“…Patients met the following inclusion criteria: type 1 diabetes mellitus (World Health Organization 1985); age between 18 and 60 years; no other drugs except insulin; at least 1 healthy periodontal pocket (pocket depth <3 mm, not bleeding 30 s after probing with a constant-force periodontal probe calibrated at 0.75 N; Brodontic, Arthodent, Culemborg. The Netherlands; Borsboom et al 1981) and one diseased periodontal pocket (pocket depth >4 mm, bleeding on probing). Bleeding was scored as either absent or present, according to the periodontal pocket bleeding index (PPBI) devised by Van der Velden (1979).…”

On the basis of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values, 22 type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic adults were grouped into patients with near normal (HbA1c less than or equal to 7.7%) and poor (HbA1c greater than or equal to 9.9%) metabolic control. A total of 44 subgingival sites were examined for Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, black-pigmented Bacteroides species and Capnocytophaga species. No significant difference could be demonstrated between patients in the 2 test groups with regard to periodontal condition. Neither age of diabetic patients nor duration of diabetes mellitus influenced the periodontal parameters. In both test groups, pocket depth of 4 mm or more (greater than or equal to 4 mm) was found to be significantly associated with increased swelling, bleeding after probing and amount of marginal plaque. Proportionally high %s of cultivable A. actinomycetemcomitans (mean 4.3%; range 2.8-5.8%), Bacteroides gingivalis (33.2% and 34.6%) and Bacteroides intermedius (mean 4.2%; range 0.001-13.5%) were isolated from diseased periodontal pockets. In diabetic patients with poor metabolic control, B. intermedius was isolated from diseased periodontal pockets with a mean % of 7.2%, range 0.3-12.5%. Independent of the degree of metabolic control, low %s of Capnocytophaga species were isolated from diseased and healthy periodontal pockets, mean 0.9% (range 0.003-3.9%) and mean 1.4% (range 0.04-4.9%), respectively. It was concluded from this study that metabolic control seems to have no direct effect on the periodontium. Furthermore, the rôle of Capnocytophaga species in the pathogenesis of infectious periodontal disease in type 1 diabetic patients seems to be overestimated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

“…Forces differed between examiners, and when different regions of the mouth were probed (24, 25, 36). Force controlled probes have been proposed to reduce these possible sources of error (12, 14, 15, 28, 60, 77, 93, 96).…”

“…The pocket probing depth was measured using a modified Williams probe (Hu-Friedy) applying a constant probing force of 0.5 N (cross section of the probe tip 0.5 mm); probing pressure 250 N/cm- (Tromp et al 1979, Borsboom et al 1981).…”

This investigation was designed to determine the influence of different frequencies of tooth brushing on artificial periodontal defects in the beagle dog after a period of healing. In 12 beagle dogs, periodontal defects were created using elastic bands placed in the sulci below the gingival margin after having cut the dento-gingival fibres to the level of the alveolar bone crest. This active phase of creating defects lasted for 6 weeks. After removal of the elastic bands, the created defects were left undisturbed during the remainder of the pre-experimental period (12 weeks). 6 premolars in the lower jaw were used (2P2, 3P3, 4P4). After the pre-experimental period, the 12 dogs were distributed into 3 groups of 4 dogs each. Each group was brushed with a certain frequency, i.e., 7 times, 3 times or once a week. Registrations of plaque index, gingival index and probing depth using a constant force probe were carried out on approximal surfaces. The experiment lasted for 24 weeks. A brushing effect was calculated for each dog to include information on all within-dog and between-dog variations. It was shown in relation to artificially-induced periodontal defects in beagle dogs that after a period of healing, brushing 7 times a week is superior to brushing 3 times a week in establishing and maintaining gingival health.
