Periodontal disease and anemias associated with Crohn's disease. A case report.

Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease with oral findings, including periodontal manifestations. Anemias, such as iron deficiency and anemia of chronic disease (ACD), are the most common hematologic complications of CD. Periodontitis has systemic effects, and may tend toward anemia, which can be explained by depressed erythropoiesis.

Correlation between occlusal forces and marginal bone levels around implant-retained restorations: a clinico-radiological study.

The study measured the maximal occlusal forces (MOFs) and marginal bone levels (MBLs) around single implant-retained restorations over a period of 1 year and studied the correlation between them. Results showed that there was no change in MOFs at the end of 1 year and that the MBLs were stabilized by the end of 1 year. There was no statistically significant correlation between MOFs and MBLs.

Anterior middle superior alveolar injection is effective in providing anesthesia extending to the last standing molar in maxillary periodontal surgery.

Background: Multiple injections are required to anesthetize the maxilla for periodontal surgery that involves a quadrant or multiple teeth across the midline. The anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) field block was reported to effectively anesthetize the central incisors to the mesial aspect of the first molar of the maxilla with one or two injections. To our knowledge, the extent of anesthesia has not been reported beyond first molars in the literature.
