Oral Health Problems among Diabetic Patients ? Part of Dental Professionals in Diagnostic and Therapy

Sickness-changes within the oral cavity are to be considering both as the complication of the diabetes as well as the reason of the difficulty in the metabolic compensation of the illness. Every chronic hyperglycaemia, aside from its reasons, leads to the activation of the process of not enzymatic glycation of proteins, poliolic route and the oxidative stress.
The chronic hyperglycaemia and related inflammation leads to the disturbances in the balance between the metaloproteinase system and their inhibitors (MMP/TIMP), what becomes a reason of the pathological reconstruction of the vascular wall,the proliferation of the endothelium and arteriogensis .
Inflammatory focus in the human body, including the oral cavity, can on one hand be the reason of disturbances of the metabolic control of the diabetes, from the second hand – can accelerate the development hyperglycaemia related vascular complications. 
Oral Health Problems among Diabetic Patients
Many authors think that fundamental role in the occurrence of complications plays the insufficient degree of the metabolic compensation. Other authors pay attention that also chronic changes within the oral cavity can unfavourably influence on the compensation of the diabetes.To finally evaluate described above interactions further studies are indicated .

This issue is also highlighted in the publication presented by Teeuw and co-authors. On the basis of extensive literature analysis Spanish authors formulated the conclusion that peridontal disease control can improve DM type 2 patient’s glycaemia control; on the other hand glycaemia control improvement can influence better peridontal diseases control.

Harvesting Free Palatal Masticatory Mucosal Graft Using 3a Mucotome

Image
The technique of free autogenous gingival grafting (FGG) has undergone little modification since its introduction by Bjorn in Scandinavia in 1963 and by King and Pennel inthe United States in 1964. The technique is widely used to treat a variety of mucogingival problems such as insufficient or lack of attached gingiva, the presence of high frenum attachments, shallow fornix and denuded roots following gingival recession.  FGG can be procured from donor site using scalpels, gingivectomy knife or palatal shaving knife (Paquette knife). The donor site is frequently the palate, although the use of edentulous ridge areas, tuberosity and attached gingiva has also been described. Scalpel is most commonly used and conventional method for procuring gingival auto grafts. Gingivectomy knife, although not commonly used, also works on similar principle. Since the scalpel blade is straight and stiff and the palate is curved, repeated incisions to release the graft from underlying connecti

Dental Ailments may be risky for Cardiac Patients

Image
Patients that are suffering from cardiac t=disorders are susceptible to physical and mental stress. Dental ailments add to the stress further as these patients are unable to cope with the pain due to cardiac disorders. These patients may encounter medical emergencies in case of dental disorders and they may demand multi disciplinary approach to achieve the success. Additionally, the results of cardiac surgery may suffer if the oral cavity is not maintained well since there is always a fear of infection affecting the heart from the oral cavity. Hence, the cardiac surgeon has to refer surgical patients to a dentist for oral prophylaxis and to treat any oral infections before cardiac surgery to prevent infective endocarditis. PDF LINK

Non-Instrumented Silver Point Retreatment Using the GentleWave Procedure

Image
Apicoectomies are required for endodontically treated teeth instead of the preferred non-surgical endodontic therapy when biological or technical factors necessitate this therapy. These biological or technical factors may include, but are not limited to, non-healing periapical lesions, persistent clinical symptoms, separated instruments or silver points and the presence of long posts. Success rates for apicoectomies have been reported up to 78% with as many as 4% of endodontically treated teeth requiring this type of surgery. Although success rates are relatively high, once the tooth is no longer a candidate for non-surgical endodontic treatment, the alternatives in lieu of apicoectomy are limited to extraction with no replacement or replacement with a fixed prosthesis, removable prosthesis or implant.
