Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how specific characteristics of bone defects, like the angle of the defect and the presence of surrounding bone walls, affect the success of combining enamel matrix derivative (EMD) with bone grafting in periodontal therapy.
- - Over a 3-year period, they analyzed 282 bone defects from 177 participants who received either EMD alone or with autologous bone grafting, using regression analysis to measure changes in bone defect depth.
- - Findings suggested that bone grafting combined with EMD is particularly beneficial for defects with a greater angle (≥40°), indicating that the morphology of the defect plays a key role in treatment efficacy.
Objective: Socio-economic status (SES) and smoking are risk factors for periodontitis; however, their interaction has not been determined. We investigated the effect of modification of SES and smoking with periodontal conditions.
Materials And Methods: Data on the social background, smoking status, and dental examination of 1033 individuals residing in the Tokyo Metropolitan District were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the age of patients influences the outcomes of periodontal regenerative therapy (PRT) using enamel matrix derivative (EMD) over a three-year period.
- A total of 253 intra-bony defects from 151 patients were examined, measuring improvements in probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and radiographic bone defect depth (RBD) post-treatment.
- While older age negatively impacted short-term improvements in PPD and CAL at the one-year mark, significant clinical advancements were observed in all age groups by the three-year follow-up, indicating effective long-term outcomes of PRT with EMD.
Aims: The impact of periodontal inflammation on lipid metabolism is controversial. This study aimed to investigate the association between full-mouth periodontal inflammation and serum lipid levels.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we performed periodontal and bacteriological examinations during medical checkup on 131 subjects.
We investigated the biological effects of Er:YAG laser (2940-nm; DELight, HOYA ConBio, Fremont, California) irradiation at fluences of 3.6, 4.2, 4.

The pain associated with dentin hypersensitivity during ultrasonic scaling is intolerable for patient and interferes with the procedure, particularly during supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) for patients with gingival recession.
Aim: This study proposed to evaluate the desensitizing effect of the oxalic acid agent on pain caused by dentin hypersensitivity during ultrasonic scaling.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. Monocytes and macrophages stimulated by periodontopathic bacteria induce inflammatory mediators that cause tooth-supporting structure destruction and alveolar bone resorption. In this study, using a DNA microarray, we identified the enhanced gene expression of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in human monocytic cells stimulated by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
