    Notes: Abstract Citric acid conditioning of the root surface as a supplement to replaced flap surgery of intraosseous periodontal defects was evaluated, Thirteen patients and a total of 45 proximal defects with residual probing pocket depth ≥ 6 mm after initial preparation were used. The effect of treatment was studied in matched subsamples of the total material including one acid-treated and one nonacid-treated defect from each subject, The results demonstrated that an average gain of probing attachment level amounting to 2.0 mm was obtained following acid treatment as compared to 1.l–1.2 mm for the nonacid-treated controls. Corresponding figures for gain of probing bone level were 1.2–1.3 mm for acid treatment and 0.8–0.9 mm for controls. The clinical significance of these findings was discussed.

    Notes: Abstract This study was designed to investigate, using 6 beagle dogs, the levels of selected putative pathogens in healthy sites, in gingivitis sites, and in sites with histologically confirmed attachment loss. Levels of attachment loss increased with increasing periods of ligation and reached a maximum of 0.15 mm at 57 days. Both histological attachment level and histological pocket depth were found to vary significantly with health/disease status (P〈0.0001). Higher numbers of total colony-forming units were seen for ligated sites than for healthy and gingivitis sites. Levels of Purphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia also changed significantly with health/disease status (p〈0.001). These organisms showed their greatest increases at the time of the most intense attachment loss. Higher levels of Fusobaeterium nucleatum were seen in the gingivitis sites than in healthy or Heated sites. Low levels of Campylobacter rectus and Capnocytophaga spp. were detected throughout. The morphometric microbiological analysis revealed unexpectedly high %s of motile rods, while spirochetes were found in very low %s. The total number of bacterial cells detected using phase contrast microscopy was not found to vary significantly. None of the morphotypes were demonstrated as showing significant changes with health/disease status.

    Notes: Abstract 3 triclosan-containing dentifrices were compared in a 6-month, un-supervised tooth brushing study. The effects on plaque, gingival bleeding and certain salivary micro-organisms (mutans streptococci, lactobacilli, total counts of streptococci and total counts of micro-organisms) were evaluated. 123 subjects were divided into 4 groups according to severity of gingival bleeding index. 112 subjects completed the study. Following a 4-week pre-experimental period, using a sodium monofluorophosphate dentifrice (placebo), the subjects were assigned to use one of 3 triclosan-containing dentifrices, available on the Swedish market: Colgate Paradent (a triclosan/copolymer dentifrice) (n=26); Pepsodent Gum Health (a triclosan/zinc citrate dentifrice) (n=31); Dentosal Friskt Tandkött (a triclosan/pyrophosphate dentifrice) (n=28); or to continue with the placebo (n=21). The results revealed that Colgate Paradent reduced baseline plaque values by 39% (Quigley and Hein) over the 6-month experimental period. The corresponding values for the other modalities were: a reduction of 6% for Pepsodent Gum Health, an increase of 5% for Dentosal Friskt Tandkött. and an increase of 2% for placebo. A significant difference in the plaque levels (p〈0.05) was found between Colgate Paradent and Pepsodent Gum Health and between Colgate Paradent and placebo. The gingival bleeding index was improved in all 4 groups. A significant difference (p〈0.05) was found with respect to bleeding between Colgate Paradent and placebo (p〈0.05) at the 3-month registration. A statistically significant increase over time in total number of streptococci and total colony forming units were found for the Dentosal, Pepsodent and placebo groups, but not for Colgate. To conclude, this study seems to verify that a dentifrice containing a combination of triclosan and copolymer is effective in reducing supra-gingival plaque formation and gingival bleeding without causing major shifts in the salivary microflora.

