A combined peri-implant plastic surgery approach for implants in the esthetic zone using a novel technique: A series of 10 cases

Conclusions: In implant rehabilitation, in cases where there are insufficient hard and soft tissues in the esthetic zone, a combined peri-implant plastic surgery approach not only enables the ideal implant position where both function and esthetics are ensured but also provides effective protection of peri-implant tissue health.

Amoxicillin/metronidazole associated with nonsurgical therapy did not promote additional benefits in immunologic parameters in generalized aggressive periodontitis: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Conclusion: It can be concluded that amoxicillin/ metronidazole associated with nonsurgical therapy promotes an additional PPD reduction in the treatment of GAgP; however, this therapy did not promote additional benefits in the evaluated immunologic parameters. (Source: Quintessence International)

Tricks to Saving Your Teeth and Your Wallet in the End

Dear Nurse Katz, I just graduated and I am trying to stay healthy and avoid going into medical debt.

Taking evidence-based advice

Tension exists today between those who tout autonomy of thought and action as the highest good and those who seek to impose population-wide solutions to problems based on evidence from rigorous scientific investigation. Studies show that older Americans treated aggressively to control blood pressure to 120 mm Hg or less have a diminished risk of stroke and heart attack with no adverse risk of injury from falls caused by medication compared to those whose target blood pressure is 140 mm Hg. As a result, a lower blood pressure goal is appropriate for the majority of the population over age 50 years based on scientific evidence. (Source: Dental Abstracts)

Teeth lost to disease, injury, or congenital tooth agenesis are often replaced by dental implants, with this option widely incorporated into everyday dental practice. As a result, patients have enjoyed major improvements in oral health, better function, better esthetics, and improved phonetics compared to previous outcomes. However, gathering research is exposing the adverse outcomes associated with implants. Among these are biological complications and the unpredictability of implant therapy. Is it time to revisit saving teeth as a viable option rather than simply placing implants? (Source: Dental Abstracts)
