined as the apical migration of gingival margin to the cementoenamel junction. Recently, amnion membrane, the third-generation membrane which is a placental-derived tissue, has been introduced.

Materials And Methods: Study included 45 subjects with age group of 20-60 years of both genders.

Clinico-Radiographic Research Evaluating Crestal Bone Level and Bone Density Surrounding Dental Implants.

Aim: Planning the surgical operation, choosing the type of implant, and the effectiveness of the implant all heavily rely on the quantity and quality of the accessible bone. This study's goal was to determine how promptly inserted dental implants affected postoperative changes in bone density and crestal bone level by Cone bean computed tomography (CBCT) gray-scale value during a follow-up of three to six months.

Method: A prospective clinical-radiographic investigation was conducted.

A Comparative Evaluation of Soft and Hard Tissue Changes Around Dental Implants Placed With and Without Platelet-Rich Fibrin.

Background: A patient's ability to maintain a healthy bone-implant interface seems to be a major predictor of implant longevity over the long term. The implant surface is protected from the oral environment, the bone, and the implant itself by the peri-implant tissues. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been shown to help in the regeneration of bone and other connective tissues.

Effect of Subgingival Doxycycline Placement on Clinical and Microbiological Parameters in Inflammatory Periodontal Disease: Both in Vivo and in Vitro Studies.

Aim: To eva luate the effect of subgingival placement of doxycy-cline in the form of a resorbable membrane on the clinical and microbiological parameters in the treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease. Material and methods; We evaluated the effects of a controlled release system containing doxycycline both in vivo and in vitro conditions. Drug systems were prepared for both, and a total of 19 patients were included in the study with age range from 35 to 50 years.

Assessment of Sirtuin 3 and Sirtuin 4 Level in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontitis: A Clinical Study.

Aim: Periodontitis is considered as infection in periodontal supporting structure leading to tooth mobility and ulcerated periodontal pockets. The present study was conducted to assess Sirtuin 3 (SIRT 3) and SIRT 4 level in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted on 60 subjects.

Effect of smoking on salivary composition and periodontal status.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of smoking on the periodontal status and salivary composition of whole saliva in subjects with clinically healthy periodontium and chronic periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised of 400 subjects equally divided into four groups of non-smokers with clinically healthy periodontium, smokers with clinically healthy periodontium, non-smokers with chronic periodontitis and smokers with chronic periodontitis. Clinical measurements and non-stimulated whole saliva were obtained.
