Periodontal Intrabony Defects and the Treatment with Enamel Matrix Derivative

Image
The intrabony defects are considered the main consequence of periodontal disease, presenting itself as a challenge to the clinician. These represent locations that, if untreated, are at an increased risk for disease progression. Although resection surgery has been used a treatment option to their elimination, the treatment of choice is periodontal regeneration . Reports of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) as a periodontal procedure appeared more than 20 years ago. The rationale behind this therapy is to achieve regeneration of tooth supporting structures, or cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. This is different from conventional periodontal surgery that achieves healing by repair. Another way to approach periodontal regeneration is to mimic the process that occurs during development of periodontal tissues. After the discovery of the presence of a layer of enamel matrix between the peripheral dentin and cementum underdevelopment, along with the ability of this ...

Effects of Caffeine on Salivation

Image
Introduction: Saliva has an important homeostatic role in the oral cavity. Hyposalivation can lead to diseases such as caries and mucous membrane candidiasis as well as difficulties in speech, mastication and deglutition. Like all exocrine secretions, salivary production is under the control of the autonomic nervous system, but physical factors such as hypovolemia and dehydration can also playa role . Thus, various systemic conditions, medications, and psychological factors can affect salivary output . Caffeine, a natural derivative of coffee beans and tea leaves, is a methylxanthine with proven activity on the central nervous system and the smooth muscle cells of the cardiac, respiratory and digestive organs. Its effects mostly parallel the adrenergic pathway and include increased arterial blood pressure and cardiac output, and decreased gastrointestinal muscle tone. Following this teleological path, it would be expected that caffeine had a significant, dose-dependent effect...

Herbal Formulation (Tooth Paste): Anti-Precancerous Properties

Image
Toothpaste can be employed as a vehicle to improve and prevent oral health of individuals and population. Different modalities of treatment are offered for different dental and oral diseases, but the major drawback of these conventional drug therapies are side effects associated with their use. This has led to the interest in the discovery of novel anti-infective natural compounds. The formulation is based on polyherbal extracts which display no side effects on the oral cavity as well as other body organs. To confirm the performance of thetoothpaste formulation, the technology (Oral Sure, Orange Herbs Pvt Ltd, India) was evaluated in vivo on 20 patients (oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, submucous fibrosis and erythroplakia). Valid diagnostic tests were evaluated for diagnosing oral pre-cancerous lesions. Pain control and lesion healing were the two main clinical variables for evaluating improvement of oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus and oral submucous fibrosis. B...
