“…Higher mean CI resulted in net disease progression occurring some 7-8 years earlier than for low mean CI. This points to the importance of calculus as a plaque retaining and promoting factor (Waerhaug 1956), the regular removal of which appears of utmost importance even in this dentally-aware and well-maintained patient cohort.…”

Background: The factors associated with initial periodontitis are not well understood and cannot be identified by cross-sectional studies. Aim: To identify the factors associated with the initiation of chronic periodontitis using ante-dependence modelling. Material & Methods: A 26-year longitudinal study of the natural history of periodontitis served as the basis for the study. In 1969, 565 Norwegian men aged 16 to 34 years were surveyed. Subsequent surveys were performed in 1971, 1973, 1975, 1981, 1988 and finally, in 1995 with 223 subjects remaining. Plaque (PlI), Gingival (GI) and Calculus Indices (CI), and loss of attachment were recorded. Ante-dependence modelling using a Markov chain enabled the results of this sequence of examinations to be analyzed longitudinally taking into account serial dependence, describing temporal changes in patients' levels of disease and allowing for both progression and regression between disease categories. Results: As age increased, the rate of disease regression decreased. Increasing calculus accumulation and smoking increased the rate of disease progression, while increasing GI increased the rate of regression. Conclusions: Increased mean CI and smoking were significant predictive covariates for progression, while increased mean GI and younger age predicted regression, of initial periodontitis.

“…Bacterial plaque and calculus are recognized etiological agents in the initiation and progression of periodontal disease (1), and their accumulation and attachment are facilitated by a roughened root surface (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). Scaling and root planing to produce smooth root surfaces, together with brushing instructions, are thus an essential component in both treatment and prevention of periodontal disease (7).…”

Comparison of the effects of various periodontal rotary instruments on surface characteristics of root surface

The efficacy of scaling and root planing using various periodontal rotary instruments was examined. Eighty extracted human teeth with a history of periodontal disease were divided into four groups of 20 and subjected to one of the following procedures: Use of 1) a Root Burnisher, 2) a Perio Planing Bur (both rotating instruments for contra angle handpieces), 3) a Tooth Planing Bur (rotating instrument for use with an air turbine), or 4) a Gracey Scaler. In each case, the time required for cleaning was measured. Twenty healthy extracted human teeth were used as untreated controls. After treatment, the surface roughness of 10 specimens out of each group were measured using a profilometer and observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Half of the samples were then incubated in dishes with a suspension of fibroblasts. After counting the number of attached cells, the attachment of fibroblasts was observed by SEM. The root surfaces treated with the rotary instruments appeared smooth and there were no significant differences between groups. From the SEM observations, smooth root surfaces with different surface textures were evident and a tight attachment of fibroblasts was observed. The results of this study suggest that use of rotary instruments is superior for periodontal scaling and root planing. (J. Oral Sci. 46, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] 2004)

“…However, it is well known that bacteria play an important role in the development of subgingival inflammation adjacent to restorations. 23 It can be postulated that the location of the restoration margin plays a secondary role in periodontal inflammation if the tooth-restoration interface presents correct contour, adaptation,and smoothness. 15 Studies on implants can properly illustrate this idea because they show that healthy and stable peri-implantar tissues can be found even in cases when the implant-abutment connection is located under the bone level.…”

External cervical root resorption (ECRR) is the loss of dental hard tissue as a result of odontoclastic action. It usually begins on the cervical region of the root surface of teeth. Lesions are frequently misdiagnosed and confused with caries and internal resorption. As a result, inappropriate treatment is often initiated. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are the keys to a successful outcome. The etiology of ECRR is mainly trauma, orthodontic treatment or idiopathic factors. The aim of this study is to describe a combined surgical-periodontal-endodontic-restorative treatment of an external cervical resorption Heithersay Class III case with ECRR of idiopathic nature on tooth #43. Treatment was combined: surgical-periodontal treatment exposed the resorptive defect, followed by surgical removal of inflammatory tissue, restorative treatment using resin-modified glass ionomer cement and endodontic therapy because of the necrotic pulp. After 12 months of clinical and radiographic control, recurrence of resorptive lesion was non-existent.
