A COMPARISON OF THE EFFICACY OF WATER FLOSSER TO INTERDENTAL FLOSS AROUND DENTAL IMPLANTS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL AND A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF PATIENTS' PERCEPTIONS
(2021)
AIM
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a water flosser device compared to flossing around implants in several clinical parameters and to investigate patients’ perceptions and experiences of implant ...
Effects of Er:YAG Photobiomodulation Therapy on Wound Healing of Human Palatal Mucosa After Connective Tissue Graft Harvesting: A Pilot Study
(2020)
Objective: The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) with a 2940-nm Er:YAG laser on post-operative pain and wound healing at the palatal donor site of subepithelial connective ...
The Relationship between Periodontal Disease and Vitamin D
(2015)
Background: As vitamin Dis known to have functions in bone homeostasis and immune system regulation, it is plausible that vitamin D levels could affect the progression of periodontal disease. Currently, there is conflicting ...
Assessment of Gingival Tissue Hemodynamics by Optical Spectroscopy in Diagnosis of Periodontal Disease - Multicenter Clinical Trials
(2015)
Background: Currently used diagnostic methods in periodontics are unable to identify disease activity and progression until significant attachment loss has happened. New diagnostic modalities and parameters are needed to ...
A Randomized Clinical Trial of the in vivo effect of non-metallic vs metallic hand scalers on zirconia implant supported crowns during a year of peri-implant maintenance
(2019)
Background: This study examined whether the degree of abutment surface modification that may occur with regular periodontal instrumentation has a clinical impact in terms of increased plaque accumulation and increased ...
The Efficacy of Adjunctive Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy for Residual Pockets in Previously Surgically Treated Teeth: A Randomized Clinical Trial
(2020)
Purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) delivered as an adjunct to maintenance therapy, specifically in patients with residual pockets at previously ...
A comparison of the efficacy of two different interdental protocols around dental implants in maintenance patients: a randomized controlled trial
(2015)
Background: Although there are multiple studies comparing the efficacy of different interdental hygiene aids on natural teeth, little or no data exists to show what method of interdental cleaning may be most effective on ...
A 6-month comparison of piezo ultrasonic scaler and hand instrumentation in the maintenance of peri-implant tissues: a randomized clinical trial
(2016)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effects, presence of inflammatory cytokines, and the patients'
perceived discomfort of two mechanical non-surgical methods of peri-implant maintenance: the ...
Volumetric changes of soft and hard tissues following alveolar ridge preservation: Freezedried bone allograft with collagen plug vs. L-PRF clot
(2019)
A randomized study examining the effect of Leukocytic Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) clot on the hard and soft tissue volumetric changes in ridge preservation procedures when compared to freeze dried bone block allografts ...
Videoscope-assisted lateral maxillary sinus floor elevation: evaluation of the Schneiderian membrane for micro-perforations
(2022-06-30)
Introduction: Sinus floor elevation procedures are of a moderate to high complexity, entailing a significant risk of complications. The most frequent and common intra-operative complication is perforation of the sinus ...
