Periodontitis Associated with Chediak-Higashi Syndrome in a Young African American Male
Periodontitis Associated with Chediak-Higashi Syndrome in a Young African American Male

Background: Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease. The primary defect is abnormal granule formation in the cells secondary to a mutation of a lysosomal trafficking regulator protein. CHS patients have immune system abnormalities, bleeding abnormalities, and multiple infections including periodontitis. Methods: A 13-year-old African American male presented with severe gingival inflammation, generalized gingival bleeding, and tooth looseness....

A Two-Stage Approach Using an Autogenous Masticatory Mucosal Graft and an Autogenous Connective Tissue Graft to Treat Gingival Recession: A Case Report
A Two-Stage Approach Using an Autogenous Masticatory Mucosal Graft and an Autogenous Connective Tissue Graft to Treat Gingival Recession: A Case Report

Various methods have been suggested to cover a denuded root. However, this is especially difficult in the lower molar area when root recession has the additional complication of an inadequate zone of attached gingiva in association with frenal attachment. This case report indicates that a lower molar with Miller Class III gingival recession associated with frenal attachment can be successfully treated by a two-step procedure with an autogenous masticatory mucosal graft and a connective...

Experimental Gingivitis in Male Khat (Catha edulis) Chewers
Experimental Gingivitis in Male Khat (Catha edulis) Chewers

Whether or not khat chewing is detrimental to the periodontium remains uncertain. Findings from cross-sectional studies have been contradictory and, in most cases, uncontrolled for confounders. Objectives: to experimentally test the effect of khat chewing on formation of dental plaque and development of gingivitis. Methods: This was a split-mouth, parallel-group, 20-day experimental gingivitis study involving non-smoking, young, male khat chewers (n = 8) and non-chewers (n = 9). Measurements...

Osseous Grafting Part II: Xenografts and Alloplasts for Periodontal Regeneration - A Literature Review
Osseous Grafting Part II: Xenografts and Alloplasts for Periodontal Regeneration - A Literature Review

Osseous grafting represents one mode of therapy to manage periodontal osseous defects. Materials for osseous grafting can be obtained from the same person (autografts), from a different person of the same species (allografts), from a different species (xenografts), or from synthetic materials (alloplasts). The two types of grafts most frequently used in periodontal therapy are autogenous grafts and allografts. Both types can be obtained either intraorally or extraorally. They may be...
