Background:Bacteremia frequently occurs after treatment procedures such as extractions, scaling, root planing, periodontal surgery. There is currently significant interest in the possibility that bacteremia with oral bacteria may play role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. There are well-conducted studies that have determined the frequency of passage of periodontal microorganisms to the bloodstream after periodontal treatment. There is scarce information related to the incidence of periodontopathic microorganisms during bacteremia induced by this procedure.Aim:The aim of this study was to establish the frequency of passage of periodontopathic microorganisms in peripheric blood after scaling and root planing in patients with periodontitis.Materials and Methods:Forty subjects with chronic periodontitis were included in the study. Blood samples were drawn from each patient at following intervals pre-treatment i.e., before SRP (P1), immediately after SRP (P2), and 30 minutes after SRP (P3). Following SRP, blood samples were analyzed for following microorganisms: Porphyromonasgingivalis, Tannerella. forysthus, Eikenellanella. corrodens, Campylobacter species, Micromonas. micros, and Prevotella. intermedia.Statistical Analysis Used:Chi-square test.Results:Bacteremia was found in 70% (28/40) immediately after SRP and after 30 min, it was reduced to 25% (10/40) and 7.5% (3/40) presented bacteremia before SRP.Conclusions:It was concluded that bacteremia frequently occurs immediately after SRP with P. gingivalis showing the highest frequency in blood.

Aim:The study aimed at obtaining glucose readings using gingival crevicular blood (GCB) to screen for undiagnosed diabetes during routine dental visits. Materials and Methods: The present study included 50 patients who were divided into two groups, i.e. Group A and Group B, based on bleeding on probing at the site of collection of GCB. Group A participants had blood collected from sites having adequate bleeding on probing, whereas Group B participants had blood collected from sites with little bleeding on probing. GCB and capillary fi nger-stick blood (CFB] glucose readings were obtained using a self-monitoring glucometer. Statistical Analysis: Correlations between both the samples were done using Pearson's correlation. Results: Group A patients' correlations between GCB and CFB glucose readings were high, whereas in Group B patients, correlations between glucose readings were low. Conclusion: GCB can be an excellent source for screening diabetes during routine dental visits.

IntroductionDental implants replace missing teeth. Dental implants are surgically placed tooth root replacements that secure prosthetic teeth and bridges. Branemark's original dental implant technique included a mesiobuccal flap and a two-stage approach, needing 6-8 months of recovery following extraction, sterile conditions, machined titanium implants, 3-6 months without stress for osseointegration, and a detachable temporary prosthesis. The restoration would usually be ready a year following the implant surgery. Implant treatment seeks the best function, aesthetics, and complication risk. Implant therapy with low patient morbidity and fast extraction-to-restoration times is a secondary target. Instantaneous implant insertion has made implant dentistry more convenient for patients and clinicians. This study measures bone height before, after, and one month after implant placement using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and MethodsParticipants were selected from oral evaluation candidates. This investigation included 11 people missing front maxillary or mandibular teeth or root components. Diagnostic castings determined the interarch connection before surgery. Alginate maxillary and mandibular arch imprints were cast in Type III dental stone for diagnosis. CBCT scans were taken pre-operatively, post-implant, and post-prosthesis. After the tooth was removed, the empty socket was cleaned up with curettes. An intraoral periapical radiograph and manual probing were done to determine the implant's size. The implant was removed for examination after three months, and healing abutments and gingival formers were placed. Finally, fins were placed. The CBCT images also captured the bone height around the implants. The soft tissue parameters were recorded and evaluated at baseline and one-month following prosthetic loading as plaque index (PI). Radiographic evaluation was done at baseline and one-month following functional loading using CBCT. After one month following functional loading, crestal bone levels were measured again with the help of CBCT using Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, US). ResultsThe sample population had an average age of 42.81 years, with a standard deviation of 13.44 years. Using a paired t-test, we found that the mean PI dropped significantly from pre-loading levels to one-month postloading levels, with a p-value of less than 0.001. The mean crestal bone level (mesial) evaluated by CBCT at baseline and one-month post-loading was 2.52 ± 1.97 mm and 1.17 ± 1.31 mm, respectively. The mean difference between mean crestal bone loss (distal) at baseline and one-month post-loading was 0.94 ± 1.89 mm, which was not statistically significant. The mean difference between mean crestal bone loss (buccal) at baseline and one-month post-loading was 1.82 ± 1.60 mm, which was statistically significant. The mean difference between mean crestal bone loss (lingual) at baseline and one-month post-loading was 1.91 ± 1.53 which was statistically significant. ConclusionCBCT ...

Nanotechnology is the study of materials, devices, and systems that display features that are distinct from those found in larger systems. It is no surprise that medical and dental researchers have taken notice of this rapid advancement in technology, which has piqued their curiosity about how it may be used to cure and prevent disease. It is a relatively new science that deals with the manipulation of matter at the molecular level, including the manipulation of individual molecules and their relationships. High-level control of position and chemical characteristics are the primary goals of this method. Nanotechnology has become one of the most promising and significant areas of scientific research as a result, thanks to an increased interest in interpreting matter's property at this dimension. Nanotechnology has been used in dentistry to produce new materials and procedures for diagnosing, preventing, treating, and regenerating periodontal disease, which is the subject of this article. Cargoes and materials such polymeric nanoparticles, non-porous nanogels, nanotube scaffold matrices, and nanofibers have shown promise effectiveness, and their functions in disease treatment are of significant interest. The purpose of this review paper is to offer thorough recent updates on the numerous nanotechnology-based methods to periodontal disease treatment.

Over the decades, the demand for teeth whitening has increased which has prompted the creation of numerous novel bleaching products. A teethwhitening product called Synergy gel makes claim to cause no signicant sensitivity, is highly effective, has ease of handling, and is used without a gingival barrier. Hence, this study is to evaluate the efcacy of teeth-whitening agents with and without the use of a diode laser. The teeth Method: in this split-mouth design were grouped into group A (Novo Synergy tooth whitening with an 810nm diode laser) and group B (Only Novo Synergy tooth whitening). There is a signicant difference between both groups at imme Result: diate and 15 days. But, there is no signicant difference between both groups at 3 months. The use of diode lasers (810nm) to enhance bleaching ha Conclusion: s signicant efcacy to that of the synergy gel bleaching but for a shorter period of time.
