Effect of Amnioguard and Biomesh GTR Membranes with Novabone Putty in the Treatment of Periodontal Osseous Defects-A Communication.

(1) Background: Guided tissue regeneration was an effective surgical procedure in the management of intrabony defects and has undergone a number of changes in terms of materials and techniques. The aim of this study is to compare AmnioGuard and BioMesh in combination with NovaBone putty in intrabony defects. (2) Methodology: Ten patients who needed regenerative periodontal therapy were randomly allocated into two groups based on the inclusion criteria.

The Varied Proportion of in Periodontal Health and Disease in the South Indian Subpopulation.

Background And Aim: The periodontal microbiome being complex, this study was aimed to detect and quantify the prevalence of in various stages of periodontitis and to evaluate its prospect as a diagnostic marker for periodontal disease.

Settings And Design: Sixty subjects were selected (20 healthy controls, 20 with chronic periodontitis, and 20 with aggressive periodontitis) for the study.

Materials And Methods: Clinical parameters probing depth and the level of clinical attachment was recorded, subgingival plaque samples were collected.

Modified coronally advanced flap design in management of isolated gingival recession: Saddle flap technique.

Saddle flap technique, a modified coronally advanced flap approach for isolated gingival recession management was introduced and assessed in terms of clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction. A total of 10 systemically healthy subjects with isolated gingival recession defect (Miller Class I and II) were enrolled in the study. The primary endpoint measure was patient satisfaction in terms of esthetics and percentage root coverage.

Socket-Shield Technique of Mandibular Anterior Teeth: A Case Report.

With the aim of achieving an optimal aesthetic result, implant dentistry has become a prosthetically driven procedure. Special care is being taken to focus on the details that would lead to this objective. These details may include imitating the natural teeth by harmonizing the structures around the placed implant.

Antibacterial Efficacy of Sutures Coated With and Ciprofloxacin: A Comparative Evaluation.

Background: Sutures which are used for wound approximation can act as a reservoir of microbes at the surgical site leading to increased chances of surgical site infection (SSI). Sutures used in oral cavity are continuously bathed in saliva which results in wicking. Several studies on sutures treated with nanoparticles, antibacterial agent and various drugs to advance the therapeutical value of surgical sutures are in consideration, drug-eluting sutures has been notable in research to deliver localized effect on the site of incision.

A comparative evaluation of the efficacy of probiotic and chlorhexidine mouthrinses on clinical inflammatory parameters of gingivitis: A randomized controlled clinical study.

Background: The aim of our clinical trial was to assess and compare the antiplaque and anti-inflammatory potential of a probiotic mouthwash with 0.2% chlorhexidine and saline.

Materials And Methods: A randomized parallel group study was designed for a period of 4 weeks on 45 systemically healthy subjects between 20 and 30 years having chronic gingivitis.
