Histologic Probe Position In Treated And Untreated Human Periodontal Tissues, Clifford Fowler
Histologic Probe Position In Treated And Untreated Human Periodontal Tissues, Clifford Fowler
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This study was designed to histologically determine the relationship of the periodontal probe tip to the periodontal tissues during probing of untreated periodontal pockets and periodontal pockets treated with oral hygiene and root planing. Human, condemned, single rooted teeth with buccal probing pocket depth at least 6 mm were used. Two groups of specimens were included; 12 untreated teeth from 6 patients and 15 treated teeth from 10 patients.
In the treated group, the effects of therapy were monitored clinically every two weeks until maximum improvement had taken place. A periodontal probe tip was then inserted on the buccal aspect …
The Effect Of Mechanical Plaque Control On The Clinical Parameters Of Human Periodontal Disease, John F. Cercek Jr.
The Effect Of Mechanical Plaque Control On The Clinical Parameters Of Human Periodontal Disease, John F. Cercek Jr.
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the degree of healing which takes place in the periodontal tissues as a result of supragingival and subsequent subgingival plaque control attempts without any associated supra- or subgingival instrumentation and root planing.
Seven patients with moderate to severe periodontitis were finally selected for the study. Measurements were made on maxillary and mandibular incisors, cuspids and premolars to establish base line plaque scores, bleeding scores, probing pocket depths, and probing attachment levels. The patients were then instructed in the use of toothbrushes, dental floss and interdental brushes where indicated. Measurements were repeated at …

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Four periodontal parameters were examined to determine the effect of rapid and slow palatal expansion techniques on the supporting structures at the buccal aspect of the maxillary first permanent molars. The parameters examined included the levels of crestal alveolar bone and soft tissue attachment (relative to the cemento-enamel junction), the depth of the gingival sulcus, and the height of the attached gingiva. The area between the buccal roots was inspected for possible furcation involvement. Twenty-eight patients had experienced a rapid technique utilizing a tissue-born, fixed, split-acrylic appliance, while thirty-three patients had been treated with the quad-helix appliance associated with slow …
