Evaluation and association of periodontal status with levels of in chronic periodontitis with and without Type 2 diabetes mellitus following nonsurgical periodontal therapy using quantitative polymerase chain reaction: An interventional study.

Background: The aim of the present study was to detect and correlate the levels of with clinical parameters after nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) in chronic periodontitis patients with or without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) method.

Materials And Methods: Sixty patients equally divided into three groups, i.e.

Clinico-radiographic comparative evaluation of 1% metformin gel plus platelet-rich fibrin over platelet-rich fibrin alone in the treatment of Grade II furcation defects: A randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial.

Background: The present study was aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of 1% MF plus PRF over PRF alone in treatment of Grade II furcation defects, clinically and radiographically by using cone-beam computed tomography.

Methods: This split-mouth clinical trial randomly allotted 21 patients with 42 bilateral Grade II furcation defects into two groups. Group I was treated with PRF alone while Group II with 1% MF gel and PRF.

Bone replacement grafts with guided tissue regeneration in treatment of grade II furcation defects: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: The present systematic review appended with meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bone replacement graft (BRG) with guided tissue regeneration (GTR) over BRG or open flap debridement (OFD) alone in the treatment of grade II furcation defects.

Materials And Methods: An electronic literature search of PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar databases accompanied with manual searching was done. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to October 2019, comparing BRG+GTR with BRG or OFD in grade II furcation defects, were identified.

Assessment of tooth and gingival display in maxillary anterior teeth and premolars relative to gingival and interdental smile lines.

Background: Gingival tissue circumforaneous to the maxillary anterior teeth has been known to play a crucial role in smile esthetics. Reports in the literature suggest that both tooth and gingival display in the premolar areas are relevant for a beautiful smile. The present study examines the amount of tooth and gingiva exhibited in relation to the gingival smile line (GSL) and the interdental smile line (ISL).
