Association of periodontitis and psoriasis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Psoriasis and periodontitis are chronic inflammatory diseases with shared etiopathogenic aspects and risk factors. This systematic review (SR) aims to assess the impact of periodontitis on the risk of psoriasis. Methods: Prospective and retrospective studies were included in this review. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS databases were searched up to Feb 2021. Odds ratio (OR) and standard error (SE) values of the studied groups were converted to LogOR, and the results of individual studies were grouped using a fixed-effects model. A modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa (NOS)...

Background: Trappin-2 is a potent serine protease inhibitor produced locally by the epithelial and immune cells. It counters proteases like gingipain. This interaction in the crevicular environment is still unexplored. Thus, this novel study aims to investigate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of gingipain and trappin-2 in periodontal health and disease. Methods: GCF was collected from 60 systemically healthy non-smoking individuals. Periodontal parameters were recorded, and they...
Aim: Evaluate the action of 24% EDTA at different times application in root samples of human teeth. Methods: Root samples of human teeth obtained from the university Tooth Bank were divided into control, GI (treated with EDTA 24% for 1 minute), GII (treated with EDTA 24% for 2 minutes intermittently), GIII (treated with EDTA 24% for 2 minutes continuously). Dentin surfaces are assessed and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemically by energy dispersive spectroscopy...
Aim: The aim of the present study was to clinically and radiographically compare and evaluate the NIPSA and EPP techniques in the treatment of intrabony defects. Patients and methods: 44 individuals satisfying the inclusion criteria were selected. Clinical parameters included the recording of pocket probing depths (PPD), clinical attachment levels (CAL) and papilla loss. The evaluation of bone fill was performed at the end of 3& 6-months by using Image J® software. Results: NIPSA and...
Aim: The aim of this study was to clinically evaluate the regenerative potential of rhFGF- 2 impregnated collagen membranes in sites with multiple gingival recession defects. Methodology: One site in each subject was randomly assigned into each of the following experimental groups; Test (FGF-2)(n=20) and control groups(C)(n=20) wherein, gingival recession defects were treated with rhFGF-2 impregnated collagen scaffolds and plain absorbable collagen scaffolds respectively. Outcomes recorded...

Aim: Human histologic evidence for the healed socket with socket shield has not yet been available. This clinical report aims to provide histological data of socket with socket shield and grafted with non-demineralized autologous tooth dentin graft 16 weeks after the first surgery. Materials and Methods: A socket shield with adjacent hard tissue was retrieved using a hollow trephine four months after the socket shield preparation and socket grafting with non-demineralized dentin autograft....
Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is described as an inflammatory or inflammation-promoted metabolic derangement. Numerous studies demonstrate that elimination of inflammation favorably affects endocrinological parameters in T2DM. Therapy of periodontitis reduces infections of causative microorganisms and eliminates inflammation, preserving successfully treated periodontia and last but not least patients’ teeth. Biofilms are reduced in quantity and influenced in composition. All facilitated...
Aim: The study aimed to qualitatively evaluate the somatosensory profile in the recipient and palatal donor sites after root coverage by subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG). Materials and Methods: This preliminary observational case-control study included patients submitted to SCTG, after 6 months postoperatively (case-G6, palate and recipient sites), homologous non operated areas were selected for directly comparison (HNO site), and a complementary group that was not submitted to...
Introduction: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign osteoblastic tumor which constitutes about 3% of all the primary bone tumors, about 10% of all the osseous benign tumors. Only 1% of the cases occur in the jaws. The present case reports a painless osteoid osteoma, which is a rarity. Case presentation: A 35 year old male patient reported with a bony hard swelling on anterior part of hard palate. Radiograph showed a small radiopacity along the root of maxillary right central incisor. A...
Aim: To evaluate the dimensional changes after alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) with flapless and flapped techniques, using demineralized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and a collagen matrix (CM) intentionally left exposed. Materials and methods: In this case series, randomly selected patients were divided into one of two surgical approaches, Group 1 (G1): ARP flapless and Group 2 (G2): ARP flapped. Clinical and cone beam computed tomography assessments were performed at 1 week, 4 and 24 months...
