Prevalence of Severe Periodontitis in a Colombian Adult Population

Objective: To determine the prevalence of severe chronic periodontitis in a crosssectional national sample of Colombian adults held by the Colombian Health Ministry. Methods: In 2014, a selected national sample, based on a multi-stage, stratifi ed method, received an oral examination. Periodontal data was collected on 9,821 adults aged 18- 79 years following a full-mouth examination. Pocket depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) served for extent and severity of disease description. Two systems for detection of severe periodontitis cases were used. The fi rst was the criteria for...

Evaluation of Adjunctive Use of Low-Level Diode Laser Biostimulation with Combined Orthodontic Regenerative Therapy
Evaluation of Adjunctive Use of Low-Level Diode Laser Biostimulation with Combined Orthodontic Regenerative Therapy

Background: The combined orthodontic regenerative therapy approach can greatly enhance periodontal conditions and dentofacial aesthetics in many situations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 940nm low-level diode laser biostimulation in enhancement of intrabony wound healing with combined orthodontic/regenerative therapy in chronic periodontitis subjects suffering from malocclusion. Methods: Fifteen chronic periodontitis adult patients with at least two intrabony...

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Strontium Chloride, Biodentine® and Biodentine® in Combination with Diode Laser in the Management of Dentinal Hypersensitivity- An In vitro SEM Study
Evaluation of the Efficacy of Strontium Chloride, Biodentine® and Biodentine® in Combination with Diode Laser in the Management of Dentinal Hypersensitivity- An In vitro SEM Study

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of strontium chloride, Biodentine® alone and Biodentine® in combination with diode laser in the management of dentinal hypersensitivity using scanning electron microscope. Materials and methods: This comparative in vitro, single blind study was carried out on 80 randomly selected extracted teeth. The selected 80 extracted teeth were categorized as: Group 1 - 20 teeth acid etched only; Group 2 - 20 teeth treated with strontium chloride; Group 3 - 20 teeth...

Comparison between Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft and De-epithelialized Gingival Graft: A systematic review and a meta-analysis
Comparison between Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft and De-epithelialized Gingival Graft: A systematic review and a meta-analysis

Aim: Sup-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and de-epithelialized gingival graft (DGG) approaches have been investigated with a focus on post-operative morbidity but not from a clinical outcome standpoint. The aim of this systematic review was to systematically investigate the literature for coronally advanced flaps (CAFs) combined with SCTG or DGG. Material and Methods: Electronic and hand searches were performed to identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the...
