Department of Periodonology, Endodontology and Cariology, University Centre for Dental Medicine, University of Basel.
Karius and Baktus, first published in 1949, is one of the most influential storybooks with dental caries as main theme and it remains in wide use for domestic health education. This study aimed at assessing oral health related contents of the historic storybook in the light of the current body of cariologic evidence. Two investigators independently identified phrases in the storybook with cariologically relevant content.

Article Synopsis
- - Periodontal health is characterized by no detectable inflammation, and can exist in both healthy and treated periodontitis patients, with a clear distinction between intact and reduced periodontium.
- - There are two main types of gingival diseases: non-dental plaque biofilm-induced diseases, which don't resolve with plaque removal, and dental plaque-induced gingivitis, which can be influenced by both local and systemic factors.
- - Even treated periodontitis patients can experience a heightened risk of recurrent disease, making it essential for ongoing monitoring and risk assessment to prevent further complications.

Article Synopsis
- - Periodontal health is characterized by the absence of visible inflammation and can occur in healthy gums as well as in patients who have had past gum disease but are now stable; however, those with a history of periodontitis are at risk for recurrence and need ongoing monitoring.
- - Gingival diseases are categorized into two main types: non-dental plaque biofilm-induced diseases, which are not caused by plaque and usually don't improve with plaque removal, and dental plaque-induced gingivitis, which is influenced by both local and systemic factors.
- - Effective management of gingival health involves identifying and addressing both types of gingival diseases and requires regular assessments, particularly for individuals with a history of periodontal disease to prevent potential relapse.
Traditional or regenerative periodontal surgery?-a comparison of the publications between two periodontal journals over time.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2018
Department of Periodontology, Endodontology and Cariology, University Centre for Dental Medicine, University of Basel, Hebelstrasse 3, 4056, Basel, Switzerland.
Objectives: The objective is to compare the amount and content of publications regarding traditional or regenerative periodontal surgery in the years 1982/1983 and 2012/2013 in two leading periodontal journals of North America and Europe.
Material And Methods: The search was carried out in the Journal of Periodontology and Journal of Clinical Periodontology. Four reviewers screened the articles and allocated the topics with respect to periodontal surgery.
Evaluation of the accuracy of nine electronic apex locators by using Micro-CT.

February 2018
Division of Endodontology, Department of Conservative Dentistry, School of Dental Medicine, University of Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany.
Aim: To determine the accuracy of locating the apical constriction using apex locators.
Methodology: Extracted teeth were micro-CT scanned preoperatively to localize the apical constriction. Electronic length measurements of 91 root canals were made using nine electronic apex locators (EAL) connected to a mounting model.
Microguided Endodontics: a method to achieve minimally invasive access cavity preparation and root canal location in mandibular incisors using a novel computer-guided technique.

Department of Operative Dentistry and Periodontology, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany.
Aim: To present a novel miniaturized and minimally invasive treatment approach for root canal localization in mandibular incisors with pulp canal calcification and apical periodontitis.
Summary: A 51-year-old male patient presented with pain from his mandibular incisors. The patient had a history of severe dental trauma over 30 years ago.
Corticotomy affects both the modus and magnitude of orthodontic tooth movement.

January 2018
Section of Orthodontics, Department of Odontology, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Objective: To analyze whether the decreased bone density due to the manipulation of bone remodeling rate has an influence on the type of the planned tooth movement.
Materials And Methods: A finite element model of a lower incisor has been developed. The density of the alveolar bone surrounding the tooth has been assumed to simulate the one occurring after corticotomy to increase tooth movement rate.
Microguided Endodontics: Accuracy of a Miniaturized Technique for Apically Extended Access Cavity Preparation in Anterior Teeth.

Department of Operative Dentistry and Periodontology, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of guided endodontics in mandibular anterior teeth by using miniaturized instruments. This technique is designed to treat teeth with pulp canal calcifications and narrow roots by using a printed template that guides a bur to the calcified root canal.
Methods: Sixty sound mandibular anterior teeth were used in 10 mandibular models.
Presence of root canal treatment has no influence on periodontal bone loss.

Department of Periodontology Endodontology and Cariology, University Centre for Dental Medicine, University of Basel, Hebelstrasse 3, CH-4056, Basel, Switzerland.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the interproximal bone level at root canal-filled teeth and non-root canal-filled teeth.
Materials And Methods: The records of patients from the department were consecutively screened from January 2009 to October 2011. The distance between the coronal reference point to the alveolar bone crest (AC) was assessed at the mesial and distal aspects of root canal-filled teeth (RCF+) and their contralateral non-root canal-filled teeth (RCF-) on periapical radiographs.
Efficacy of various side-to-side toothbrushes and impact of brushing parameters on noncontact biofilm removal in an interdental space model.

June 2017
Department of Periodontology, Endodontology, and Cariology, University Centre for Dental Medicine, University of Basel, Hebelstrasse 3, 4056, Basel, Switzerland.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of four different side-to-side toothbrushes and the impact of various brushing parameters on noncontact biofilm removal in an adjustable interdental space model.
Materials And Methods: A three-species biofilm, consisting of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Streptococcus sanguinis, was formed in vitro on protein-coated titanium disks using a flow chamber combined with a static biofilm growth model. Subsequently, the biofilm-coated disks were exposed to four different powered toothbrushes (A, B, C, D).
Excess cement and the risk of peri-implant disease - a systematic review.

October 2017
Department of Periodontology, Endodontology and Cariology, University Centre for Dental Medicine, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the role of excess cement as risk indicator for peri-implant diseases.
Material And Methods: A systematic literature search with the keywords peri-implant disease, peri-implant mucositis, peri-implantitis, excess cement, cemented, and screw-retained restorations was performed for articles published by June 2016 using MEDLINE and EMBASE electronic databases, complemented by hand searching.
Results: The included 26 publications referring to 21 study groups were published between 1999 and 2016 and comprised 945 subjects with 1010 cemented implant restorations in 10 prospective and eight retrospective studies and eight case reports/series with pronounced heterogeneity of the study designs.
Do periapical and periodontal pathologies affect Schneiderian membrane appearance? Systematic review of studies using cone-beam computed tomography.
Clin Oral Investig
June 2017
Department of Periodontology, Endodontology and Cariology, University Centre for Dental Medicine, University of Basel, Hebelstrasse 3, CH-4056, Basel, Switzerland.
Objectives: This systematic review analyzed the relationship between periapical and periodontal pathologies in the posterior maxilla and the appearance of the Schneiderian membrane in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) compared with sound dentitions.
Methods: Five electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, OpenGrey, PubMed, Web of Science), complemented by hand searching, were screened up to May 9, 2016. Human clinical studies that used CBCT and contained information on the periapical/periodontal status in the posterior maxilla and Schneiderian membrane appearance were included.
