“…Periodontal pocket depth (PPD) was examined using a handheld periodontal probe (UNC 15, Hu-Friedy ® , Chicago, IL, USA) at six sites. Classified teeth diagnosed with EPP showed no viability when tested with faradic current (PEm-1-type pulpoendometer) and ethyl chloride [19]. In addition, the study teeth were checked with Periotest M (Medizintechnik Gulden ® , Modautal, Germany) in both groups before and after treatment.…”

Marginal and periapical periodontal diseases cause massive destruction of tooth tissues and surrounding tissues, such as alveolar bone and maxillary sinus floor, visible on radiographs. Lesions involving the apical and marginal periodontium are endo−perio (EPL) lesions. This study aimed to compare the treatment efficacy of endo−perio lesions using a standard treatment protocol and a standard diode laser-assisted treatment protocol. The 12 patients were divided into the study (a) and control (b) group. Periodontal indices, tooth vitality and mobility, occlusal status, and radiographic diagnosis were evaluated. Standard EPL treatment was then performed—without (a) and with (b) the use of diode laser (940 nm). Again, after six months, the above-mentioned parameters were evaluated and compared. The treatment of endo−perio lesions is a significant challenge for modern dentistry. Diode lasers are increasingly used in addition to traditional treatment methods. The conventional use of a 940 nm diode laser with an average power of 0.8 W in pulsed mode allows for the depth of periodontal pockets to be reduced. In addition, the use of a diode laser has a significant effect on tooth mobility and reduces bone loss.

“…The management of post-surgical complications after surgical removal of LM3, as periodontal status and increased mobility of LM2, pain, swelling, trismus and temperature has been significantly improved in the last years through the use of novel techniques. Among all the new techniques, it is worth highlighting how kinesiotaping can meet with greater approval, especially in patients of developmental age, as is already known in sports and by the media [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

Germectomy is a procedure often required in patients at developmental age. It is defined as the surgical removal of the third molar at a very specific stage of development. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze the literature in terms of clinical indications for germectomy in patients at developmental age. Literature searches were performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and Scopus from 1952 to 30 June 2021. The study protocol was registered after the screening stage (PROSPERO CRD42021262949). The search strategy identified 3829 articles: 167 from PubMed, 2860 from Google Scholar, 799 from Cochrane Library and 3 from Scopus. Finally, eight full-text papers were included into the qualitative analysis. Based on the included studies, clinical indications for germectomy were mainly related to orthodontic causes, infectious and cariogenic causes and prophylaxis. Based on these results, it is not possible to present evidence-based clinical indications for germectomy in patients at developmental age. Clinical trials on this subject focused specifically on patients at developmental age are awaited.

“…These results may be explained by an increase in enamel resistance because current must flow across the thickened enamel prisms caused by DF. While literature clearly states that the thickness of enamel will have an effect on the EPT readings 25 . In fluorotic teeth, it has been proposed that the hyper-mineralized enamel and its fluoro-apatite crystals cause shifts in the dentinal fluid's ionic content or concentration.…”

Introduction: The probe placement site for an electric pulp tester. (EPT) will have a significant outcome for the threshold readings. These relationships in previous studies have been documented. As dental flourosis is an endemic in regions of Pakistan the aim of this study was to compare and determine the appropriate EPT probe placement sites on fluorotic and non flourotic teeth. Methodology: In this cross-sectional clinical study equal number of flourotic and non flourotic maxillary central incisors(40 volunteers) were selected from a known region of Pakistan for endemic of flourosis to measure threshold levels on EPT on four different parts of each tooth. (Incisal edge, incisal third, middle third and cervical third). Before the readings were taken flourotic teeth were also categorized on the bases of severity (Deans Index).The purpose was to assess if severity of dental flourosis had an impact on the EPT readings. Once the mean values were taken the Dunn–Bonferroni post hoc tests was used to assess the statistical significance (p<0.05) between the four site in both groups. Results: Mean values from the EPT presented that the threshold values increased from incisal to cervical in gender and both age groups i.e. 20-29 and 30-40. It was also found that the threshold values increased from incisal edge to the cervical third in flourotic and non flourotic teeth. Statical significance was found between the reading of flourotic and non flourotic groups across the four probe site readings taken (p value= 0.00). Like previous literature the insical edge was considered the most ideal site for EPT assessment on anterior incisors. As this is where the lowest threshold response was recorded in our study .Dental flourosis does have a significant effect on the EPT threshold values. This is most likely due to structural changes because of dental flourosis. Recommendations: From the study conducted it can be recommended that clinicians need to be aware of the fact that fluorotic teeth response will vary from natural teeth on the EPT. Also further research needs to be done to assess if other vitality test methods will also alter in their response due to dental defects like flourosis.
