Topographic characterization and in vitro biofilm adhesion to titanium and polypropylene membranes used for alveolar preservation
Conclusions: It can be concluded that despite the greater heterogeneity of the titanium membrane surface, the results showed less biofilm formation on this membrane (P < 0.05), which may be indicated in cases of oral cavity exposure. (Source: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology)

Reproducibility and validity of anterior implant esthetic indices: A review
Conclusion: Many indices have been proposed for the evaluation of the esthetic aspects of single implant-supported reconstructions in the anterior maxilla. All of them have some advantages and drawbacks that this review pointed out. The evidence level of studies used for the validation of these indices is poor. It is necessary to achieve a consensus on the tools for assessment of the esthetic aspect and perform evidence-based studies to validate an appropriate index.

Socket shield: An esthetic success ?
Farhan Durrani, Himani Painuly, Akanksha Shukla, Samidha Pandey, Rakhshinda NahidJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2020 24(3):289-294 Dental implants require adequate bone, three dimensionally, for successful osseointegration. The extraction socket changes in the dimension had been described in several studies. Implant in extraction socket cannot prevent resorption of the surrounding tissues. The bony alterations make oral esthetic implant reconstruction difficult without hard- and soft-tissue augmentation. Placement of bone substitute material and immediate implant were not able to completely establish an esthe...

Son of Sevenless-1 genetic status in an Indian family with nonsyndromic hereditary gingival fibromatosis
We report a case of a 27-year-old male patient who came to us with the complaint of enlarged gums of several years' duration. There were other members in his family who were similarly affected. After the clinical diagnosis of HGF was confirmed, the patient and his available family members were subjected to a genetic analysis for identification of mutation in SOS-1 gene, which turned out to be negative. The patient was treated with nonsurgical periodontal therapy and is under regular follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess SOS-1 mutation in an Indian family.

An aggressive pyogenic granuloma masquerading as a vascular neoplasm
We report an unusual, destructive case of PG, displaying excessive loss of blood and destruction of alveolar bone leading to the loss of maxillary anterior teeth in an 18-year-old female, compromising function and esthetics. The incisional and excisional biopsy specimen of this recurrent lesion obtained during a 5-year span was studied, which revealed an increase in vascularity and extensive proliferation of endothelial cells admixed with varying degree of inflammatory cell infiltrate. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathological diagnostic tools enabled to precisely diagnose the lesion as an aggressive variant of PG,...

A survey on the awareness of interrelationship of periodontal disease and systemic health among Mahe population
Conclusion: There is always a strong influence of oral health on systemic well-being. This link among the two is often ignored and overlooked. Oral health upholds the overall well-being of the patient. Further studies need to be conducted on large scale population and camps need to be conducted to increase the awareness among the general public of periodontal diseases and their systemic impact.
