A Simplified Technique to Measure Plaque on the Intaglio Surfaces of Complete Dentures

Objective: The main aim of this study was to develop a simplified quantitative denture plaque index that could help dentists to motivate denture patients to maintain optimal oral hygiene. The secondary aim was to assess specific areas of dentures more prone to accumulate plaque and subjects’ oral hygiene habits related to their dentures. Methods: One hundred subjects who wore maxillary and/or mandibular complete dentures for at least one year were included in the study as a powered sample. Fifteen females and 85 males, age range 45-75 years, were recruited. The study was carried out at King...

Full Mouth Implant-supported Rehabilitation of a Patient with Ectodermal Dysplasia: Clinical Report and Literature Review
Full Mouth Implant-supported Rehabilitation of a Patient with Ectodermal Dysplasia: Clinical Report and Literature Review

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to present the clinical course of full mouth rehabilitation in an 18-year-old female patient with ectodermal dysplasia who was treated with implant-supported fixed partial dentures for the mandible and the maxilla. Case report: Fourteen dental implants (8 in the maxilla and 6 in the mandible) were placed simultaneously after full mouth extraction and alveoloplasty surgery. After 6 months of healing, prosthetic rehabilitation was started for...

Efficacy of Subgingivally Delivered Satranidazole in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Subjects with Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Efficacy of Subgingivally Delivered Satranidazole in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Subjects with Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Background: The present clinical trial was designed to investigate the effectiveness of subgingivally delivered satranidazole (SZ) gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Methods: Sixty-four subjects with probing depth (PD) ≥ 5 mm and who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were selected. Thirty-two subjects each were randomly assigned to SRP + placebo (Group 1) and SRP + SZ (Group 2). The clinical outcomes evaluated were plaque index...

Subgingival Microbial and Inflammatory Cell Morphotypes Associated with Chronic Periodontitis Progression in Treated Adults
Subgingival Microbial and Inflammatory Cell Morphotypes Associated with Chronic Periodontitis Progression in Treated Adults

Objective: In a secondary data analysis, this pilot study evaluated the relationship between subgingival biofilm morphotypes and chronic periodontitis progression in treated adults. Methods: Periodontal parameters in 47 adults with chronic periodontitis were assessed by a calibrated examiner at baseline and a mean 4.5 years after a non-surgical periodontal therapy regimen. Microbial and inflammatory cell morphotypes in subgingival biofilm specimens from each patient were evaluated with...
