Anterior open bite and gingival recession in children and adolescents.

Gingival recession is a manifestation of periodontal breakdown. Plaque microorganisms are the primary aetiological factor, but other secondary conditions are also associated with its presence. This study examined the hypothesis that localized gingival recession is more prevalent in open-bite cases. The study included 26 children with untreated anterior open bite and a matched control group. Clinical crown length, recession depth, oral habits and periodontal indices were recorded for each individual. Although the plaque index was not significantly different between the two groups, the open-bite group showed significantly greater clinical crown length and gingival inflammation. This may be attributed to increased virulence of dehydrated plaque and it is suggested that open bite may predispose to the development of localized gingival recession in the anterior segments of young individuals.

Agranulocytosis--periodontal manifestations and treatment of the acute phase: a case report.

A case report of oral and periodontal manifestation of agranulocytosis in a 12-year-old girl is presented. The agranulocytic state may have been caused by chronic brucellosis since childhood. On admission to the hospital, the acute oral symptoms were treated in order to enable the child to eat and perform standard oral hygiene measures. Chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% was irrigated daily under pressure for supra- and subgingival plaque control. Resolution of inflammation was achieved without increase in white blood count and thus can be attributed to the control of the local etiologic factor, i.e., plaque.

Self-performed subgingival irrigation--a case report.

Self-performed subgingival irrigation with 0.2% chlorhexidine is a simple method of treating isolated, deep periodontal pockets which do not respond favorably to conventional treatment techniques. Subgingival irrigation is most efficient in the anterior region, where it can be easily performed, and the results (resolution of inflammatory signs and pocket reduction) can be achieved within a short period of time (2-4 weeks). A case is presented whereby a non-surgical treatment of a patient with advanced adult type periodontal disease was used. After completion of active therapy, clinical and radiographic follow-up were maintained for three years. The need to depend on the patients's skill and cooperation may, however, limit the use of this technique.
