Six-month clinical outcomes of non-surgical periodontal treatment with antibiotics on apoptosis markers in aggressive periodontitis.

OBJECTIVE: Extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of apoptosis are involved in generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP). The aim of this study was to evaluate 6-month clinical outcomes relative to apoptosis of one-stage full-mouth disinfection (OSFMD) and systemic antibiotics (SA) in the treatment of GAgP. METHODS: Twenty-six patients with GAgP were included in this prospective follow-up intervention study. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was collected from patients at baseline and 3 and 6 months after periodontal therapy, which consisted of OSFMD and SA (amoxicillin and metronidazole, 500 mg ea

The effectiveness of systematic perioperative oral hygiene in reduction of postoperative respiratory tract infections after elective thoracic surgery in adults: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Nosocomial infections are a significant contributor to patient morbidity and mortality. Nosocomial infections significantly increase hospital length of stay and total hospital costs. Thoracic surgery, mechanical ventilation and/or admission to an intensive care unit are known to increase patients' risk for nosocomial respiratory tract infection. OBJECTIVES: To identify, appraise and synthesize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of systematic perioperative oral hygiene in the reduction of postoperative respiratory airway infections in adult patients undergoing electiv

Clinical outcome of a nonsurgical and surgical treatment protocol in different types of peri-implantitis: a case series.

OBJECTIVE: The replacement of missing teeth with dental implants has been standard practice in dentistry for many years. The success of dental implants depends on many factors, among which the diagnosis, clinical severity, and treatment of peri-implant diseases play a key role. In this prospective case series, the influence of cumulative treatment modalities on peri-implantitis with and without pus formation on clinical outcome was assessed. METHOD AND MATERIALS: During 2010, 28 patients were referred for peri-implantitis treatment. They presented two different types of peri-implant diseases:

Calprotectin levels in gingival crevicular fluid predict disease activity in patients treated for generalized aggressive periodontitis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Clinical parameters such as probing depth and bleeding on probing are commonly used for monitoring after periodontal treatment. However, these parameters have poor prognostic utility. The biomarker calprotectin is used to monitor conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease because of its ability to predict disease activity. Levels of calprotectin in gingival crevicular fluid correlate with periodontal disease severity and treatment outcome. The validity of calprotectin as predictor for future periodontal disease activity has not yet been investigated. MATERIAL AND

Prevention of maternal bacterial transmission on children's dental-caries-development: 4-year results of a pilot study in a rural-child population.

AIM: Dental caries with its bacterial agent is an infectious disease, and shows a vertical transmission. The control of bacterial transmission of Mutans streptococci (MS) from mother to child has been studied, and its results on their children's caries development, and on their siblings' bacterial levels, have been analysed in a field-trial (for 4 years) in rural area. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the same tribe, 8 mothers and their 11 children (test children [TC]), and then (following years) their 9 siblings (test sibling [TSb]), were followed for 4 years. The study started when the TC group had

Influence of gaseous ozone in peri-implantitis: bactericidal efficacy and cellular response. An in vitro study using titanium and zirconia.

Dental implants are prone to bacterial colonization which may result in bone destruction and implant loss. Treatments of peri-implant disease aim to reduce bacterial adherence while leaving the implant surface intact for attachment of bone-regenerating host cells. The aims of this study were to investigate the antimicrobial efficacy of gaseous ozone on bacteria adhered to various titanium and zirconia surfaces and to evaluate adhesion of osteoblast-like MG-63 cells to ozone-treated surfaces. Saliva-coated titanium (SLA and polished) and zirconia (acid etched and polished) disks served as subst

A prospective clinical trial for assessing the efficacy of a minimally invasive protocol in patients with bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess whether a minimally invasive protocol can be effective in the long-term control of necrotic areas and pain in patients suffering osteonecrosis of the jaw associated with the use of bisphosphonate drugs (BRONJ). STUDY DESIGN: Thirty-four consecutive patients (14 male, 20 female) with BRONJ under treatment with zoledronate, pamidronate, or alendronate were enrolled. All of the patients received professional oral hygiene treatment and antiseptic oral rinses, and if in pain they assumed an antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanate potassi

Retrograde peri-implantitis: a case report introducing an approach to its management.

