Diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of peri-implant diseases and maintenance care of patients with dental implants - Consensus report of working group 3

The following consensus report is based on four background reviews. The frequency of maintenance visits is based on patient risk indicators, homecare compliance and prosthetic design. Generally, a 6-month visit interval or shorter is preferred. At these visits, peri-implant probing, assessment of bleeding on probing and, if warranted, a radiographic examination is performed. Diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis requires: (i) bleeding or suppuration on gentle probing with or without increased probing depth compared with previous examinations; and (ii) no bone loss beyond crestal bone level changes resulting from initial bone remodelling. Diagnosis of peri-implantitis requires: (i) bleeding and/or suppuration on gentle probing; (ii) an increased probing depth compared with previous examinations; and (iii) bone loss beyond crestal bone level changes resulting from initial bone remodelling. If diagnosis of disease is established, the inflammation should be resolved. Non-surgical therapy is always the first choice. Access and motivation for optimal oral hygiene are key. The patient should have a course of mechanical therapy and, if a smoker, be encouraged not to smoke. Non-surgical mechanical therapy and oral hygiene reinforcement are useful in treating peri-implant mucositis. Power-driven subgingival air-polishing devices, Er: YAG lasers, metal curettes or ultrasonic curettes with or without plastic sleeves can be used to treat peri-implantitis. Such treatment usually provides clinical improvements such as reduced bleeding tendency, and in some cases a pocket-depth reduction of --1 mm. In advanced cases, however, complete resolution of the disease is unlikely.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/151295/1/idj12490_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/151295/2/idj12490.pd

Luke\u27s first eschatological discourse: Form, function and contextual integration of Luke 12:1-13:9

This study employs narrative and rhetorical criticism in addition to the standard historical-critical methods to address one section of Luke\u27s extensive account of Jesus\u27 final journey to Jerusalem. A satisfying explanation of the kerygmatic function of this evangelist\u27s unusually lengthy account of Jesus\u27 last journey has never been presented. The portion of the journey under close examination, Luke 12:1-13:9, is shown to have been carefully integrated into an eschatological discourse. Comparison of this section with two later eschatological discourses in the journey account demonstrates that all three discourses were edited in light of one another. Analysis of the contents of this series of discourses suggests that the writer presented a progressive disclosure of Jesus\u27 teachings about eschatological matters in a serial fashion. Each of the discourses is distinguished by its emphasis on certain aspects of eschatology, but one may also recognize a progressively more explicit instruction through the course of the series on themes which all three discourses address in common. The impression of a systematic thematic development in the gospel is bolstered by the recognition that the discourses are found at regular intervals in the gospel. This led to the question of whether the entire journey account gives evidence of a similar structuring pattern, based on a series of themes which are introduced, and developed further when they are revisited. A preliminary survey of the entire journey account suggested that such a line of inquiry was well warranted, and provided a number of observations of thematic patterns which call for more detailed study. A review of Luke\u27s redactional devices which provide narrative continuity intimated that the evangelist\u27s practice of arranging his sources into thematic groupings or patterns was not limited to the journey account, but was conferred upon his account of Jesus\u27 Galilean ministry as well. These observations compelled the conclusion that future commentaries on the Gospel of Luke must include narrative-critical and rhetorical-critical perspectives if they intend to fully disclose its kerygmatic content
