Nonsurgical periodontal therapy to treat a case of severe periodontitis

The use of mini-anchorage screws in the surgical orthodontic treatment of stage-III periodontitis: a clinical case

“…In our patient, quarterly periodontal maintenance (monthly during active periodontitis) was necessary [10]. This result is consistent with the study published by Khorsan et al (n = 8 aggressive periodontitis cases followed over 6 months) [11] and the clinical case (12-month follow-up) by Carnio et al (2015) [9]. In conclusion, the suitability of the screw mechanism has provided a definitive advantage to the use of the orthodontic mini-screw technique on a thinned periodontium such that the desired result has been achieved [13,14].…”

“…Alternatives to orthoperiodontal treatment are one of the following two options: multiple endodontic treatments with extractions and a full-arch bridge or multiple extractions with guided bone regeneration and multiple bone grafts to facilitate prosthetic rehabilitation by using full-arch implant-supported bridges. This strategy, which causes significant tissue damage, has shown poor clinical results in patients [9,10] and is not in line with the principle of tissue economy. The prerequisite for any orthodontic treatment on a diminished periodontium is to attempt to stabilize the periodontal disease, which is sensitive to the deleterious effect of tooth displacements [11].…”

Supportive periodontal treatment: Pocket depth changes and tooth loss

“…For instance, settings may differ, with practice‐based studies reporting a lower mean tooth loss rate compared with university‐based studies . Also, SPT studies with a longer duration report higher rates of TL . As this present study encompasses 10 years of follow‐up, the higher TL rate could be explained by the long follow‐up period.…”

“…The incontestable failure of periodontal therapy is tooth loss. The ultimate objective of periodontal therapy is to retain the natural dentition and support oral health by decelerating the progression of periodontitis, increasing the clinical attachment level and reducing probing pocket depth . Thus, the aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes of a group of patients who have adhered to the proposed SPT protocol for 10 years, including probing pocket depth and tooth loss.…”

Effect of Nd:YAG laser‐assisted non‐surgical periodontal therapy on clinical periodontal and serum biomarkers in patients with and without coronary artery disease: A short‐term pilot study

“…Non‐surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) using ultrasonic scalers and/or hand instruments (such as curettes) is usually performed for the management of PD ; however, NSPT alone is often ineffective in completely eliminating pathogenic microbes and their products from periodontal pockets . Preliminary studies have suggested that NSPT with adjunct neodymium‐doped:yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (Nd:YAG) laser therapy may be more effective in reducing periodontal inflammation than when NSPT is used alone.…”
