International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of smoking cessation interventions on periodontal outcomes in individuals who have successfully abstained from smoking for a minimum of six months following non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Methods: A total of 122 participants, based on inclusion & exclusion criteria, were divided into a smoking cessation group (n=61) and a control group (n=61). Demographic characteristics, smoking history, and baseline oral health parameters were assessed in these patients. Over a 2-year follow-up period, changes in probing depth and alveolar bone loss were measured, statistically analysis were performed using SPSS software.

Multiple Implant Placements With Simultaneous Soft Tissue Augmentation Using A Volume-Stable Collagen Matrix Compared To Autogenous Connective Tissue Graft: A Clinical And Histological Pilot Study, Jamil Boulos, Abdel-Rahman Kassir, Gabriel Menassa, Nada Naaman

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Introduction: The use of soft tissue grafts has been a key component in periodontal and implant surgeries for the past five decades, aiming to increase the width of keratinized tissue and soft tissue volume.

Objectives: This study evaluates the efficacy of a three-dimensional volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX) compared to subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) in increasing soft tissue thickness and volume during multiple implant placements.

Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted with four patients and eight implants. Patients were allocated to the SCTG or VCMX group, with soft tissue augmentation performed simultaneously with implant placement. …

Patient-Related And Tooth-Related Factors As Predictors For Tooth Loss In Periodontitis Patients: A Systematic Review, Cleane Daraze, Carole Chakar, Abdelrahman Kassir, Charbel Anka, Jean-Marie Megarbane

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Introduction: The treatment of periodontitis aims to prevent further disease progression, to minimize symptoms and perception of the disease, possibly to restore lost tissues and to support patients in maintaining a healthy periodontium. Management of chronic periodontal disease requires a combination of therapeutic modalities and a lifelong commitment to periodontal self-care.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate predictors for tooth loss in patients previously diagnosed with periodontitis. This systematic review covers studies of over 10 years of follow up.

Methods: Electronic literature search was conducted on 19/02/2024 by one author across several databases, including …

Subgingival Microbiomes Of Healthy And Periodontitis Subjects, Tareq Abdulrasoul

Theses and Dissertations

Background: Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease triggered by the dysbiosis of the subgingival microbiome. 16s rRNA sequencing has been used to profile the subgingival plaque samples in healthy and periodontitis subjects. Here, we have collected subgingival plaque samples from subjects and analyzed the microbiome profile from 16s rRNA sequencing. We hypothesized that periodontitis patients will have a different subgingival microbiome profile than that of healthy subjects.

Methods: Subgingival plaque samples were collected from periodontitis and healthy subjects who were indicated for periodontal surgeries (osseous resective and regenerative surgery for periodontitis patients or crown lengthening for healthy …

Dental Management Of A Talon Cusp On A Permanent Incisor In Traumatic Occlusion, Bret Lesavoy Dmd, Richard Yoon D.D.S.

The New York State Dental Journal

The purpose of this paper is to report the case of an 8-year-old female with occlusal interferences involving the permanent maxillary right central incisor (PMRCI) due to a Type 1 dens evaginatus, also known as a talon cusp (TC), causing displacement of the affected tooth. Clinical concerns related to TCs include occlusal interferences and increased risk for dental injury, displacement of the affected tooth, caries, tongue irritation and esthetic concerns. The TC in this report was reduced periodically over two months. Following each reduction, 5% topical sodium fluoride varnish was applied as a desensitizing agent. Upon completion and removal of …

Diversity And Characteristics Of The Oral Microbiome Associated With Self-Reported Ancestral/Ethnic Groups, Qingguo Wang, Bing-Yan Wang, She'neka Williams, Hua Xie

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Periodontitis disproportionately affects genetic ancestral/ethnic groups. To characterize the oral microbiome from different genetic ancestral/ethnic groups, we collected 161 dental plaque samples from self-identified African Americans (AAs), Caucasian Americans (CAs), and Hispanic Americans (HAs) with clinical gingival health or biofilm-induced gingivitis on an intact periodontium. DNA was extracted from these samples, and then DNA libraries were prepared and sequenced using an Illumina NovaSeq high-throughput sequencer. We found significant differences in the diversity and abundance of microbial taxa among dental plaque samples of the AA, CA, and HA groups. We also identified unique microbial species in a self-reported ancestral/ethnic group. Moreover, …

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Objective: This study determined the effects of vibrational forces on bone formation in the retention period of an expanded mid-palatal, histomorphometric suture in a rat model. Methods: Twenty-four 7–8- to 8-week-old male Wistar rats weighing 190.25 ± 15.35 g were separated into groups: only expansion (G1), expansion and 30 Hz vibration application (G2), and expansion and 111 Hz vibration application (G3). After 5 days of expansion, there were 12 days of retention. All animals were sacrificed, and their premaxilla were dissected. A histological examination evaluated the number of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and capillaries, the amount of mineralized area, and …

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Case report: This case report presents three successful approaches for preserving a tooth through root amputation or hemisection. Patients were referred to the Periodontic Department due to mobility of teeth and swelling of the upper left first molar, upper right first molar and lower right first molar with considerably good oral hygiene. Patients were diagnosed with generalized severe periodontitis associated with perio-endodontic lesions. Therefore, non-surgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) was carried out prior to periodontal treatment, followed by surgical root resection (RR) of the distobuccal (DB) root of the upper left first molar, root resection of the distobuccal (DB) root …

Objective: The acidic pH of remineralizing agents is beneficial in etching the enamel to facilitate increased remineralization. This study aims to modify the pH of Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium phosphate to acidic and evaluate the enamel surface microhardness exposed to acidified CPP ACPF, acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF gel), and conventional CPP ACPF. Methods: The pH of conventional CPP ACPF (GC Tooth Mousse) is acidified. 24 tooth samples were assigned into three groups receiving as follows: Group 1 (n = 8) acidified CPP ACPF, Group 2 (n = 8) APF gel, and Group 3 (n = 8) CPP ACPF for four …

Esthetic Management Of Maxillary Anteriors With Complicated And Uncomplicated Fractures Using Different Fragment Reattachment Approaches, Lavanya A, Rajendra Kumar Tewari, Sharique Alam

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Appropriate management of anterior tooth fracture restores the function and aesthetics and provides a positive psychological impact for the patient. One of the most conservative approaches for such a restoration is reattachment; if a fracture fragment remains attached to the tooth and is available, as in young patients, immediate reporting helps preserve the vitality and long-term defense mechanism. Objective: This case report provides two cases with varied approaches for the management of complicated and uncomplicated crown fractures using reattachment procedures. Case report: During the clinical examination, the first case described the management of an uncomplicated fracture using the …
