Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of a 0.1% cetylpyridinium chloride(CPC) rinse on the treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis.
Methods: A multicenter, randomized, parallel group trial was conducted. The eligible patients were divided randomly into two groups. Subjects were assessed at the beginning and the end of a two-week period during which they rinsed with 0.1% CPC or complex hibitane in addition to their usual oral hygiene procedures. The variation of PLI, SBI, GI, PD, pain, halitosis and adverse effects were observed before and after investigation.
Results: After 14 days of treatment, in the CPC group, the decreasing rate of PLI was 63.0%, the effective rate for gingivitis and periodontitis were 83.3%, 36.7% respectively, while those periodontal indices of control group were 49.5%, 50% and 16.7%. After statistical analysis, the CPC group had significantly higher effective rates on gingivitis than the hibitane group (P < 0.01), at the same time, the effective rate was significantly different between two groups on periodontitis (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The use of 0.1% CPC rinse is effective in treating periodontal diseases.

We report a beneficial effect of a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor in the management of insulin resistant diabetes mellitus (IRDM) in a Japanese girl with mild Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS). At 10 2/12 years of age, she was referred to us because of glucosuria, and was found to have marked acanthosis nigricans and RMS-like facial features such as proptosis, large ears, full lips, and gingival hypertrophy, but not other clinical features frequently found in RMS. At 11 9/12 years of age, her blood HbA1c level, though it remained ~ 6.

Objective: This case report presents the interdisciplinary retreatment of a patient with a worn full-mouth rehabilitation using defect-oriented restorations, horizontal preparations, and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) increase.
Clinical Considerations: A 58-year-old woman with a previous full-mouth rehabilitation presented with worn dentition, loss of VDO, and reduced posterior support. Examination revealed signs of parafunctional habits, tetracycline-stained teeth, and compromised aesthetics with exposed discolored teeth and open embrasure spaces.

Background: Newer generation platelet concentrates, such as advanced platelet-rich fibrin plus (A-PRF+) obtained following low-speed centrifugation concept and horizontal platelet-rich fibrin (H-PRF) obtained from swing out and bucket system, showed increased platelet entrapment and growth factor release in the in-vitro studies. This prospective study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of A-PRF+ and H-PRF membranes in the treatment of gingival recession defects. The objectives of this study were to compare the changes in the recession height (RH) and the mean root coverage percentage (MRC%) between and within the research groups.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze gingival fibroblast proliferation on additively manufactured polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) groups with different surface characteristics namely no treatment group (NTG) and customized 250 µm diameter porosity (AM-250G) group.
Materials And Methods: 3D-printed NTG was compared for its influence on growth of cells to a additively manufactured surface with porosity (AM-250G). For each group (NTG, AM-250G) 20 samples of material were tested.

Introduction And Aim: The assessment of gingival inflammation surface features mainly depends on subjective judgment and lacks quantifiable and reproducible indicators. Therefore, it is a need to acquire objective identification information for accurate monitoring and diagnosis of gingival inflammation. This study aims to develop an automated method combining intraoral scanning (IOS) and deep learning algorithms to identify the surface features of gingival inflammation and evaluate its accuracy and correlation with clinical indicators.
