The Effect of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Treatment to Healing of Orthodontically Stimulated Gingival Enlargements
Abstract: Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the healing process of gingival enlargement in adolescents with and without fixed orthodontic appliances by using erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet laser (Er,Cr:YSGG) and scaling-root planning and conventional scalpel for 3 months follow-up. Material and method: 30 patients with gingival enlargement divided in three groups were treated. Control group, without fixed orthodontic appliances, were treated mechanically by scaling-root planning and conventional scalpel only. Test …

Materials used in Periodontal Therapy for the Treatment of Intra-bony Defects
Abstract: Periodontitis is a condition that affects the supporting structures of a tooth, such as the gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Periodontitis is widespread in the American population, although most of the cases are mild to moderate in severity and are treatable by minimally invasive procedures. Intra-bony defects, which develop as manifestation of some periodontal diseases, are treated by regenerative therapy with bone grafts that initiate or facilitate the …
