ConclusionsThe study indicated that smoking and a prior history of periodontitis were important risk factors for increased severity of peri?implantitis, while concomitant presence of these two risk factors did not further increase the severity of peri?implantitis, as compared to either of these two risk factors alone. Therefore, early diagnosis and adequate treatment of peri?implantitis are important in patients with a prior history of periodontitis and in smokers to minimize the risk of advanced peri?implantitis in conjunction with focus on known risk factors, including meticulous infection control before implant treatment and a systematic maintenance care program.

Conclusion No lesions were shown in the area of application of ProSeal. The other materials did not sufficiently protect the enamel; however, a protective effect of all materials was obvious when comparing the bracket-periphery with the adjacent untreated enamel. Additionally, the area of SEP application showed almost always a significantly less demineralization in comparison to that found on the adjacent untreated enamel. Clinical relevance The bracket-periphery was not always sufficiently protected. The adjacent untreated enamel did not benefit from the bracket-periphery treatment.

A cross sectional study was carried out using a questionnaire with dentists (n = 276) in Pelotas, southern Brazil.

Cast metal posts (24.53%), glass fiber posts (20.75%) and resin cement (66.67%) were the most commonly selected materials. In relation to rubber dams, 93.05% …
