Metronidazole alone or with amoxicillin as adjuncts to non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis: a 1-year double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial.

mferes — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:49:25 -0800

AIM:
To evaluate the effects of the adjunctive use of metronidazole (MTZ) or MTZ + amoxicillin (AMX) in the treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis (ChP). A secondary aim was to examine a possible added effect of chlorhexidine to these therapies.
METHODS:

Differences in peri-implant conditions between fully and partially edentulous subjects: a systematic review

waalycm — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 06:38:07 -0800

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare peri-implant conditions between fully
edentulous (FES) and partially edentulous subjects (PES).
Material and methods: A systematic review was conducted. The MEDLINE, EM-
BASE and CENTRAL databases were searched for publications up to 1 January
2012. Studies reporting on the bleeding tendency of the peri-implant mucosa and/
or studies reporting on the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis and/or peri-im-
plantitis were considered.
Results: Fifty-five publications describing 46 studies were selected. One study

Non-surgical periodontal therapy reduces coronary heart disease risk markers: a randomized controlled trial

drbokhari — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 09:26:56 -0700

Aim:
Periodontal disease elevates systemic inflammatory markers strongly associated
with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. The aim of this randomized controlled
trial was to investigate the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on
systemic C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen and white blood cells in CHD
patients.
Materials and Methods:
Angiographically proven CHD patients with periodontitis
(n = 317) were randomized to intervention (n = 212) or control group
(n = 105). Primary outcome was reduction in serum CRP levels; secondary outcomes

Gerrylinden — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 06:53:04 -0700

Objective: To investigate the association between periodontitis and mortality from all causes in a prospective study in a homogenous group of 60-70 year-old Western European men.

The impact of periodontal therapy on oral health-related quality of life in adults: a systematic review

sidshanbhag — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 02:50:21 -0700

Background: Periodontal disease negatively affects oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). While there is sufficient evidence for the clinical efficacy of periodontal therapy, data on patient-based outcomes are limited.
Objectives: To systematically review the available evidence on the impact of periodontal therapy on OHRQoL in adults.

bjo — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 01:02:01 -0700

Aim: The aim of this cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), performed from a societal perspective, was to compare costs and consequences of an individually-tailored oral health educational programme (ITOHEP) based on cognitive-behavioural strategies integrated in non-surgical periodontal treatment compared with a standard treatment programme (ST).

Brain activation induced by dentine hypersensitivity pain–an fMRI study

mike214 — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:01:50 -0800

Aim: Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is characterized by a short, sharp pain arising
from exposed dentin. Most published literature reports on peripheral neural
aspects of this pain condition. The current investigation focused on differential
cerebral activity elicited by stimulation of sensitive and insensitive teeth by means
of natural air stimuli.
Materials and Methods: Five graded stimulus strengths were randomly applied by
means of a multi-injector air jet delivery system, each followed by an individual