    Notes: Abstract. The prevalence of 18 selected bacterial species was assessed by means of “checkerboard” DNA-DNA hybridisation in a group of 12 Saudi-Arabian adolescents with Papillon-Lefévre syndrome. A total of 36 tooth sites were investigated. The patients exhibited severe periodontal disease with deep pockets. All 12 patients harboured the putative bacterial pathogens P. intermedia, F. nucleatum, P. micros and S. intermedius while T. denticola, B. forsythus, P. nigrescens, E. corrodens, S. noxia and C. rectus were recovered from 11 patients. P. gingivalis was recovered from 9 patients and 18 sites while corresponding figures for A. actinomycetemcomitans were 8 and 19, respectively A number of the investigated species (B. forsythus, T. denticola, P. intermedia, C. rectus) reached high levels (≥106 cells) in more than 1/2 of the patients. On the other hand, bacteria such as A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingiyalis were infrequently encountered at high levels in these subgingival samples. In conclusion, the analysis failed to demonstrate a PLS-specific profile of the subgingival infection, since the bacterial composition of the sampled sites closely resembled that characterising deep pockets in adult periodontitis patients.

    Notes: Abstract. Experimental periodontitis was induced using ligatures in 6 beagle dogs over 57 days. Levels of elastase like activity in healthy sites, gingivitis sites, and in sites ligated for different time points were analyzed with respect to levels of histologically confirmed attachment loss. Attachment loss increased with increasing periods of ligation and reached a maximum of 0.15 mm at 57 days. Maximum loss of histological attachment was found to coincide with the period of maximum enzyme activity; during the first 7 days of ligature. Spearman correlation analysis of enzyme activity with attachment loss yielded a significant correlation (0.73, p=0.0396). The healthy and gingivitis sites were found to have minimal levels of enzyme activity throughout. Thus, this prospective study in beagle dogs found a relationship between histologically confirmed attachment loss and increased levels of elastase like activity indicating the probable usefulness of this parameter, either alone or in conjunction with other markers, for disclosing active periodontitis.

    Notes: Background: Limited subject-based information exists on the relationship between clinical and radiographic periodontal data.Aims: To use subject-based data to assess the extent of concurrence between clinical and radiographic information, and to study what clinical information best predicts alveolar bone loss (ABL).Material and Methods: Subject-based data on smoking habits, bleeding on probing, plaque scores, pocket probing depth (PD), and evidence of alveolar BL were obtained, and functional periodontal pentagon risk diagrams (PPRDs) were studied from 168 consecutive subjects attending a medical clinic.Results: The mean age of the subjects was 62.7 years (SD±9.0). The average number of teeth was 21.3 (SD±8.0) with on average 5.6 molars remaining (SD± 3.9). In this subject cohort, 33.1% had never smoked, 44.2% had quit smoking, and 22.7% were currently smokers. Mean plaque and bleeding scores were high or 60.2% (SD±24.0) and 53.1% (SD±23.6), respectively. PDs 〈inlineGraphic alt="geqslant R: gt-or-equal, slanted" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:03036979:JCPE469:ges" location="ges.gif"/〉6.0 mm were found in 55.9% of the subjects. Binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that tooth loss and proportional plaque scores were the predominant factors included in the equations associated with ABL. Wald coefficients varied between 3.99 and 9.15, and with p-values between 0.05 and 0.01. When included, the PPRD score became the exclusive factor at several cut-off levels (Wald's coefficients between 19.8 and 15.6, p〈0.001). Consequently, the best receiver operator curve was identified for the PPRD at the 〉40% cut-off ABL level (area under the curve: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.74–0.89; p〈0.001).Conclusions: The number of teeth lost and the proportion of plaque scores provided significant predictive factors for ABL. The functional PPRD demonstrated an exclusive and highly predictable association with ABL. Subject-based proportional data for PDs 〉4.0 mm provided poor substitute measures for the extent of ABL.

    Notes: Background/aim: Conventional mechanical periodontal treatment of Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) has often been reported to fail. This study describes the outcome of a non-surgical periodontal therapy including antimicrobial treatment of nine patients diagnosed with PLS. The patients originate from a total of 15 children and adolescents with PLS for which clinical characteristics are presented.Methods: Clinical examination including conventional periodontal measurements. Initial treatment including oral hygiene instruction, scaling and root planing and systemic amoxicillin–metronidazole therapy for 6 weeks. After that the patients were enrolled in a 3-month recall maintenance program. In addition to this mechanical supportive maintenance treatment, tetracycline was prescribed and used continuously for 1.5 years.Results/Conclusion: On five patients who were showing acceptable standard of oral hygiene and also compliance with the antibiotic medication, development of periodontitis on erupting teeth was prevented and disease activity on the previously periodontally involved teeth controlled during a 3-year period. Poor results of treatment were observed for three patients, all siblings. These patients failed to comply with the medication and also failed to improve their oral hygiene.

