Effect of Desensitizing Medications with and without Diode Laser Treatment on Dentin Permeability and Surface Morphology
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of desensitizing agents associated with a laser diode on dentin permeability and surface morphology. Methods: One hundred four bovine root dentin specimens were randomly divided into four groups and two subgroups (n = 13): G1A = no treatment (control), G1B = diode laser, G2A = Oxagel, G2B = diode laser + Oxagel, G3A = MI PasteTM, G3B = diode laser + MI PasteTM, G4A = Sensitive Pro-ReliefTM in-offi ce, G4B = diode laser + Sensitive Pro-ReliefTM in-offi ce. For permeability analysis, 10 specimens from each subgroup were immersed in 1% hydrochloric acid...

During the 9th European Workshop in Periodontology, the evidence base for the link between periodontal disease and systemic conditions was scrutinised. In response, the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) issued a manifesto that summarised these fi ndings. This article has critically evaluated the research published after the 9th European Workshop in Periodontology in November 2012 to ascertain whether recent research has affected the merit of the manifesto. It was found that recent...
Objective: This review was designed to explore the use of probiotics in prevention or treatment of periodontitis. Methods: A search was performed using MEDLINE and bibliographies from previous reviews in order to identify any randomised controlled animal and human probiotic interventions in periodontitis. Results: Five studies using probiotics in animal models of periodontitis and eight clinical studies using probiotics in patients with chronic periodontitis were analysed. The analysis of the...
There are various alternatives for correcting a gingival smile, ranging from techniques such as gingivectomy to more complex and invasive procedures such as orthognathic surgery. Gingival smile is one of the most common complaints of patients seeking an aesthetic smile. This article describes the alternative treatments available for lip repositioning and improving smile aesthetics, and presents the clinical course of a gingival smile patient after undergoing the surgical technique of...

A case of localized soft tissue growth located on the lingual aspect of the left mandibular gingiva is reported in a 61-year-old male patient in whom excisional biopsy of the lesion was performed. The histopathologic diagnosis was adenocarcinoma. Further clinical and biopsy examinations taken from several organs indicated the presence of metastatic adenocarcinomas in the brain, spleen, lymph nodes, and liver. The oral tumor recurred after repeated surgical removal. Based on histopathological...
