Effect of minimally invasive treatment for intrabony defects using Bio-Oss® collagen.

The potential of Bio-Oss® collagen xenograft for treating intrabony defects using minimally invasive surgical methods is of interest. Hence, 30 defect sites in individuals with mild to severe chronic periodontitis were investigated. Participants were randomly divided into two groups of 15 each.

To Evaluate the Association Between Serum Concentration of Vitamin D and Chronic Periodontitis in Non-menopausal Females: A Clinico Biochemical Study.

Background: Periodontal disease's initiation and propagation is through a dysbiosis of the commensal oral microbiota. But recently, through the extraordinary progress, the interrelationship that exists between periodontal disease and systemic health has been unveiled. Through various studies, it has been revealed that vitamin D deficiency may be associated with a greater risk of developing chronic periodontitis and vitamin D supplementation may help to preserve periodontal health.

Assessment of Lipid Peroxidation Levels and Total Antioxidant Status in Chronic and Aggressive Periodontitis Patients: An in vivo Study.

Introduction: Periodontitis is a common problem affecting a significant population of the world. For the assessment of oxidative stress of an individual, total oxidation status (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) are the significant biomarkers. Hence, we planned the present study to assess malondialde-hyde (MDA), TOS, TAOC levels, and oxidative stress index (OSI) in generalized aggressive periodontitis (GP) and chronic periodontitis (CP) patients.
