A retrospective study on periodontal disease progression in private practice

Abstract

Good overall stability and a small tooth loss rate were observed in this cohort of chronic periodontitis cases under SPT in private practice. Patient-based and tooth-based prognosis systems may be used to estimate the risk of tooth loss.

The effect of horizontal and vertical furcation involvement on molar survival: A retrospective study

“…Most previous studies investigating the different effects of degree of FI on tooth loss had concluded that a gradient effect exists increasing from degree I to II and then to III (Dannewitz et al., ; Graetz et al., ; Johansson, Johansson, & Ravald, ; McGuire & Nunn, ; Salvi et al., ). A meta‐analysis of this association concluded that RR of tooth loss was approximately 1.67 for degree II versus I, 1.83 for III versus II and 3.13 for degree III versus I (Nibali et al., ). In the present study, the breakdown of extraction by FI was 1.4%, 7.9%, 12.8% and 8.1%, respectively, for molars with no FI, degree I, degree II and degree III FI during SPT.…”

“…Clinical and radiographic data from all patients and all patient visits were obtained and analysed as described before (Nibali et al., ). Dichotomous full‐mouth plaque scores (FMPS) (Guerrero et al., ), full‐mouth PPD, recession (REC) of the gingival margin from the cemento‐enamel junction (CEJ), bleeding on probing (FMBS) (Guerrero et al., ), tooth mobility (Laster, Laudenbach, & Stoller, ) and horizontal FI (Hamp, Nyman, & Lindhe, ) were measured at baseline, end of active periodontal therapy (APT) and at the last study visit.…”

Radiographic morphology of intrabony defects in the first molars of patients with localized aggressive periodontitis: Comparison with health and chronic periodontitis

“…Periapical radiographs of 29 consecutive patients with chronic periodontitis included in a retrospective study were analysed. Ethics approval for the retrospective analysis had been sought from the London and City Ethics Committee, which gave permission for the study to be carried out as service evaluation (reference 14 LO 0629).…”

Success in periodontology: An evolutive concept

“…When only flap for reattachment was used, the documented tooth loss during supportive therapy was 0.1 t/y over 18 years (Graetz et al, ). A loss of 0.08 t/y was reported over 10 years (Muzzi et al, ), and an overall rate of loss of 0.06 t/y was noted in seven years (Nibali et al, ). A total rate of tooth loss of 0.05 t/y was shown over 10 years (Chambrone & Chambrone, ).…”
