Tooth Loss Assessment during Periodontal Maintenance in Erratic versus Complete Compliance in a Periodontal Private Practice in Shiraz, Iran: A 10-Year Retrospective Study

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of periodontal maintenance (PM), but there are conflicting data regarding tooth loss following patient compliance. Method: Seventy-two periodontal patients (52 women, 20 men), 86% of whom had been diagnosed with chronic moderate to severe periodontitis, were included in this retrospective study. Clinical variables such as tooth loss, bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index and probing depth were collected from patients after 10 years of PM. The periodontal status of regular compliers (RCs) and erratic compliers (ECs) were compared...

Treatment of Amalgam Tattoo with a Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft and Acellular Dermal Matrix
Treatment of Amalgam Tattoo with a Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft and Acellular Dermal Matrix

A 54-year-old female was referred for management of a large amalgam tattoo involving the alveolar mucosa between teeth #6 and #9. The lesion had been present for over 20 years following endodontic treatment of teeth #7 and #8. A two-stage surgical approach was used to remove the pigmentation, beginning with removal of amalgam fragments from the underlying bone and placement of a subepithelial connective tissue graft and acellular dermal matrix to increase soft tissue thickness subadjacent to...

Gingival Crevicular Fluid Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Release Profile Following the Use of Modified Perforated Membrane Barriers in Localized Intrabony Defects: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Gingival Crevicular Fluid Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Release Profile Following the Use of Modified Perforated Membrane Barriers in Localized Intrabony Defects: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: In guided tissue regenerative surgery, membrane perforations may serve as a mechanism for the passage of cells and biologic mediators from the periosteum and overlying gingival connective tissue into the periodontal defects. To test this assumption, this study was designed to evaluate levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during the early stages of healing for sites treated with modified perforated membranes (MPMs) as compared with...

Zucchelli’s Technique or Tunnel Technique with Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft for Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions
Zucchelli’s Technique or Tunnel Technique with Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft for Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions

Background: Gingival recession is both unpleasant and unesthetic. Meeting the esthetic and functional demands of patients with multiple gingival recessions remains a major therapeutic challenge. We compared the clinical effectiveness of Zucchelli’s technique and tunnel technique with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SECTG) for multiple gingival recessions. Methods: Twenty systemically and periodontally healthy subjects having 75 recession defects (Miller’s class I or II, 39 test...
