  2. 1. Root surface conditioning in periodontal treatment

    Author : Johan Blomlöf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : citric acid; collagen; EDTL; etching; monkey; periodontal healing; periodolntitis; phosphoric acid; root planing; scanning electron microscopy; smearlayer; ultrasonic scaling; vitality. ISBN: 91-628-2646-8;

    Abstract : Marginal periodontal healing following both invasive and non-invasive therapies is influenced by a large number of systemic and local factors. In order to optimize healing, a lot of effort is put into minimizing possible sources of infection both in performing different periodontal therapies as well as during the healing period. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on plaque distribution and gingival crevicular fluid after non-surgical treatment in smokers and non-smokers with periodontal diseases

    Author : Birgitta Söder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Scaling; root planing; refractory periodontitis; long-term maintenance therapy; computerized planimetric plaque measurements P%I ; plaque distribution; smoking; systemic metronidazole; gingival crevicular fluid; neutrophil elastase; prostaglandin E2;

    Abstract : Dental plaque plays a key role in the complex process by which periodontal diseases are initiated. The basic treatment of these diseases is non-surgical, involving supragingival plaque control as well as supra- and subgingival scaling and root planing. READ MORE

  5. 3. The effect of therapeutic and Nd:YAG laser as an adjunct treatment modality in periodontal therapy

    Author : Talat Qadri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Low level laser; Nd:YAG laser; protease activity; coherence length; periodontal inflammation; cytokines; scaling and root planing.;

    Abstract : Laser irradiation has been proposed as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing in the treatment of periodontitis. However, the reported outcomes of studies to date are contradictory and the literature provides limited evidence to support an additional benefit of laser application. READ MORE

  6. 4. On approaches to periodontal infection control

    Author : Cristiano Tomasi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The purpose of the project was to gain understanding of clinical possibilities and applicability of non-surgical periodontal therapy. A clinical study was designed to compare a full-mouth ultrasonic debridement approach with the traditional approach of consecutive sessions of quadrant-wise scaling/root planing with respect to the clinical outcome and long term stability.

  7. 5. Clinical, microbiological and immunological effects of antiseptics in periodontal treatment

    Author : Anton Vitt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : periodontal disease;

    Abstract : Periodontal diseases are characterized by high prevalence in many populations and the chronic and progressive course of the disease. A fundamental stage of treatment is mechanical debridement of the tooth surface. During debridement antimicrobial agents may be applied as adjunctive intrasulcular irrigants. READ MORE
