Clinical and Microbiological Effects of Levofloxacin in the Treatment of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-associated Periodontitis: A Randomized Placebo- Controlled Clinical Trial

Aim: To evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of systemic levofloxacin (LFX) in subjects with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-associated chronic periodontitis (AA-ACP). Materials and methods: Subjects with severe periodontitis with subgingival detection of A. actinomycetemcomitans were randomly divided into two treatment groups; a test group (n = 35) that received scaling and root planing (SRP) and LFX (500 mg o.d.) and a control group (n = 34) that received SRP and placebo (o.d.) for 10 days. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), percent of sites with bleeding on...

Efficacy of Platelet-rich Fibrin vs. Enamel Matrix Derivative in the Treatment of Periodontal Intrabony Defects: A Clinical and Cone Beam Computed Tomography Study
Efficacy of Platelet-rich Fibrin vs. Enamel Matrix Derivative in the Treatment of Periodontal Intrabony Defects: A Clinical and Cone Beam Computed Tomography Study

Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with enamel matrix derivative (EMD; Emdogain®) in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis, six months after surgery. Methods: Forty-four (44) intrabony defects in 30 patients (15 males) were randomly allocated into two treatment groups: EMD (n = 22) and PRF (n = 22). Measurement of the defects was done using clinical and cone beam computed tomography at baseline and 6...

Recovery of Putative Periodontal Pathogens from Curette Sampling at Different Depths of Periodontal Lesions: An In Vivo Cross- Sectional Clinical Study
Recovery of Putative Periodontal Pathogens from Curette Sampling at Different Depths of Periodontal Lesions: An In Vivo Cross- Sectional Clinical Study

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the depth of curette sample collection from periodontal lesions on the recovery of putative periodontal pathogens using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods: Twenty-two periodontal pockets 6 to 8 mm deep with bleeding on probing at a single-rooted tooth were sampled, yielding 66 separate samples. Curette samples were obtained at three different levels of the periodontal lesion (orifice, shallow - 2 mm into the...
