Abstract

Introduction: The treatment of advanced periodontitis has been a challenge for clinicians. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate that contains various growth factorss and cytokines that promote tissue regeneration. The use of PRF in combination with other regenerative materials and techniques has been shown to be effective in the treatment of intrabony defects. This case series aims to evaluate the efficacy of PRF combinations in the regenerative treatment of patients with advanced periodontitis. Case report: Two patients diagnosed with advanced periodontitis (stage III/IV grade C) were selected for this study. After the completion of periodontal initial therapy, there were still pockets with a probing depth ≥ 5 mm (5–10 mm). Therefore, surgical interventions were planned. The first case used the combination of PRF with bone graft and guided tissue regeneration (GTR), while open flap debridement (OFD) with the addition of PRF and bone graft to create sticky bone was done in the second case. Three to five months of follow-up showed favorable outcomes, as evidenced by reductions in probing depth (PD), gains in clinical attachment level, and filling of bone defects, as well as improvements in patient comfort and rapid wound healing. Conclusion: The combination of PRF with grafting material and/or GTR has been shown to be a beneficial therapeutic approach for periodontal regenerative therapy. Platelet-rich fibrin in periodontal surgery may accelerate the tissue healing process.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of teeth supporting tissue caused by a group of specific microorganism that causes progressive damage to the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Periodontal pocket is one of the most important clinical features of periodontal disease. This case report aims to evaluate the results of curettage in periodontitis cases with different stages and grades. Case reports: This report consists of two cases. The first case is a 41-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of gum bleeding during brushing and tooth mobility. Intraoral examination showed gingival redness and swelling, positive papillary bleeding index (PBI) in all regions, and an OHI-S score of 3.16 (poor). A probing depth of 4-5 mm was present on the upper right canine and the lower left central incisor. Gingival recession of 1 mm was also present on the upper right canine. Radiographic examination showed horizontal bone defect that reached the cervical third of the root on the upper right canine and the middle third of the root on the lower left central incisor. The second case is a 61-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of tooth hypersensitivity and tooth mobility since three years ago. Intraoral examination showed gingival redness and swelling with positive PBI in all regions. Oral Hygiene Index- Simplified (OHI-S) score was 3.6 (poor). A probing depth of 4-5 mm and gingival recession was present on both lower left incisors. Grade 1 tooth mobility was also present on the lower left central incisor. Radiographic examination showed horizontal bone defect reaching the apical third of the root. Curettage was performed for both cases after a thorough scaling and root planing. Conclusion: Curettage as a treatment for patients with chronic periodontitis after 4 weeks shows an improvement of patient’s Oral Hygiene Index - Simplified (OHI-S) score and reduced probing depth.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontitis are the most prevalent human diseases. Diabetes worsens the periodontal condition, but periodontitis also hampers glycemic control in diabetic patients. Based on staging and grading, the latest periodontitis classification puts DM as one of the grade modifiers. Periodic periodontal maintenance prevents reinfection and could help people with diabetes maintain effective glycemic control. Dental health education and periodontal disease awareness are crucially needed for diabetic patients, especially during the pandemic. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between levels of awareness and knowledge of periodontitis in diabetic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A closed-ended questionnaire was distributed to new patients referred to the Periodontology Clinic of the Dental Hospital of Universitas Indonesia. Patients' data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic from January to June 2021. Results: Eighty-four patients participated, of which 34.5 % were diabetic patients with periodontitis. Statistically, significant differences (P < 0.05) were found between levels of awareness and knowledge of periodontitis among diabetic patients and nondiabetic patients (both groups are suffering periodontitis). Awareness and knowledge of periodontitis are inversely correlated with their current clinical periodontal status, therefore patients with less awareness and knowledge have more severe periodontitis. Conclusion: Lack of awareness and knowledge of periodontitis was found among both nondiabetic and diabetic periodontitis patients. Dental health education is required to improve understanding and awareness of the relationship between periodontitis and DM.
