The aim of this study was to evaluate the histometric effects of subgingival irrigation with different solutions as adjuvant for the treatment of periodontal disease in rats. Periodontal disease was induced by ligature in the first lower molars of 91 Wistar rats over the course of 28 days. After removal of the ligatures, the animals were subjected to scaling and root planing, followed by subgingival irrigation with different solutions (0.9% saline, 0.2% chlorhexidine, 0.1% and 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and 11% propolis extract). The animals were sacrificed 7 and 14 days after the treatment and tissue was processed for histometric analysis for evaluation of bone support and epithelial migration. The histometric analysis showed no statistically significant differences between the group treated with scaling and groups treated with subgingival irrigation (p > 0.05) regarding bone support and epithelial migration. Similarly, significant differences were not found among the different solutions used for subgingival irrigation. This study agrees with the position of the American Academy of Periodontology, which states that there is insufficient evidence to indicate the routine use of subgingival irrigation as adjuvant to periodontal treatment.

Intracanal Antibacterial Effects of a Bioceramic Medication Compared With Calcium Hydroxide Pastes in Different Vehicles.

Introduction: The intracanal antibacterial effectiveness of a bioceramic medication was compared with calcium hydroxide pastes in different vehicles.
Methods: Extracted mandibular incisors with a single long oval canal were selected and distributed into 5 groups based on anatomically paired microcomputed tomographic analyses. The root canals were prepared up to an instrument size 35/04 and contaminated for 30 days with a mixed bacterial culture from subgingival biofilm added with Enterococcus faecalis.
Association between Periodontal Disease and Oral Benign, Potentially Malignant, Malignant, and Chronic Immune-Mediated Disorders: A Clinical Study.

: Periodontal disease is an inflammatory, chronic, and multifactorial disease. The objective of this study is to analyze the association between periodontal disease and some disorders such as papillomas (benign lesions), lichen planus (a chronic immune-mediated disorder), leukoplakia (potentially malignant lesions), and oral cancer (malignant lesions). : For this study, 42 patients were recruited whose supragingival and subgingival plaque was qualitatively analyzed using a phase-contrast microscope, which allowed for the detection of compatible bacterial flora (immobile and composed mainly of cocci) indicative of periodontal health and incompatible bacterial flora (mobile and composed mainly of spirochetes) indicative of periodontal pathology.

Article Synopsis
- This study developed a method to test disinfection techniques for lateral canals in extracted teeth using an ex vivo model.
- The researchers created lateral canals in mandibular premolars and contaminated them with a bacterial culture to evaluate the effectiveness of different disinfection procedures.
- Results showed that all tested methods significantly reduced bacterial presence in the canals, with no significant differences in effectiveness among the various disinfection techniques used.
Oral health management in children with severe congenital neutropenia with periodontitis: Case report.

Article Synopsis
- Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rare genetic condition that affects the immune system, leading to a child experiencing symptoms like oral bleeding, recurrent fevers, and low neutrophil counts.
- A boy diagnosed with SCN was also found to have chronic periodontitis, prompting a comprehensive oral health management plan that included periodontal treatments and eventual hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
- After initial periodontal treatment, the child's oral hygiene improved significantly, although there was no notable change in his blood indicators, highlighting the importance of tailored treatment plans for patients with SCN to prevent severe infections and manage oral health effectively.
Comparative evaluation of thermal impact of 980nm diode laser on soft tissue using irrigation and non-irrigation systems: A histomorphometric study.

Background: Diode laser is one of the most captivating technologies in dental practice. In periodontics, when used at appropriate settings, it possesses the best properties for selective surgical and nonsurgical procedures such as subgingival calculus removal without a thermal change of the root surface, and also provides tissue surface sterilization. However, lasers always produce a certain amount of thermal damage to the soft tissues.
