Purpose: The aim of the study was to estimate and compare the Saliva and GCF levels of NT-proBNP in systemically healthy subjects with severe chronic periodontitis before and after periodontal flap surgery.
Materials And Methods: Twenty subjects were selected and divided into two groups based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Healthy Controls: 10 periodontally and systemically healthy subjects. Presurgery Group: 10 systemically healthy subjects with severe chronic generalized periodontitis. Postsurgery Group included Presurgery Group subjects who will undergo periodontal flap surgery. After the periodontal parameters were measured, GCF and saliva samples were collected. Postsurgery Group subjects underwent periodontal flap surgery and both periodontal parameters and GCF and saliva levels were reassessed after 6 months.
Results: Presurgery Group showed a higher mean value of plaque index, modified gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level when compared to Healthy Controls and it was found to decrease after periodontal flap surgery (Postsurgery Group). Intergroup comparison (Presurgery Group vs Postsurgery Group) of the mean difference of salivary NT-proBNP was found to be statistically significant. GCF levels of NT-proBNP also decreased after periodontal flap surgery but the difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: NT pro-BNP levels were found to be higher in periodontitis group as compared to the controls. The levels decreased following surgical periodontal therapy, elucidating the role of periodontal treatment on the expression of NT-proBNP as a salivary and GCF marker. NT-proBNP could serve as a potential biomarker for periodontitis in saliva and GCF in future.

Comparative Evaluation of the Flap and Flapless Techniques for the Extraction of Impacted Third Molars Using a Split-Mouth Prospective Randomized Control Research.
J Pharm Bioallied Sci

Aim: Comparative evaluation of the flap and flapless techniques for the extraction of impacted third molars using a split-mouth prospective randomized control research.
Material And Methods: The research comprised 120 healthy individuals. Every patient having surgery was separated into two locations and then randomly allocated to two groups: Group I (control, n = 60) had surgical extraction of the lower third molar by elevating a buccal flap, and Group II (study group, n = 60) had surgical extraction of the lower third molar without the need to raise a buccal flap.

Background: Mucogingival surgery is reliable technique to treat both functional and esthetic issues on teeth. In particular, the treatment success of gingival recessions depends on flap design. An inaccurate flap design could lead to surgical failure.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of flap design, grafting material, and graft dimension on flap tension and the initial volume increase achieved in soft tissue augmentation.
Methods: Six fresh porcine jaw cadavers were used in this study. Each side of the jaw was randomly assigned to receive either a standard split-thickness flap or a split-thickness flap with a palatal island.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of suture removal timing on the clinical outcomes of root coverage procedures.
Materials And Methods: In this single-blinded, randomized prospective clinical trial, patients presenting with multiple gingival recessions were allocated into three groups based on the timing of suture removal post-surgery: 1 week (TSR1), 2 weeks (TSR2), and 3 weeks (TSR3). Primary outcomes measured included Percentage of Root Coverage (%RC) and Complete Root Coverage (CRC), among other clinical outcomes.

Background: Inflammatory periodontal disease caused by dental plaque is characterised by the clinical signs of inflammation and loss of periodontal tissue support. The mechanical removal of this biofilm and adjunctive use of antibacterial disinfectants and antibiotics have been the conventional methods of periodontal therapy. The possibility of the development of resistance to antibiotics by the target organism has led to the development of a new antimicrobial concept with fewer complications.
