Does a combination of platelet ‐rich plasma and decalcified freeze‐dried bone allograft offer advantages over decalcified freeze‐dried bone allograft alone when using pocket depth and clinical attachment level as markers for periodontal healing? A literature review
The objectives were to primarily evaluate changes in clinical attachment level (CAL) and secondarily changes in pocket depth (PD). A search was performed of electr onic databases (Medline, PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science), as well as hand searching and reference list searching. Only randomized, controlled trials published up until 30 March 2018 were included that had a follow‐up period of at least 6 mon ths. Four papers met the eligibility criteria and were critically appraised using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement and put through the Cochra...

Qualitative assessment of published studies on pulpotomy medicaments for primary molar teeth
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to perform a qualitative assessment of published clinical studies, using the Medline database between 2006 and 2016, on commonly used pulpotomy medicaments. Standardized criteria proposed by Fuks and Papagiannoulis in 2006 was used by three independent examiners who assessed a total of 64 studies and graded the papers as grades A (38 ‐42), B1 (32‐37), B2 (25‐31), or C (<25) based on the score obtained. Dropout rates were calculated based on the initial sample and the final sample used for analysis. Only three papers were grade A, two of which were parts of the same clinical...

Influence of psychological stress exposure on orthodontic therapy: A comprehensive review
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to comprehensively review the influence of psychological stress exposure (PSE) on orthodontic therapy (OT). Original clinical and experimental studies were assessed. Quality assessment of experimental studies was performed using the Animal Research Reporting In Vivo Experiment (ARRIVE) guidelines. Six studies (2 clinical and 4 experimental) were included. One clinical study showed that PSE during OT significantly increases nickel release from orthodontic appliances into the saliva. In another study, maternal support was found to be an important predictor of the outcome of OT. In one...

Detection of herpes viruses in Ghanaian patients with periodontitis
ConclusionWe found HSV ‐1 and EBV in the subgingival plaque samples of Ghanaian patients clinically diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis. While our finding requires further investigation, the role of HSV in periodontitis, if elucidated, could transform and inform the clinical management of the condition.

Clinical performance of one ‐piece zirconia dental implants: A systematic review
AbstractThe aim of the present review was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic performance of one ‐piece zirconia implants (O‐PZI). This review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis) guidelines that addressed the following focused question: What is the overall clinical and radiographic performance of O‐PZI? The MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Ce ntral Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register databases were searched. Six clinical studies were included. For studies evaluating O‐PZI compared with one‐piece titanium implants, zirco...

Anatomical, microbiological, and genetic considerations in treatment of Chinese periodontal patients
AbstractThe aim of the present narrative review was to highlight considerations when treating Chinese patients with periodontal diseases. These considerations can be broadly categorized into anatomical, microbiological, and genetic considerations. Anatomical considerations are tooth ‐related factors causing site‐specific issues, and these include incisal palatal groove, root concavities, three‐rooted permanent mandibular first molar, furcation entrance dimensions, cervical enamel projections, root trunk length, and molar root fusion.Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans was found to be commensal in the oral flora of ...

Silver deposition on demineralized dentine surface dosed by silver diammine fluoride with different saliva
ConclusionThe amount of silver found in dentine was in proportion to the concentration of SDF. Extrapolation of in vitro investigations using artificial saliva for SDF tooth interactions should be interpreted with caution. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Radiographic characteristics of mesiodens in a non ‐syndromic pediatric population in the Black Sea region
ConclusionThe management of mesiodens can be performed using three methods: (a) spontaneous eruption; (b) early intervention; and (c) delayed intervention. However, the management of mesiodens should be evaluated on an individual basis to determine the best treatment method. Mesiodens ‐associated complications should be addressed prior to the lateral incisors erupting. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)
