Traumatic tooth fractures represent an intriguing challenge for clinicians, particularly when they involve the anterior region of the maxilla. In such situations, esthetic, psychosocial, functional, and therapeutic problems may have a negative effect on the patient's quality of life. In addition, fractures that involve the biologic width of the periodontium are even more difficult to treat. An interdisciplinary approach based on crown lengthening with or without orthodontic extrusion and the definitive prosthetic rehabilitation represent the standard modality of treatment for these conditions to restore the appropriate biologic dimension and to reduce the damage esthetically. However, if the margins of the fragment and the tooth show perfect juxtaposition with no interfragmentary space, an adhesive technique may be indicated. The aim of this case report is to describe the treatment of a severe subgingival tooth fracture by means of adhesive reattachment of the fragment followed by a periodontal evaluation over a 15-month period.

Objective: To characterize the subgingival microbiota in subjects with stage I/II periodontitis (moderate periodontitis, MP), stage III/IV periodontitis (severe periodontitis, SP), and periodontal health (PH) at the same probing depth (PD) (shallow ≤ 3 mm, moderate 4-6 mm, or deep ≥ 7 mm), and to investigate the changes associated with probing depth progression.
Materials And Methods: 100 subgingival plaque samples were collected from 50 subjects (16 MP, 17 SP and 17 PH), forming six groups: PHS (PH, shallow), MPS (MP, shallow), MPM (MP, moderate), SPS (SP, shallow), SPM (SP, moderate), and SPD (SP, deep). Samples were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing.

The prevalence of periodontitis in Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACC) drew attention to a significant public health issue exacerbated by socio-economic disparities. This consensus report, based on the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) S3 level clinical practice guidelines, proposed a multifaceted approach to periodontal health-care. The report highlighted the critical need for holistic, population-wide health policies and underscored the lack of documented community interventions in contemporary literature.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the presence of a specific pathogen and its JP2 genotype in 200 Western Australians with periodontitis.
- A total of 220 patients provided various oral samples for analysis, which showed a 28.18% prevalence of the pathogen, with higher rates in unstimulated saliva compared to cheek swabs and subgingival plaque.
- Key risk factors for severe periodontitis included younger age, positive family history of periodontal disease, poor oral hygiene, and irregular dental visits, while no JP2 genotype was detected in the cohort.

Introduction is a rod-shaped, anaerobic, gram-positive new bacteria. genus included new species such as , , and by taxonomic nomenclature in the year 2000. Its presence in oral bacterial flora is believed to increase severity of gingivitis and periodontitis, indicating some link between this bacterium and periodontal disease.

After confirming the absence of periapical lesions and sufficient crown structure, any caries or fractured restorations can be removed and replaced by an interim composite restoration. A shoulder subgingival preparation is performed and scanned with an intraoral scanner to design a CAD-CAM zirconia crown using a monolithic zirconia material.
