1/9. guided tissue regeneration procedure applied to the treatment of endodontic-periodontal disease: analysis of a case.The clinical condition of a patient with chronic adult-type periodontal disease, as well as gingival recession reaching the tooth apex on a mandibular lateral incisor, is discussed. Because the use of conventional techniques would have resulted in tooth loss, the guided tissue regeneration procedure was applied, with successful results.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/9. Surgical solutions to periodontal complications of orthodontic therapy.Collaboration of various specialists has become essential in pediatric dental practice. In orthodontics, this collaboration is completely necessary when the patient presents periodontal problems. Even in healthy patients, who do not suffer from periodontal disease, periodontal complications may occur during treatment with fixed appliances. Two cases of young patients, in which periodontal procedures were used to complement the results of orthodontic treatment are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/9. Traumatic lesions of the gingiva: a case series.BACKGROUND: The most recent classification of periodontal diseases includes a new section on traumatic gingival lesions. Traumatic lesions of the gingiva are thought to be highly prevalent, yet the periodontal literature contains few references on the topic. The purpose of this article is to present a broad spectrum of traumatic gingival lesions of iatrogenic, accidental, and factitious origin. methods: Twelve clinical cases were selected to document chemical (due to aspirin, snuff, and peroxide), physical (due to malocclusion, flossing, removable partial denture, oral piercing, and self-inflicted trauma), and thermal (due to overheated ultrasonic scaler, hot food, and ice) injury to the gingiva. RESULTS: Chemical, physical, and thermal gingival injuries of iatrogenic, accidental, or factitious origin can have a variety of presentations with overlapping clinical features. Although the appearance and associated symptoms of a gingival lesion may be suggestive of a particular traumatic etiology, useful or confirmatory diagnostic information is often discovered through careful history-taking. The management of gingival injuries typically requires elimination of the insult and symptomatic therapy. If permanent gingival defects resulted from the injury, periodontal plastic surgery may be necessary. CONCLUSIONS: A variety of chemical, physical, and thermal injuries may involve the gingiva. Accidental and iatrogenic injuries are often acute and self-limiting, while factitious injuries tend to be more chronic in nature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/9. The development of osteoradionecrosis from sites of periodontal disease activity: report of 3 cases.osteoradionecrosis may develop following radiation therapy that involves bone, and most particularly following treatment of cancers within the head and neck. The mandible is at greatest risk of osteoradionecrosis because of the nature of its blood supply and its dense bone configuration. This paper describes 3 cases which demonstrate the development of osteoradionecrosis in the mandible from sites of periodontal disease activity following external beam radiotherapy. The pathogenesis of these events is reviewed, and recommendations for their management are discussed. A proposal for the use of chlorhexidine digluconate and hyperbaric oxygen in the periodontal management of this condition is outlined.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/9. A functional acrylic periodontal veneer (case report)Acrylic periodontal veneers were recommended to improve - aesthetics following periodontal surgery, especially when there is considerable apical movement of the gingival margin with subsequent exposure of roots (L'Estrange and strahan 1970). The present report is a case of a young sudanese lady, 30 years old, who presented with severe gingival recession on the lingual surface of 21/12 with subsequent exposure of the roots as a result of inflammatory periodontal disease. The exposed roots were sharp enough to cause a traumatic ulcer at the tip of the tongue. Healing of the ulcer was only attainable following construction of an acrylic periodontal veneer to cover the sharp roots and was placed on the lingual surface of 21/12. The patients acceptability to the veneer was excellent and encouraging.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/9. Rapidly progressive periodontal disease associated with hiv infection: report of case.A case of rapidly progressive periodontal disease associated with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection is presented. Rapid horizontal bone loss, with only moderate inflammation, occurred during a 13-month period. Pocket depth was significantly less than anticipated, given the degree of bone loss. The patient had no signs or symptoms of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The cause, features, diagnosis, and management are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/9. Preventing factitious gingival injury in an autistic patient.A 34-year-old man with a history of autism developed a deep gingival cleft. During clinical evaluation, the patient repeatedly scraped the affected area with his fingernail. The lesion's clinical features were consistent with focal inflammatory hyperplasia, periodontal disease and factitious stomatitis. This article describes the case and discusses diagnostic and behavioral issues important in treating any patient whose mental age is impaired.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/9. Reconstruction of function and aesthetics of the maxillary anterior region: a combined periodontal/orthodontic therapy.Severe cases of periodontal disease often require periodontal surgery. Techniques have been developed attempting to minimize the postsurgical gingival recession and compromise of the interdental papillae. This article presents a case report in which soft tissue regenerative surgery was minimized through combined utilization of periodontal and orthodontic principles. The treatment plan included the control of periodontal inflammation, restoration of lost attachment apparatus, realignment of anterior dentition, and stabilization of occlusion. The anticipated loss of a maxillary central incisor was avoided. The learning objective of this article is to present the advantage of the interdisciplinary form of therapy in such challenging cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/9. A surgical approach for the periodontal treatment of maxillary anterior teeth: report of a case.A modified technique aimed at the conservation of maxillary anterior esthetics is proposed for the surgical treatment of periodontal disease when surgery is indicated in addition to nonsurgical debridement. This technique allows access to periodontally diseased root surfaces and suggests a flap design and a method for suturing which minimize postsurgical soft tissue recessions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = periodontal disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
