Effect of periodontal dressing on nonâ surgical periodontal treatment outcomes: a systematic review

BackgroundPeriodontal dressing has been advocated and showed some positive outcomes for placing over the surgical site after periodontal surgery. However, little is known about its effect on nonâ surgical therapy.PurposeThe aim of this review was to assess the clinical effect of periodontal dressing when used after nonâ surgical therapy.Material and methodsTwo examiners performed an electronic search in several databases for relevant articles published in English up to November 2013. Selected studies were randomized human clinical trials (prospective or retrospective trials) with the clear aim of investigating the effect of periodontal dressing placement upon periodontal nonâ surgical mechanical therapy. Data were extracted from the included articles for analysis.ResultsThree randomized clinical trials fulfilled the inclusion criteria and thus were included in the data analysis. Statistical analysis could not be carried out due to the lack of clear data of the included studies. However, descriptive analysis showed its effectiveness in improving clinical parameters such as gain of clinical attachment level and reduction of probing pocket depth.ConclusionPlacement of periodontal dressing right after nonâ surgical mechanical therapy can be beneficial in improving overall shortâ term clinical outcomes, although more controlled studies are still needed to validate this finding.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/122435/1/idh12130.pd

Estudio descriptivo de 21 casos de mucocele de la cavidad bucal

Se ha analizado la distribución por sexos, edad, resultado histológico, localización, profundidad, tamaño, síntomas, tiempo de evolución, factores etiológicos y tratamiento quirúrgico en 21 pacientes con mucocele de la cavidad bucal. Había 19 (90,5%) mucoceles por extravasación y dos (9,5%), por retención. La localización más frecuente fue el tercio lateral del labio inferior (38,1%). El 52,4% de los mucoceles no se asociaba a ningún factor etiológico evidente. En todos los casos, se practicó exéresis quirúrgica con bisturí convencio­nal. No se ha detectado ninguna recidiva después de un seguimiento mínimo de 12 meses. Se comen­tan los tratamientos alternativos, como la criocirugía y el láser de C02

Mechanical, histological and histomorphometric evaluation of modified by femtosecond laser zirconia implants versus titanium implants. An experimental study in dogs at three months

Aim The present study was aimed at quantifying implant´s stability and elemental composition by Periotest® and evaluating bone to implant contact (BIC) and crestal bone loss of modified by femtosecond laser zirconia and titanium implants.Materials and methods Forty-eight implants were divided into 2 groups: titanium (control) and modified by femtosecond laser zirconia (test) and then inserted in 6 American Foxhound dogs. Primary stability and secondary stability were measured by Periotest, BIC was evaluated by histomorphometry at 1 and 3 months, elemental composition of the surrounding bone in both groups after 1 and 3 months was assessed.Results Differences between groups regarding primary stability and secondary stability were not significant (p>0.05). The Carbon ratio at zirconia (12.529%) was significantly lower (p0.05) regarding BIC for titanium vs modified zirconia were observed. Crestal bone loss at 3 months was significantly (p<0.05) lower (0.07 ±0.34 mm) in titanium group than in zirconia (1.25 ± 1.73 mm).Conclusion Surface treatment by using femtosecond laser equalizes osseointegration of zirconia implants
