Use Of Disclosing Tablets And Signs Of Gingival Bleeding For Improving The Oral Health And Oral Hygiene Status Of Adult Dental Clients, Susan Elaine Thompson
Use Of Disclosing Tablets And Signs Of Gingival Bleeding For Improving The Oral Health And Oral Hygiene Status Of Adult Dental Clients, Susan Elaine Thompson
Dental Hygiene Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this investigation was to compare two methods for improving the oral health and oral hygiene status of adult dental clients. Fifty subjects were selected and randomly assigned to two groups. Over a 75-day period, Group A used disclosing tablets on a daily basis to reveal dental plaque deposits to control dental disease; Group Bused signs of gingival bleeding on a daily basis to control dental disease. Clients attended four appointments for oral evaluation. The oral health and oral hygiene status of the adult dental clients were measured at each appointment using the Gingival Bleeding Index and the …
Changes Of The Marginal Periodontium As A Result Of Labial Tooth Movement In Monkeys, Gregory G. Steiner, J. K. Pearson, J. Ainamo
Changes Of The Marginal Periodontium As A Result Of Labial Tooth Movement In Monkeys, Gregory G. Steiner, J. K. Pearson, J. Ainamo
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Orthodontic tooth movement was performed on five monkeys (Macaca nemistrina). Oral health was established and exploratory surgery was performed to assess the level of the connective tissue attachment and marginal bone. Measurements of the gingival margin and mucogingival junction were taken and orthodontic forces were applied. The central incisors were moved labially a mean distance of 3.05mm. Post therapy measurements were performed to assess the change which occurred as a result of tooth movement. Significant recession of the gingival margin, connective tissue level and marginal bone was found when compared to an amalgam marker located on the facial surface of …
Evaluation Of New Attachment Following Full Thickness Flap Procedure In Humans, Shaunda S. Steiner
Evaluation Of New Attachment Following Full Thickness Flap Procedure In Humans, Shaunda S. Steiner
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A study was made to investigate the biological possibility of obtaining new connective tissue attachment to periodontally diseased root surfaces following full thickness flap procedure. Reconstructive surgery was performed on seven teeth involved in advanced chronic periodontal disease. A mucoperiosteal flap was raised and the apical extent of existing subgingival calculus was marked with a notch made into the root just apical to the calculus. Following thorough instrumentation, sterile saline was applied to the root surface for five minutes, and the flap was repositioned and sutured. Four months later the teeth with attached periodontal tissues were removed and processed for …
