Topical Oxygen Therapy for Promoting Healing After Implant Placement Using Blue® M Gel: A Report of Two Cases.

Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, are distinguished by a gradual onset of inflammation within the peri-implant mucosa, resulting in bone resorption and, ultimately, implant failure. Topical oxygen therapy is recognized for its ability to decrease inflammation, enhance blood flow, and provide a bacteriostatic effect. Utilizing oxygen-based therapy products as a local treatment for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis may lead to comparable clinical results as traditional local adjuncts such as chlorhexidine, antibiotics, and antibacterial agents.

Correlations of gingival biotype with clinical crown and periodontal parameters in maxillary and mandibular jaws.

Background: The gingival biotype (GB) influences treatment planning and clinical outcomes in several dental specialties. This study aimed to investigate the associations between the GB and various clinical crown and periodontal parameters, such as probing depth (PD), papillary height (PH), keratinized tissue width (KTW), crown width/crown length ratio (CW/CL), and gingival thickness (GT). The secondary objective was to evaluate the optimal cutoff values for all parameters to determine the GB in both the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth.

Knowledge, Attitude and Perception Regarding Artificial Intelligence in Periodontology: A Questionnaire Study.

Introduction: The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models has brought about a significant transformation in the manner in which periodontists gather information, evaluate associated risks, develop diverse treatment alternatives, anticipate and diagnose dental conditions that compromise periodontal health. The principal objective of this prospective study was to examine periodontists' understanding and acceptance of the application of AI in the realm of periodontology.

Materials And Methods: This observational study was conducted on 275 participants based on questionnaire using Google Forms.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with an ocular defect: a simplified approach.

Mutilation of a portion of a face can cause a heavy impact on the self-image and personality of an individual. Acceptable cosmetic results usually can be obtained with a facial prosthesis. This paper describes prosthetic rehabilitation of a 60-year-old male patient having a left ocular defect.
