Article Abstract
Background: Suprabony defects are the most prevalent defects and there is very little evidence on their treatment. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of papilla preservation periodontal surgery in the periodontal reconstruction of combined deep intra-suprabony defects.
Material And Methods: 20 patients with combined intrabony and supra-alveolar deep periodontal defects treated by papilla preservation periodontal surgery were analyzed. Defects were treated with enamel matrix derivate plus xenograft. Clinical recordings made before surgery and at 12 months.
Results: Papilla preservation periodontal surgery showed significant PPD reduction (4.4 ± 1.46 mm; <0.001), clinical attachment gain (3.35 ± 1.6 mm; <0.001), increased REC (1.05 ± 0.94; <0.001), papilla apical displacement (0.85 ± 1.31 mm; <0.005) and KT reduction (0.5 ± 0.76 mm; <0.05). At one week, there was incomplete wound closure and necrosis in 40% and 30% of the treated sites, respectively. At one year, the intrabony component filling was 73.65 ± 27.6 % and the supra-alveolar attachment gain indicated an incomplete intrabony defect resolution (-0.15 ± 1.56 mm).
Conclusions: Periodontal pocket was significantly reduced and the level of clinical attachment increased. However, there was significant recession of the gingival margin and the papilla and a trend to incomplete resolution of the intrabony component.

The management of hair loss is vital in clinical dermatology due to its prevalence and impact on patients' quality of life. Quercetin is recognized for its diverse activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune regulation. However, its effects on human hair follicles and mechanisms remain unclear.
Ascariasis, caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, is a major public health issue, especially in developing nations such as Pakistan. It impacts millions, causing significant morbidity through starvation, stunted growth in children, and a variety of gastrointestinal issues. The taxonomy of the Ascaris genus, notably the distinction between A.
The anatomy of molar teeth is important both functionally for chewing food and in evolutionary studies as a well-preserved species marker in the fossil record. Molar teeth begin to develop their characteristic biting-surface shape of cusps (peaks) and sulci (valleys) at the bell stage, when corresponding folds in the dental epithelium become apparent. Theories about the developmental mechanisms of cusp and sulcus morphogenesis have hitherto largely focused on the non-proliferating nature of the secondary enamel knots (EKs) at the cusp tips.
Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a very rare gastrointestinal disorder with ectodermal abnormalities. Taste abnormalities appear in more than 80% of cases. Our objective was to investigate the characteristics of CCS.
Achaeta (Enchytraeidae, Oligochaeta, Clitellata) is a genus of small, soil-dwelling annelids, peculiar by the absence of chaetae in all species. Here two new species of this genus are described from afforestation sites in southern Poland. Descriptions are based on the investigation of living and preserved material.
