1/2. Comprehensive treatment concept in a young adult patient with severe periodontal disease: a case report.This case report describes the comprehensive treatment of generalized, advanced periodontal disease in a young patient. In view of the necessary reconstruction, the extensive destruction of the periodontal tissues required a systematic approach to determine the possibilities and the expectations of the patient. The subsequent oral rehabilitation was accomplished with fixed prosthodontics. In the mandible, strategically important anchor teeth were replaced with implants, allowing smaller units to be inserted. The long-term treatment result, however, can only be ensured with the full cooperation of the patient and consistent periodontal maintenance care.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Rare and abnormal massive dental calculus deposit: an investigative report.An unprecedented case is presented involving a massive calculus buildup on the mandibular incisors. The clinical and radiographic findings were reviewed, probable causes were investigated, and results were outlined and discussed. The composition, origin, and formation of dental calculus and its interrelationship with dental plaque and saliva were highlighted. The role of dental calculus in the pathogenicity of periodontal diseases, in view of epidemiological data, research, and clinical study findings, is discussed. Both the case management and the benefit of total calculus removal for resolving periodontal disease are underlined.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
