BOP (biocompatible osteoconductive polymer) is a material proposed for osteosyntheses and for filling of bone defects in orthopaedics, neurosurgery and stomatology. It is a composite made of a copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and methylmethacrylate, of polyamide-6 fibers and of calcium gluconate. The histological investigation includes the study of 30 intact rabbit femurs instrumented with a BOP rod, as well as the study of organs of the reticuloendothelial system. The currently available results show the absence of toxicity on hematopoietic tissue. Zones of osteoblastic activity surround the rods, coupled with an osteoclastic reaction which may result in the partial fragmentation of the polyamide fibers and its incorporation in the newly formed bone. We also observed the encapsulation of the material. The biomechanical approach investigated the mechanical properties of the material in bending and in shear. The radiological aspects of the investigation consisted of computerized axial tomography of the implanted femurs to measure density at the bone-implant interface.

Science Department, College of education, University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Rustaq, Oman.
Objectives: This study attempted to develop 2 biodegradable periodontal chips containing (miswak) or benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) extracts and evaluate their clinical effectiveness in managing periodontitis.
Methods: This clinical trial was conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, from September 2010 to April 2012. Periodontal chips were formulated using , benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and chitosan extracts.
The Effect of Chitosan Gel 15% in the Surgical Treatment of Stage III Periodontitis: A Case Report of Two Cases.

Periodontal diseases are widely spread, particularly in adults. Chitosan has non-toxicity and biocompatibility properties, as it has been studied in many studies in various surgical applications. This case report includes two female patients (aged 23 and 48) who were treated by the application of Chitosan gel 15% during open flap debridement in an aggregate of 26 periodontal pockets.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of bone reconstructive procedures for the reduction of probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and suppuration in peri-implantitis-related bone defects at ≥12-month follow-up.
Materials And Methods: Three databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) that compared bone reconstructive therapies to access flap surgery (AFS) (Focused Question-FQ 1), and RCTs, CCTs, and prospective case series that assessed the efficacy of reconstructive therapies (FQ 2). Meta-analysis was performed for FQ1 when more than three studies were identified, while for FQ2 a network was drawn based on RCTs with common treatment arms.
A Comparative Clinical Study of Er:YAG Laser and Hand Instruments in the Treatment of Moderate Chronic Periodontitis.
Folia Med (Plovdiv)
December 2021
Biomedical analysis LTD, Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
Introduction: Moderate chronic periodontitis is the most common periodontal disease. The treatment of this condition should aim at achieving a biocompatible root surface and decontamination of the pocket, thereby restoring the health status.
Aim: In the present study, the aim was to examine the clinical effectiveness of fibreless Er:YAG laser used for scaling and root planing and to compare it with a conventional treatment with Gracey curettes.
Vital root resection in severely furcation-involved maxillary molars: Outcomes after up to 7 years.
J Clin Periodontol
August 2020
Department of Periodontology and Synoptic Dentistry, Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Aims: To introduce a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of furcation-involved maxillary molars by vital root resection and report longer-term outcomes of a case series.
Methods: Eleven patients with 15 maxillary molars affected by double/triple class II (n = 10) or single/double class III (n = 5) furcation defects and advanced vertical bone loss around one root participated. Teeth were treated with deep pulpotomy using a calcium silicate-based cement.
