The histological observation of laser biopsy versus scalpel biopsy on plasma cell gingivitis
Lakshmiganthan MahalingamJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2022 26(3):299-301 Biopsy is one of the histological diagnostic techniques used to assess cells and tissues to determine the presence and extent of a simple nonneoplastic growth to complicated malignancies. In the oral cavity, there are many techniques available to harvest the tissue, it depends on anatomical location and morphology of the lesion. In which many causes artifacts in the specimen due to poor technique and handling, which can lead to diagnostic pitfalls and misery. Laser is one of the advanced surgical tools used to harvest oral tissue with ...

Periodontal regeneration using connective tissue graft wall and xenograft with coronally advanced flap in noncontained intrabony defects: A novel combination technique
Ahmed Mohamed Elfana, Mohamed Talaat ElbehwashyJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2022 26(3):295-298 The present case report describes the novel combination of connective tissue graft (CTG) wall technique with xenograft for periodontal regeneration of extensive intrabony defects in the esthetic area. A 24-year-old female patient presented with gingival recession with mesial and distal deep bony defects at the upper lateral incisor and probing depths (PDs) of 7 and 5 mm, respectively. The surgical technique involved split-thickness buccal flap elevation, grafting the bone defects with xenograft bone substitute, se...

Development of descriptive mathematical models for different domains of gingival recession using multiple linear regression analysis
Conclusion: Diverse clinical (mean CAL, mean PD, tooth mobility, and abrasion), biological (width of attached gingiva, number of teeth present, and age), and environmental factors (type of brush and socioeconomic status) were found to have a significant association with the occurrence of GR in the North Indian population. Owing to the multifactorial etiology of GR, the identification of susceptible patients based on the presence of risk factors is an essential step in developing action plans for the prevention of the disease.

Comparative evaluation of locally delivered probiotic paste and chlorhexidine gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in treating chronic periodontitis: A split-mouth randomized clinical trial
Conclusion: Nowadays, since microbes are rapidly developing resistance to antibiotics, the development of probiotics is a boon for the treatment of periodontal diseases. Diseases of the periodontium are not restricted to the oral cavity alone but also have strong systemic effects. Hence, probiotics give a natural and promising choice of therapy to establish both good oral and systemic health. (Source: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology)
