Download or read book THE EFFICACY OF SCALING AND ROOT PLANING WITH SUBGINGIVAL APPLICATION OF POVIDONE IODINE IN THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE AMONG ADULT PATIENTS COMPARED TO SCALING AND ROOT PLANING ALONE written by Vladimir Flys and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The aim of this study was to research the efficacy of Povidone (PVP) Iodine as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in reducing periodontal pocket depth (PPD) compared to scaling and root planing with water, saline, or no rinse in the treatment of chronic periodontitis among adult patients. Material and methods: An electronic search of the databases PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source (DOSS) were performed from 2010 up to January 2022. A single reviewer identified and selected screened abstracts and titles for possible inclusion, and assessed randomized, controlled clinical trials comparing the additional benefit of PVP-Iodine in the treatment of chronic periodontitis in adult patients. A meta-analysis was conducted to analyze the eight studies included. Results: The pool effects for split mouth design and randomized control trials was significant in favoring the control group. A mean reduction of periodontal pocket depth (PPD) favoring the control group was observed, this reduction was 0.93 mm, (95% CI: 0.66-1.2) (p = 0.00, fig. 2a) for split mouth design studies and a reduction of 0.61 mm, (95% CI: 0.2-1.02) (p=0.004, fig. 2b) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). There was significant heterogeneity between the split mouth studies and RCTs, i2 = 89.7 and i2 = 83.9, respectively. The studies included administered different concentrations and irrigation frequencies of PVP-iodine, presented with different baseline pocket depths, and evaluated different teeth. Based on the studies included, there was no additional benefit of adjunct use of PVP-iodine with SRP in improving PPD reduction. Conclusion: The adjunctive use of PVP-iodine during scaling and root planing does not improvement pocket depth reduction. However, due to the high heterogeneity between studies more clinical trials should be conducted to evaluate PVP-iodine efficacy in deeper pockets.

Download or read book The Effects of Scaling and Root Planing on the Systemic Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 MMP 9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 TIMP 1 written by Khanh Vu Thuy Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) is required for normal wound healing. Chronic inflammation, such as that seen in cardiovascular and periodontal diseases, may upset this balance. The aim of this study was to determine whether initial periodontal therapy would have an effect systemically on the levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1. Twenty-one patients with generalized chronic periodontitis were enrolled in the study. Clinical examinations were conducted and parameters measured. Scaling and root planing was performed and blood analysis done to determine the plasma concentrations of MMP-9 and serum concentrations of TIMP-1. Initial periodontal therapy resulted in improvements in gingival inflammation and plaque levels. No effect on the plasma concentrations of MMP-9 and serum concentrations of TIMP-1 could be found following therapy.
Download or read book Endodontic Prognosis written by Nadia Chugal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-24 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as a clinical guide to help the practitioner improve endodontic treatment outcomes. It focuses on the various factors affecting the prognosis of endodontic treatments and on their impact on short-term and long-term results. The text incorporates up-to-date knowledge, techniques and treatment protocols. Each chapter has been carefully chosen to address either foundational knowledge or a select aspect of endodontic treatment. The authors analyze the knowledge accumulated from a large number of outcome studies and provide the reader with a critical appraisal indicating the strengths and weaknesses of those studies. This information is then used to make recommendations on how to predict the outcome of the intended treatment. The authors emphasize that the endodontic prognosis is a multifactorial phenomenon, underscoring how various factors, singularly and in combination, influence the treatment outcome. Readers are provided with tools to successfully assess the prognosis of the proposed treatment at the outset and to execute the planned treatment focused on optimal outcome.

Download or read book The Root Canal Biofilm written by Luis E. Chávez de Paz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the current state of research on the basic scientific aspects of root canal biofilm biology within a clinically applicable context. Root canal biofilms are complex polymicrobial structures adhering to the root canal surface that are formed by microorganisms invading the pulpal space of teeth, and are associated with persistent root canal infections. Concerted efforts to study root canal biofilms have been made in the past decade, resulting in the publication of observational and experimental studies that detail the morphology and biology of these structures in infected root canals. In addition to confirming that bacteria in root canals do not exist in free-floating planktonic states as previously assumed, this new information on root canal biofilm infections has provided an opportunity to re-evaluate conventional clinical protocols and improve endodontic therapeutic measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Streptococcal Infections: Clinical Aspects, Microbiology, and Molecular Pathogenesis offers an in-depth examination of the spectrum of hemolytic streptococcal infections and their complications. Additionally, the volume incorporates and discusses aspects of pneumococcal, entrococcal, and oral streptococcal disease. The recent resurgence of rheumatic fever, concomitant outbreaks of severe systemic group A streptococcal infections (often accompanied by toxic shock), an increasing incidence of multiple antibiotic resistance among streptococcal species, and an intensified effort to develop effective streptococcal vaccines have brought renewed attention to the continuing role of streptococci for causing significant medical and public health problems in both industrialized and developing countries. Addressing clinical and epidemiological aspects, and microbiological and other approaches of the research scientist, this volume is the first to comprehensively address these clinically important organisms in many years. The contributors are internationally recognized for their expertise, making this book invaluable for infectious disease physicians, (internists, pediatricians, and family physicians, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and basic scientists with an interest in streptococcal infections and their complications.
