Abstract

Objective: primary objective of periodontal therapy is to remove supra and subgingival deposits from the tooth surface to stop disease progression. The purpose of the study is to address the instrument selection and its efficacy in calculus removal. Methods: A total of 50 subjects who fulfilled the criteria were included in the study. Participants were subjected to a complete periodontal examination, and the responses from 50 dental house surgeons were compared based on the instrument design, handling characteristics, and efficacy of calculus removal by using two sets of instruments. Results: The LM instrument was rated as best (40 out of 50 participants) based on usability features like weight, the diameter of the handle, material, and surface characteristics. Handgrip, static friction, and surface characteristics features (43&7; 45&5; 40&10) were more for LM instruments when compared to Hu-friedy instruments. When compared to efficacy in calculus removal it was easy with Hu-Friedy instruments. Conclusion: Handling characteristics and efficacy of instruments depend on the design and type of material used to manufacture instruments. Cooperation between researchers, manufacturers, and experienced dental professionals is needed for an active and open-minded process during the development of dental instruments.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Titanium reinforced platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) as the sole biomaterial amongst the biologics in periodontal regeneration of both soft and hard tissues. Methods: A PUBMED database search is conducted from August 2013 to August 2023. Only original articles, including Randomized controlled clinical trials, cross-sectional studies, prospective studies, and case-control studies, were included. The studies will be analyzed regarding the outcome of the association between T-PRF and periodontal regeneration of both hard and soft tissue. Results: From 35 articles identified, 8 RCTs were included. The use of T-PRF statistically significantly reduced PD and improved CAL and Radiographic bone fill. On soft tissue regeneration, better results in terms of PPD, CAL, RGML, Recession Depth, and an increase in thickness of attached gingiva are observed. Conclusion: The use of T-PRF significantly improved clinical outcomes in hard tissue regeneration and periodontal parameters, including the soft tissue outcomes in root coverage procedures.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oxygen-releasing formula (ORF) as an adjunct in the non-surgical management of periodontal abscess in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This split-mouth clinical trial was conducted on 14 patients with periodontal abscess with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who were divided into a control group, nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) alone, and a test group (NSPT+ORF). Parameters such as Landry's healing index (HI) were evaluated at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month. Probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing presence or absence (BOP) were evaluated at baseline and 1 month. Results: There was statistical significance at one week in the test group in HI and BOP, but at 1 month, there was no statistical significance between the test and control groups. Mean PPD reduction and mean CAL gain were greater in the test group than in the control group at 1 month. Conclusion: Adjunctive use of ORF with non-surgical periodontal therapy showed promising improvements in early periodontal healing and clinical parameters in patients with T2DM. However, given the limited follow-up duration and the absence of significant intergroup differences for most outcomes, further well-designed studies are required to establish its clinical benefit.

Abstract

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a critical component of patient safety; however, ADR monitoring remains underutilized in dentistry. This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding ADR reporting among undergraduate and postgraduate students and practicing dentists. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using a structured, validated 19-item questionnaire covering socio-demographics, knowledge (6 items), attitude (4 items), and practice (5 items), which was distributed both in person and online. A total of 258 complete responses were analyzed out of 300 individuals contacted (response rate: 86%). Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were applied, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Among participants, 29% were male, and 71% were female; 29.4% were undergraduates, and 71.6% were postgraduates/practitioners. While 98% recognized the importance of ADR reporting, only 7.3% had received formal training in pharmacovigilance, and 71.7% were unaware of reporting procedures. Nearly 46.5% had encountered ADRs in clinical practice. Despite adequate knowledge and positive attitudes, actual reporting practices were limited. Conclusions: Although awareness and attitudes toward ADR reporting were favorable, significant gaps exist in formal training and reporting practices. Integrating structured pharmacovigilance education into dental curricula may enhance ADR reporting and improve patient safety outcomes.
