Objectives: To determine the efficacy of 4 different oral hygiene regimens involving adjunctive interdental cleaning devices in unsupervised young subjects with intact interdental papilla.

Material And Methods: Sixty periodontally healthy subjects were randomly allocated to 4 groups following different oral hygiene regimens (T-7): use of manual toothbrush alone; manual toothbrush plus dental floss; manual toothbrush plus interdental brushes; and manual toothbrush plus rubber interdental picks. Oral hygiene instructions (OHI) were given.

Aim: A moderate acute-phase response occurs 24-h following full-mouth non-surgical treatment (FM-SRP). The aim of this study was to compare acute-phase (24-h) and medium-term (3 months) inflammation after quadrant scaling (Q-SRP) versus FM-SRP.

Material & Methods: Thirty-eight periodontitis-affected subjects were randomly allocated to FM-SRP or Q-SRP after a baseline visit.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the earlier phase of the osseointegration of a laser-treated implant surface in terms of human protein adsorption.

Materials And Methods: Titanium surfaces were divided into machined (M), sandblasted (SB), and laser-treated (LT). The LT surfaces were created with an Nd diode-pumped laser in Q-switching, whereas the SB were treated with Al2O3.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of various formulations of chlorhexidine 0.2% (CHX) in terms of plaque and gingival bleeding control compared to each other and to saline rinse (CTRL) over a 35-day rinsing period.

Materials And Methods: Seventy subjects were randomly allocated to one of 4 groups rinsing twice daily for 35 days.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies highlight the potential of dental pulp stromal cells (DPSCs) harvested from third molars as a valuable source of mesenchymal stem cells, showing self-renewal and multipotent differentiation capabilities.
  • DPSCs exhibit positive markers such as CD73, CD90, and CD105 while demonstrating the ability to differentiate into osteogenic and chondrogenic cells, as well as showing endothelial characteristics in angiogenesis assays.
  • Through various bioengineering methods, including ultrasounds and scaffolding materials, the growth and differentiation of DPSCs were enhanced, indicating their promise in regenerative medicine applications.
