Treatment of Gingival Fenestration with Connective Tissue Graft: A Case Report.

Here, we report a case of gingival fenestration requiring periodontal plastic surgery. The patient was a 32-year-old man presenting with the chief complaint of esthetic impairment and gingival twitching due to gingival fenestration. Baseline examination revealed localized periodontal breakdown, including gingival fenestration in the lower right central incisor (#41).

Treatment of Severe Chronic Periodontitis with Surgical and Prosthetic Intervention: A 9-year Follow-up Case Report.

A 60-year-old woman presented with the chief complaint of mobility of tooth #16. Gingival swelling and calculus were observed. Clinical examination revealed that 49.

Periodontal Regenerative Therapy of Intrabony Defects Using Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral in Combination with Collagen Barrier Membrane: A Multicenter Prospective Case-Series Study.

This multicenter prospective case series study aimed to evaluate the outcome of periodontal regenerative therapy using a deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in combination with a collagen barrier (CB) in the treatment of intrabony defects. A total of 36 nonsmoking patients with chronic periodontitis were recruited in five centers in Japan. All patients had at least one intrabony defect of ≥ 3 mm.

Enhanced healing of surgical periodontal defects in rats following application of a self-assembling peptide nanofibre hydrogel.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a self-assembling peptide (SAP) nanofibre hydrogel on healing of surgical periodontal defects in rats.

Materials And Methods: In vitro interactions between rat periodontal ligament (PDL) cells and SAP hydrogel (2.5% RADA16) were assessed by cell proliferation assays.

Point-of-care detection of Tannerella forsythia using an antigen-antibody assisted dielectrophoretic impedance measurement method.

Unlabelled: The importance of periodontal treatment planning based on diagnosis with clinical detection of periodontal pathogens has been well recognized. However, reliable detection and quantification methods that can be conveniently used at chair-side have yet to be developed. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical use of a novel apparatus which uses an antigen-antibody reaction assisted dielectrophoretic impedance measurement (AA-DEPIM) for the detection of a prominent periodontal pathogen, Tannerella forsythia.

Effect of collaborative intervention by medical and dental professionals on adherence to smoking abstinence.

The need for smoking cessation care is widely recognized. It is, however, difficult to achieve continued smoking abstinence, even when cessation has initially been achieved. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a collaborative smoking cessation program involving both medical and dental professionals on smoking abstinence.

Effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) in combination with beta tricalcium phosphate on root coverage in dog.

Objective: In root coverage treatment, periodontal regeneration in gingival recession-type defects is an important challenge for the periodontist. The aim of this study was to histometrically investigate the effect of combined use of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) and beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) on root coverage in dogs.

Materials And Methods: Sixteen adult beagle dogs were used.

Effect of platelet-derived growth factor-BB on root resorption after reimplantation of partially denuded tooth in dog.

The prognosis for a reimplanted tooth depends largely on the condition of the root. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB has been shown to regenerate periodontal tissue in animal and human clinical studies. However, information regarding the effect of PDGF-BB on tooth reimplantation is limited.

Coverage of gingival recession defects using acellular dermal matrix allograft with or without beta-tricalcium phosphate.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) particles in combination with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) allograft in gingival recession. Experimental gingival recession defects were created in beagle dogs and randomly assigned to one of the following groups: ADM, ADM + β-TCP, or coronally positioned flap (CPF; control). Tissues were histologically examined at 4, 8, or 16 weeks following treatment.
