[Peripac and Histoacryl as bandaging materials after removal of dental calculus and subgingival curettage].

Scaling and subgingival curettage were performed on the upper and lower front teeth of 25 patients in the age of 25 to 35 years. Peripac was applied to the periodontal tissue of three of the six teeth treated per subject and Histoacryl to the periodontal tissue of the other three teeth. Prior to and three months after the beginning of therapy, pocket depth, sulcus bleeding tooth mobility were determined. It was found that the use of Histoacryl as a dressing material is not a disadvantage as compared to the conventional dressing Peripac as far as therapeutic success in terms of declining pocket depth and SBI is concerned.

[Evaluation of results of subgingival curettage in periodontology].

Introductory remarks review the extensive present range of literature with reference to the aim and evaluation of the results of the curettage. One of the definitions given by the authors considers indication and aim in a general form. The authors discuss their own histological examinations after curettage with a selection of typical figures. The clincal experiences and histological results presented lead to a vast restriction of the indication of this interference.

Short term results of three modalities of periodontal treatment.

Short term data were obtained from 74 patients who recieved comprehensive periodontal treatment using a split mouth approach to test three variables; subgingival curettage, pocket elimination surgery, and modified Widman flap procedure. The patients initially had an average interproximal loss of attachment of 3.2 mm and an average interproximal pocket depth of 3.9 mm. Evaluation of the data indicate that after 4 to 6 weeks: 1. All three surgical procedures reduce pocket depths. In order of effectiveness they are: pocket elimination surgery, modified Widman flap, and subgingival curettage. 2. Pocket elimination surgery reduces pockets more than subgingival curettage on the buccal, lingual and interproximal, and more than the modified Widman flap on the lingual. The modified Widman flap procedure reduces pockets more interproximally than subgingival curettage. 3. Subgingival curettage results in a gain of attachment interproximally, and on the lingual side, while the modified Widman flap resulted in a gain of attachment interproximally only. 4 Pocket elimination surgery resulted in a loss of attachment buccally. 5 Subgingival curettage results in a more favorable postoperative attachment level on all surfaces than did pocket elimination surgery.

Results following three modalities of periodontal therapy.

Three methods for treatment of periodontal pockets (subgingival curettage, modified Widman flap surgery, and pocket elimination) were applied as a clinical trial to 82 patients. Follow up results over one to five years after the initial treatment are reported. The variations in attachment levels and pocket depth were analyzed statistically as related to methods of treatment and yearly time intervals following the initial treatment. The most favorable results regarding gain or maintenance of attachment levels and reduction of pocket depth were observed interproximally. Subgingival curettage provided the greatest gain in attachment level up to three years postoperatively, but after four to five years there was no significant difference in results following the three methods. The most significant loss of attachment and return of pocket depth occurred on the buccal aspects of the teeth, and the results were not significantly different for the three methods except at the first year of follow up when the attachment level was maintained best after curettage.

Subgingival scaling with root planing and curettage: effects upon gingival inflammation: a comparative study.

In a joint clinical and histological research, carried out in humans of both sexes, it was attempted to establish some of the differences between the effects of curettage and root planing as procedures to accomplish remission of gingival inflammation. In 10 patients, 210 teeth were treated (103 curetted and 98 root planed). Sixty useful samples and 2132 histological sections were obtained. Six different staining techniques were used to study the samples. Clinical and histological evaluations were made of the results obtained with both procedures.

Repair potential in periodontal disease: the interproximal channel.

Interproximal channeling defects associated with lingual denudation of the root are often encountered in patients with insidiously progressive chronic periodontitis. Several cases of such lesions are described and their potential for repair demonstrated. It is suggested that this type of defect is predictably amenable to successful therapy by exposure and curettage, and that restoration of lost periodontal structures can be anticipated within the interproximal portion of the lesion.

The attachment between tooth and gingival tissues after periodic root planing and soft tissue curettage.

Utilizing a nonhuman primate model, a study was carried out to determine the nature of the attachment between the tooth and the gingival tissues following periodic root planing and soft tissue curettage. Under the conditions of this investigation, periodic root planing and soft tissue curettage combined with thrice weekly plaque control resulted in the formation of a long junctional epithelium with no new connective tissue attachment. In eight of the 22 experimental pockets, however, this procedure produced discontinuities or "windows" in the junctional epithelium. The coronal attachment of gingival tissues to the root surface (increased resistance to probing) commonly reported following root planing and soft tissue curettage appears to result from the formation of a long junctional epithelium rather than new connective tissue attachment.
