Comparison of Radiographic and Clinical Status and Peri-implant Crevicular Fluid Prostaglandin E2 Levels Among Patients with Peri-implant Mucositis and Peri-implantitis
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 24;(7):s9-s17. doi: 10.11607/prd.6404.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to compare radiographic and clinical status and peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels among patients with and without peri-implant disease. Patients with peri-implant mucositis (PiM) (Group 1) and peri-implantitis (Group 2) and individuals without peri-implant disease (Group 3) were included. Demographic information was collected, and peri-implant modified plaque and bleeding indices (mPI and mBI), probing depth (PD), and crestal bone loss (CBL) were recorded. PISF samples were c...

Evaluation of Enamel Surfaces Treated with a Desensitizing Agent Containing CPP-ACP Before or After In-Office Bleaching
CONCLUSIONS: Application of MI Varnish before or after in-office bleaching was effective in reducing mineral loss. However, applying MI Varnish after bleaching was more effective.PMID:37879050 | DOI:10.11607/prd.6528 (Source: International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry)

Morphologic Analysis of Zirconia Ceramics: Effect of Different Surface Treatments
CONCLUSIONS: Infiltrating nano-Si increases the surface roughness of zirconia. The formation of retentive nanopores on the surface potentially improves the zirconia-resin cement bonding strengths.PMID:37879051 | DOI:10.11607/prd.6318 (Source: International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry)

Clinical Comparison of Vascular Bleeding Time Creep Between Osseodensification and Conventional Drilling of Implant Osteotomy Sites
This study compared the onset of vascular bleeding between osseodensification and conventional drilling of implant osteotomy sites. Patients with type III trabecular bone requiring a single missing tooth replacement were included and allocated to either Group A (test) or Group B (control). In Group A, the osseodensification group (OD), an implant osteotomy was carried out using Densah Burs (Versah) in the counterclockwise direction; in Group B, the standard drilling group (SD), Densah Burs were run in the clockwise direction. An endoscope was introduced into the osteotomy to visualize and measure the time taken for initiat...

A Radiohistographic Analysis of Growth Factor-Mediated Sinus Augmentation in Atrophic Maxillae: A 30-Month Follow-up Study
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 24;(7):s93-s106. doi: 10.11607/prd.6194.ABSTRACTA total of 20 atrophic maxillary sinuses were augmented with recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB (rhPDGF-BB), alloplast, and bovine xenograft using a direct approach. CBCT imaging was performed at baseline, immediately postoperatively, and at 6 and 30 months postoperatively. A histologic evaluation revealed the bone bridging and bone regenerative efficacy of the graft material. Radiographic evaluation determined the ridge height (H) and volume of the graft (V) to be as 3.02 ± 1.35 mm at baseline (H0), 15.18 ± 2.5...
