Article Abstract
Objectives: To compare erythritol air polishing with implant surface cleansing using saline during the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.
Material And Methods: During a resective surgical intervention, implant surfaces were randomly treated with either air polishing (test group n = 26 patients/53 implants) or saline-soaked cotton gauzes (control group n = 31 patients/ 40 implants). Primary outcome was change in mean bleeding on probing (BoP) from baseline to 12 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes were changes in mean suppuration on probing (SoP), plaque score (Plq), probing pocket depth (PPD), marginal bone loss (MBL), periodontal full-mouth scores (PFMS), and levels of 8 classical periodontal pathogens. Clinical and radiographical parameters were analyzed using multilevel regression analyses. Microbiological outcomes were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: No differences between the test and control group were found for BoP over 12 months of follow-up, nor for the secondary parameters Plq, PPD, and MBL. Between both groups, a significant difference was found for the levels of SoP (p = 0.035). No significant effect on microbiological levels was found. A total number of 6 implants were lost in the test group and 10 in the control group. At 1-year follow-up, a successful treatment outcome (PPD<5 mm, max 1 out of 6 sites BoP, no suppuration and no progressive bone loss >0.5 mm) was achieved for a total of 18 implants (19.2%).
Conclusions: Erythritol air polishing as implant surface cleansing method was not more effective than saline during resective surgical treatment of peri-implantitis in terms of clinical, radiographical, and microbiological parameters. Both therapies resulted in low treatment success.

Introduction And Aims: We aimed to investigate the efficacy of air-polishing in restoring the original tooth colour of standardised tobacco-stained tooth specimens.
Methods: Seventy-two specimens consisting of half dentine and half enamel were daily exposed to the smoke of five cigarettes in an automated smoking chamber. Four repetitions of a 14-day smoking cycle were performed.
Efficacy of Erythritol Air Polishing for Inducing Initial Healing of Shallow-to-Moderate Periodontal Pockets and Restoring Gingival Crevicular Fluid β-Catenin, 8-Hydroxy-Deoxyguanosine and Total Antioxidant Capacity: A Split-Mouth Randomised Clinical Trial.
Int J Dent Hyg
December 2024
Department of Periodontics, College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of subgingival erythritol powder air polishing (EPAP) for inducing initial healing of shallow-to-moderate periodontal pockets and its effect on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) β-catenin, 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels.
Methods: This randomised, split-mouth clinical trial involved 22 periodontitis patients. Periodontal pockets (4-6 mm) were treated either by scaling and root planing (control) or EPAP followed by subgingival instrumentation 1 month later (test).
Aerosols Contamination in the Dental Practice Following Everyday Procedures: An Observational Study.
Int J Dent Hyg

School of Dental Medicine, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Objective: The purpose of the present observational study was to evaluate the bacterial load in the air following various dental procedures.
Methods: Air contamination following seven aerosol-generating dental procedures was assessed. The air volume was sampled by a wet cyclone collector for 10 min during 10 sessions of the following procedures: air-polishing, ultrasonic instrumentation, manual instrumentation, rubber cup polishing, cavity preparation with a 1:5 red contra-angle, cavity preparation with turbine and Low Volume Evacuator (LVE), and cavity preparation with turbine and High Volume Evacuator (HVE).

Researcher, Topic Group Dental Diagnostics and Digital Dentistry, ITU/WHO Focus Group AI on Health, Berlin, Germany.
Objectives: Using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology in restorative dentistry increased the application of lithium disilicate (LD) materials. The bond strength to core and repairing materials is crucial in the restoration's longevity. This systematic review evaluates the shear bond strength (SBS) of CAD-CAM-LD restorative materials to other materials using different surface treatments.

Department of Prosthodontics and Materials Science, Leipzig University, Liebigstraße 12, 04103, Leipzig, Germany.
Objectives: This study investigated the influence of prophylactic treatments and thermocycling on the marginal and internal veneering interface (tooth-veneer) as well as on the surface texture of ceramic veneers.
Materials And Methods: A total of 32 extracted human premolars were restored with veneers made of lithium disilicate (LDS) or zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS). An artificial aging of the specimens was conducted via five cycles of both thermocycling (5/55°C) and prophylactic treatment (powder air polishing or ultrasonic scaling).
