Reduction of HbA1c levels following nonsurgical treatment of periodontal disease in type 2 diabetics
2009
Objectives: A study was made of the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment upon blood glucose control in type 2 diabetics with periodontal disease. Study design: A pre-post repeated measures analytical design was used, with a PubMed search of the related articles published up until December 2008. Results: The improvement in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) after nonsurgical periodontal treatment on comparing the baseline (8.0290±1.5539) and final values (7.7806±1.5636) was 0.2483±0.1171, and proved statistically significant (p=0.042). Conclusions: A decrease in HbA1c was observed after treatment, thus indicating improved blood glucose control in type 2 diabetics with periodontal disease.
Nonsurgical treatment of earlobe aging in Mowlavi stages I and II earlobe ptosis with Hyaluronic acid fillers.
2018
Background: Earlobe deflation caused by fat atrophy is normally treated with lipofilling, mostly in the context of facelift surgery. In this report, we aim at reporting on Hyaluronic Acid injections to treat earlobe deflation. Materials and Methods: 16 Mowlavi Grade I and II patients were treated with HA injections, followed by molding to shape the lobule. Results: Effective correction, lasting 14 months on average, is achieved. Five patients needed a touch-up procedure after 4-6 months to improve the result. Conclusions: Earlobe augmentation with HA is an ideal option for correction of earlobe atrophy in cases of Mowlavi Grades I and II ptosis. Long-lasting (about 14 months) correction is …
Nonsurgical treatment of an adult with skeletal Class III malocclusion, anterior crossbite, and an impacted canine
2021
Class III malocclusion presents some complexity in terms of diagnosis and treatment and affects not only the jaws but the whole craniofacial complex. Besides, functional forward displacement of the mandible may be diagnosed in a patient presenting Class III malocclusion, as the 2 entities are not incompatible or mutually exclusive. This case report describes the multidisciplinary, nonsurgical, orthodontic treatment of an adult patient with a skeletal Class III malocclusion, anterior crossbite, and a palatally impacted canine, treated with fixed appliances and skeletal anchorage. To upright the mandibular molars, distalize the whole mandibular arch, and avoid excessive inclination of maxilla…
Intratumoral PO2 Histography as Predictive Assay in Advanced Cancer of the Uterine Cervix
1994
Experimental evidence suggests that the hypoxic fraction in a solid tumor may increase its malignant potential and reduce its sensitivity towards nonsurgical treatment modalities such as standard irradiation and certain anticancer agents1–5. However, the clinical importance of tumor hypoxia remains uncertain since valid methods for the routine measurement of intratumoral O2-tensions in patients have so far been lacking.
Clinical and radiographical evaluation of the healing of large periapical lesions using triple antibiotic paste, photo activated disinfection and cal…
2014
Objectives: To evaluate clinically and radio graphically, the healing following nonsurgical treatment of periapical lesions when Photo Activated Disinfection(PAD), triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide was used as root canal disinfectant. Material and Methods: Sixty patients (20 for PAD, 20 for triple antibiotic paste, 20 for calcium hydroxide) with periapical lesions in the maxillary and mandibular anterior region were selected from the outpatient section of the Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, Govt. Dental College, Kozhikode to participate in this study. The patients were selected with a preoperative score of 4 or 5. There were no significant differences for the…
Outcomes of pneumatic dilation in achalasia: Extended follow-up of more than 25 years with a focus on manometric subtypes
2018
Background and aim Pneumatic dilation (PD) is the most popular nonsurgical treatment for achalasia. This study investigated predicting factors, including manometric subtypes for symptom recurrence in the long term, in patients with achalasia treated with a single PD. Methods Between 1983 and 2013, a total of 107 patients were treated initially with a single PD and included in this longitudinal cohort study. Outcomes were correlated with demographics, symptoms (Eckardt score), and esophagographic and manometric features. Manometric tracings were retrospectively classified according to the three subtypes of the Chicago classification. Results Ninety-one (85%) patients were successfully treate…