    Notes: Background:  Chronic periodontitis affects many adults. Initial cause related therapy (ICRT) is aimed at elimination of factors causing disease progression.Objectives:  To use a systematic review process of peer reviewed publications to assess the predictive value of residual probing depths (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and furcation involvement (FI) in determining further loss of attachment and tooth loss following ICRT.Material and Methods:  An electronic search of the Cochrane Oral Health Group specialized register, MEDLINE and EMBASE, was performed using specific search terms to identify studies assessing the predictive value of residual probing depths (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and furcation involvement (FI) in determining further loss of attachment and tooth loss following ICRT.Results:  The searches resulted in 941 uniquely identified studies. Titles and abstracts were then independently screened by two reviewers (S.R. and G.R.P.) to identify publications that met specific inclusion criteria. The agreement between the reviewers was assessed and statistical analysis failed to demonstrate a difference between the two reviewers (κ-value: 0.94, P = 0.003). Detailed review of 47 included publications resulted in acceptance of one publication which utilized data based on patient as unit of observation. This study included 16 subjects over 42 months demonstrating that residual probing depths are predictive of further disease progression whereas persisting bleeding on probing are not.Conclusions:  Data based on one study suggest that residual probing depths are predictive of further disease progression. The implications for carefully designed multicentre randomized clinical control trials are many.

    Notes: Aim: The purpose of the present study was to perform a review using a systematic approach to evaluate the long-term (〈inlineGraphic alt="geqslant R: gt-or-equal, slanted" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:03036979:JCPE708:ges" location="ges.gif"/〉5 years) success of implants placed in partially edentulous patients with a history of periodontitis as evidenced by loss of supporting bone and implant loss.Material & Methods: An electronic search of the National Library of Medicine, Washington DC (Medline-PubMed) was performed using specific search terms to identify studies assessing, in periodontitis patients, the success of implants with regard to bone level outcomes. Search was performed on abstracts registered up to October 2003.Results: The searches identified 877 abstracts. Titles and abstracts were independently screened by two reviewers (G.A.W. & K.M.B.) to identify publications that met the inclusion criteria. Review of these abstracts resulted in 13 publications for detailed review. These papers were reviewed by the three authors. Finally four papers which met the criteria of eligibility were independently selected by the three reviewers.Conclusion: Based on the limited data, it seems justified to conclude that the outcome of implant therapy in periodontitis patients may be different compared to individuals without such a history as evidenced by loss of supporting bone and implant loss.

    Notes: This study was designed to study wound strength at the dentine/connective tissue interface and at the bone/connective tissue interface following full thickness flap surgery. Flaps of uniform dimension were outlined in four young adult beagle dogs using a standardised double bladed knife and vertical incisions 10 mm apart, which extended 8 mm apical to the gingival margin. Bone was removed from half the sites (eight sites in each dog), giving 32 flaps replaced on dentine and 32 sites on bone. A tensile force was applied using a microprocessor force gauge at 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 days. Mean tensile strengths were markedly weaker for the dentine/flap interface. At 7 days the value for flaps to dentine was 1.82 N, in contrast to 5.08 N for flaps replaced on bone. Inflammatory cell counts tended to fall markedly at 3 days for both modalities, but were higher for the dentine/flap modality at all time points. Fibroblast density peaked at 7–14 days but did not vary with type of flap over the time points studied. The amounts of fibrin were greater for the dentine/flap interface at all time points but decreased for both flap types as time progressed. Collagen type V was localised to the basement membrane and blood vessels and tended to show more foci for flaps replaced on dentine. Procollagen levels showed little change over the healing interval for both flap/bone and flap/dentine interfaces. Type III collagen synthesis was at peak levels during the first week. These findings would support efforts to stabilise periodontal flaps at early time points, especially those on dentine.
