A 14-year follow-up study of localized juvenile periodontitis treated by scaling and root planing, systemic metronidazole, and subgingival curettage: a case report.

This 14-year longitudinal case study involved the treatment of localized juvenile periodontitis in a male patient commencing at 15 years of age, by scaling and root planing, systemic metronidazole, and subgingival curettage along with supervised maintenance. No other surgery was required. All symptoms disappeared by the end of the active treatment phase, and radiographic evaluation and reduced probing pocket depth measurements showed adequate bone fill to have occurred and be preserved over this period.

Antioxidative activities of some chemotherapeutics. A possible mechanism in reducing gingival inflammation.

Inflammatory periodontal diseases are related to dental plaque formation. Increase in the perfusion of the inflamed tissue results in increased oxygen supply. Although oxygen has healing effects, it is bound to be a mediator of peroxidation in biological membranes. Chemotherapeutic agents such as chlorhexidine, listerine, sanguinarine, and cetylpridinium chloride and oral antibiotics such as tetracycline HCl and doxycyline were tested for their antioxidative activities. While doxycycline has the highest antioxidant activity in lower volumes (0.1 ml), sanguinarine, listerine and a pace after them, tetracycline HCl, had similar effects in higher volumes (0.3 and 0.4 ml). The results showed that in addition to their antiseptic or antimicrobial effects, these preparations have an antioxidative activity against spontaneous oxidation.

Histologic and histomorphometric comparison of immediately placed hydroxyapatite-coated and titanium plasma-sprayed implants: a pilot study in dogs.

The purpose of this pilot study was to make a histologic and histomorphometric comparison of hydroxyapatite-(HA) coated and titanium plasma-sprayed (TPS) root-form implants that were placed in 2 mongrel dogs immediately after extraction of mandibular premolars. After 8 weeks of healing, the implant-containing segments of the mandible were removed en bloc and bone blocks including implants were sectioned. Histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed by evaluating bone sections. The mean bone contact percentage of HA-coated implants was 61.84 +/- 7.84%, with a range of 52.09% to 75.7%, and the mean bone contact percentage of TPS implants was 51.35 +/- 12.1%, with a range of 30.1% to 70.6%. This pilot study suggests that HA-coated implants placed into fresh extraction sockets can achieve better bone contact than TPS implants, but there was evidence that the surface of the HA layer can be resorbed, so long-term stability of HA coatings in immediate implantation must be investigated.