BACKGROUND: Although several potential etiologic factors associated with retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) and potential treatment options have been discussed in the literature, the etiology has not been fully investigated and the definitive management methods remain undefined. We propose a decision-making protocol for the treatment of RPI and provide new insight into the etiology of this process based on the findings from two clinical cases. METHODS: The medical and dental histories of two patients who developed RPI were thoroughly reviewed. Both patients were treated according to the treatm

Local antimicrobial therapy after initial periodontal treatment.

AIM: The aim of this single-blind, randomized, parallel-designed clinical trial (RCT) was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of three sustained-release biodegradable polymers delivered into periodontal pockets following initial periodontal therapy. METHODS: Forty-seven patients (28 females and 19 males) with a mean age of 51 years (range 29-71) underwent a periodontal examination at baseline (i.e. Week 0) and after 18 weeks. This included the assessment of the Plaque Index (PlI), Bleeding on Probing (BOP), Pocket Probing Depths (PPD) and Probing Attachment Levels (PAL) at si

Methods of Topical Administration of Drugs and Biological Active Substances for Dental Implants-A Narrative Review.

Dental implants are, nowadays, established surgical devices for the restoration of lost teeth. Considered as an alternative for traditional prosthetic appliances, dental implants surpass them in reliability and patient feedback. Local drug delivery around the implants promotes osseointegration and reduces peri-implantitis. However, there are currently no methods of a multiple, precise topical administration of drugs to the implant area. Engineering coatings on the implants, drug application on carriers during implantation, or gingival pockets do not meet all requirements of dental surgeons. Th

Patients' perception of own efforts versus clinically observed outcomes of non-surgical periodontal therapy in a Norwegian population: an observational study.

BACKGROUND: Most periodontal intervention studies have focused on biomedical qualities like change in pocket depth and clinical attachment levels. Very few studies have described patient response in terms of how patients' general lives are affected by disease, treatment, and communication with therapy providers. Thus the aim of the present study was to investigate patient response to systematic periodontal information, motivation and treatment strategy (primary aim) by comparing the patients' perception of own efforts and results with those clinically registered in a trans-sectional, observati

Root Caries in Older Adults.

Older adults are retaining an increasing number of natural teeth, and nearly half of all individuals aged 75 and older have experienced root caries. Root caries is a major cause of tooth loss in older adults, and tooth loss is the most significant negative impact on oral health-related quality of life for the elderly. The need for improved preventive efforts and treatment strategies for this population is acute.

Histologic and histobacteriologic observations of failed revascularization/revitalization therapy: a case report.

INTRODUCTION: Mechanical debridement plays an important role in eliminating intracanal bacteria, such as biofilm on the canal walls and bacteria in the dentinal tubules. Mechanical debridement is not recommended for root canal disinfection in revascularization/revitalization therapy. Here we report a failed revascularization/revitalization case, which could be due to inadequate root canal disinfection without mechanical removal of biofilm and bacteria in dentinal tubules. METHODS: A 6-year-old boy had a traumatic injury to tooth #9, which was avulsed and replanted within 40 minutes. The tooth

Sex-Disaggregated Analysis of Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections in Patients with Cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Men are generally more susceptible to bacterial infections than women. Central venous catheters (CVCs), often used to administer systemic treatment in patients with cancer, are an important source of infection. However, little is known about sex-specific differences of CVC-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in patients with cancer. This study aimed to compare CRBSIs in men versus women in a large cohort of patients with cancer. METHODS: Data were derived from the SECRECY registry including nonselected patients with centrally inserted non-tunneled internal jugular or subclav
