A CPITN survey was conducted involving 12,832 Japanese subjects from 7 to 64 years of age. Subjects under 18 were schoolchildren, and 18-year-old and older subjects represented various social backgrounds, having been randomly selected from both urban and rural Japan. Fifty percent of the 7-yr-old children had signs of periodontal disease, and this percentage increased with increasing age. In those under 14, this increase in periodontal disease was mainly due to an increase in the proportion of children developing dental calculus. Subjects with 6 mm or deeper pockets were observed starting from the 20-29-yr-old age group. In subjects over this age, the prevalence of periodontal disease was higher in men than in women. The percentages of subjects having pathologic pockets had increased remarkably in the 30-44-yr-olds. In the 45-64-yr-old group, almost all subjects had some sign of periodontal disease, and the percentage of those with 4 or 5 mm pockets and 6 mm or deeper pockets were 37% and 21%, respectively.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to compare the clinical efficacy of the application of "Armenicum" paste as an adjunct to SRP for the non-surgical treatment of patients with periodontitis.
Methods: The current RCT prospective study was conducted on 157 patients with chronic periodontitis. The patients were blind randomly assigned into two groups: Group A (SRP + Armenicum" paste) 81 patients (42 males and 39 females, 37 to 68 years) and Group B (SRP) 76 patients (39 males and 37 females, 37 to 68 years).

Periodontitis constitutes the primary cause of tooth loss among adults in China. The disease is characterized by the high morbidity, which significantly impairs both oral and systemic health. As the key insights of initial periodontal therapy, subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) have been considered as simple, effective, and cost-efficient treatment approaches for managing periodontal inflammation.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the salivary protein profile in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and periodontitis and their respective controls.
Methods: Eighty participants were included in the study. The four groups were formed by individuals with DM2 and periodontitis (DM2 + P, n = 20), DM2 without periodontitis (DM2, n = 20), periodontitis without DM2 (P, n = 20) and individuals without periodontitis and without DM2 (H, n = 20).

Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University, Organization of African Unity Street, Cairo, Egypt, 11766.
As photobiomodulation is growing in the dental field the aim of this prospective, two-arm clinical trial was to assess the radiographic changes for chronic periapical bone lesions related to mandibular molars after primary root canal therapy with or without applying Diode laser on soft tissue. The samples were randomly divided into a Laser group and a mock laser (ML) group. Preoperative CBCT images were compared 12 months later with postoperative CBCT to gauge the changes in the volume of the bony lesion by two observers.
