The Effects Of Topically Applied Citric Acid On Periodontally Diseased Root Surfaces, John S. Garrett
The Effects Of Topically Applied Citric Acid On Periodontally Diseased Root Surfaces, John S. Garrett
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The goal of reconstructive periodontal therapy is new connective tissue attachment to periodontally diseased root surfaces. Recently Register (1973) and Register and Burdick (1975) have reported accelerated reattachment and cementogenesis when citric acid was applied to surgically created root surface defects. There are apparently no reports in the literature regarding the effects of citric acid on periodontally diseased root surfaces. This study was designed to determine the effects of topically applied citric acid on periodontally diseased root surfaces using the scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopes.
Twenty three human teeth, nineteen extracted because of periodontal disease and four bicuspids …
Gingival Condition In Areas Of Minimal And Appreciable Widths Of Keratinized Gingiva, Myles C. Miyasato
Gingival Condition In Areas Of Minimal And Appreciable Widths Of Keratinized Gingiva, Myles C. Miyasato
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This investigation evaluated the gingival condition of areas with minimal (less than or equal to 1.0 millimeter) and appreciable (greater than or equal to 2.0 millimeters) widths of keratinized gingiva.
Sixteen dental, dental hygiene, and dental assisting students and dental faculty who had contralateral or unilateral areas of minimal and appreciable widths of keratinized gingiva on the mid-buccal surface of mandibular bicuspids were examined. Gingival exudate, plaque, gingival inflammation based on color change and/or swelling and bleeding on probing were evaluated. The results showed that all areas examined were plaque free. Three of 32 areas showed clinical gingival inflammation and …
