The effect of postsurgical administration of a selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor on the healing of intrabony defects following treatment with enamel matrix proteins.

Regenerative treatment with enamel matrix proteins (EMD) has been shown to promote regeneration in intrabony periodontal defects. However, up to now various postoperative regimens such as the routine administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were often used in combination with enamel matrix proteins. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the results might have been influenced by the effect of the postoperative medication. The aim of this randomized, controlled, blinded, clinical investigation was to determine the effect of postsurgical administration of a selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor on the healing of intrabony periodontal defects following regenerative period…

Effect of EDTA root conditioning on the healing of intrabony defects treated with an enamel matrix protein derivative.

Contains fulltext : 49580.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) BACKGROUND: Regenerative periodontal therapy with an enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) has been shown to promote regeneration in intrabony periodontal defects. However, in most clinical studies, root surface conditioning with EDTA was performed in conjunction with the application of EMD, and, therefore, it cannot be excluded that the results may also be attributable to the effect of the root conditioning procedure. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of root conditioning on the healing of intrabony defects treated with EMD. METHODS: Twenty-four patients, each of whom exhibited one deep intrabony defect…

In vivo and in vitro effects of an Er:YAG laser, a GaAlAs diode laser, and scaling and root planing on periodontally diseased root surfaces: A comparative histologic study

Background and Objectives The aim of the present histologic study was to compare the in vivo and in vitro effects of an erbium: yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (Er:YAG) laser (ERL), combined with a fluorescent calculus detection system, a diode laser (DL) and scaling and root planing (SRP) on periodontally diseased root surfaces. Study Design/Materials and Methods Twenty-four single rooted teeth, considered for extraction due to severe periodontal destruction, were included in the study. Prior to extraction all mesial root surfaces were randomly assigned to the following treatment groups: (1) ERL combined with a calculus detection system with fluorescence induced by 655 nm InGaAsP DL radiatio…

Healing of intrabony defects following treatment with a bovine-derived xenograft and collagen membrane

Objectif: L'objectif de cette etude etait de comparer cliniquement le traitement de lesions intra-osseuses profondes avec xenogreffe d'origine bovine (BDX) associe a une membrane collagene bioresorbable pour acceder a la chirurgie a lambeau. Methode: Vingt-huit malades souffrant de parodontite chronique, chacun montrant une lesion intra-osseuse ont ete traites au hasard au BDX+membrane collagene (essai) ou avec chirurgie a lambeau (controle). Les mesures des tissus mous ont ete prises au depart et 1 an apres la therapie. Resultats: Aucune difference dans aucun des parametres etudies n'a ete observee au depart entre les deux groupes. La cicatrisation a ete sans incident pour tous les malades…

Er:YAG laser treatment in supportive periodontal therapy.

To assess clinical and microbiological outcomes of an Er:YAG laser in comparison with sonic debridement in the treatment of persistent periodontal pockets in a prospective randomized controlled multicentre study design.A total of 78 patients in supportive periodontal therapy with two residual pockets were included, 58 were available for the whole follow-up period. Root surfaces were instrumented either with a sonic scaler (Sonicflex(®) 2003 L) or with an Er:YAG laser (KEY Laser(®) 3). Clinical attachment levels (CAL), Probing depths (PD), Plaque control record (PCR) and Bleeding on probing (BOP) were assessed at baseline, 13 and 26 weeks after treatment. In addition, microbiological analysi…

Non-surgical periodontal treatment with a new ultrasonic device (Vectortm-ultrasonic system) or hand instruments. A prospective, controlled clinical study

Objectives: The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study was to compare the effectiveness of a newly developed ultrasonic device to that of scaling and root planing for non-surgical periodontal treatment. Material and Methods: Thirty-eight patients with moderate to advanced chronic periodontal disease were treated according to an “one-stage procedure” with either a newly developed ultrasonic device (VUS) (Vector™-ultrasonic system) or scaling and root planing (SRP) using hand instruments. Clinical assessments by plaque index (PlI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were made …

Clinical evaluation of an Er:YAG laser combined with scaling and root planing for non-surgical periodontal treatment

Objectifs: le but de cette etude clinique controlee etait de comparer les traitements de maladie parodontale avancee par une association de laser Er:YAG (KEY II®, KaVo, Germany) et de detartrage et surfacage radiculaire manuels (SRP) avec le laser seul. Materiel & Methodes: 20 patients sains presentant des destructions parodontales moderees a avancees furent traites au hasard en bouche divisee par une association de laser Er:YAG et de detartrage et surfacage radiculaire manuels (SRP) (test) et le laser seul (controle). L'energie utilisee en reglage pour le laser etait de 160 mJ/pulsation a un taux de repetition de 10 Hz. Prealablement au traitement, et 3, 6 etl2 mois apres, les parametres s…

Immunohistochemical investigation on the pattern of vimentin expression in regenerated and intact monkey and human periodontal ligament.

The expression of vimentin is well documented in the intact animal and human periodontal ligament (PDL), but there is limited information on the pattern of vimentin expression in the regenerated PDL. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pattern of vimentin expression in the regenerated and intact monkey and human PDL. A total of 12 chronic recession-type defects were created in three monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) and treated either with guided tissue regeneration (GTR), or with an enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD). After 5 months, the animals were sacrificed and specimens containing the defects and surrounding tissues were dissected free, decalcified in EDTA and embedded…

Periodontal treatment with an Er:YAG laser compared to ultrasonic instrumentation: a pilot study.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of an Er:YAG laser to that of ultrasonic scaling for non-surgical periodontal treatment.Twenty patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease were randomly treated in a split-mouth design with a single episode of subgingival debridement using either an Er:YAG laser device (160 mJ/pulse, 10 Hz) combined with a calculus detection system with fluorescence induced by 655 nm InGaAsP diode laser radiation (ERL), or an ultrasonic instrument (UI). Clinical assessments of full-mouth plaque score (FMPS), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were made at baseline…

Periodontal Treatment with an Er:YAG Laser or Scaling and Root Planing. A 2-Year Follow-Up Split-Mouth Study

Non-surgical periodontal treatment with an Er:YAG laser has been shown to result in significant clinical attachment level gain; however, clinical results have not been established on a long-term basis following Er:YAG laser treatment. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to present the 2-year results following non-surgical periodontal treatment with an Er:YAG laser or scaling and root planing.Twenty patients with moderate to advanced periodontal destruction were treated under local anesthesia, and the quadrants were randomly allocated in a split-mouth design to either 1) Er:YAG laser (ERL) using an energy level of 160 mJ/pulse and 10 Hz, or 2) scaling and root planing (SRP) using han…

Aim: The aim of this controlled, parallel design clinical study was to compare the healing of intrabony periodontal defects following treatment with access flap surgery with and without debridement with an Er:YAG laser. Methods: Twenty-three patients each of whom exhibited one deep intrabony defect were randomly treated with either access flap surgery followed by root surface and defect debridement using an Er:YAG laser (KEY3®) (160 mJ, 10 Hz) (test), or with access flap surgery followed by root surface and defect debridement using hand and ultrasonic instruments (control). The following clinical parameters were recorded at baseline and at 6 months: plaque index; gingival index; bleeding on…
