Peri-implantitis with exposed titanium at an anterior full-arch abutment: implantoplasty, xenograft and a connective tissue graft under a coronal flap.
Sri Lanka, 1970: Löe followed 480 labourers with no oral hygiene at all. By 45, 8% had lost every tooth and 11% almost nothing. What the data say.
Bálint Orbán fled Nazism in 1938. In Chicago he rebuilt modern periodontology. What remains today of the Vienna School.
Prevention and recalls: maintenance is statistics. The reward is patients in their eighties and nineties who still have most of their own teeth.
Chronic stress consumes the bone around the teeth through the HPA axis, cortisol, and the collapse of IL-10. The molecular mechanism, and 4 ways to break it.
Untreated periodontitis, immediate loading that flattens bone, mass extractions, re-treatments: why 'atrophic' implant cases keep surging. Atrophy we create.
Zone A (40 μm, avascular, fibroblast-rich) seals the implant. Zone B (160 μm, collagenous, vascularized) supports it. Moon et al., 1999.
Too much gum when you smile? Often the teeth are normal, just covered: passive eruption isn't finished yet. Veneers aren't the answer. What to do instead.
Severe peri-implantitis treated flapless with TST decontamination. Eight years of radiographic follow-up in a 95-year-old patient.
The mesial concavity of the maxillary first premolar is present in 65–100% of cases and worsens periodontitis. A CBCT study on 343 teeth explains why.
Osteoporosis and periodontitis share biology and risk factors: meta-analysis on 19,611 patients and the critical four-year window after menopause.
Lindhe and Ericsson (1976) demonstrate that occlusal trauma does not impair healing after periodontal surgery, provided plaque is removed.
Clinical case of severe peri-implantitis treated with TST decontamination (Ten Second Technique) and guided bone regeneration. Two-year follow-up.
Treponema denticola, Socransky's red complex spirochete: periplasmic flagella, dentilisin and tissue invasion. The bacterium that moves.
Stage III and IV periodontitis: diagnosis, non-surgical therapy, regenerative surgery. A step-by-step evidence-based treatment protocol.
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) recovers bone and periodontal attachment. Indications, technique, long-term results and clinical cases.
Pyorrhea is the outdated name for periodontitis. What it means, how it is diagnosed and treated today according to EFP guidelines.
Similarities, differences and pathogenic mechanisms between peri-implantitis and periodontitis microbiota. A literature review.
P. gingivalis from periodontitis found in Alzheimer's brains. Gingipains correlate with disease markers. Evidence and mechanisms.
Oral HPV: how it spreads, which strains cause oral lesions, the link with oropharyngeal cancer and prevention strategies.
Marriage and remaining teeth: 2025 data on 21,745 older adults. Associations, not causes. Hygiene, income and stress weigh more than a certificate.
Periodontitis and pregnancy: gingival inflammation, risk of preterm birth and low birth weight. Why oral health matters during pregnancy.
Connective tissue graft is the gold-standard fix for gum recession, rebuilding the keratinized barrier that protects exposed tooth roots.
A 2024 paper calls the Gingival Open-Wound Technique an 'innovation'. Dr. Bruschi has documented second-intention healing in implantology since 1998.
Free periodontal screening app: 2017 staging and grading diagnosis, individual risk, personalised recall intervals and AI radiograph analysis.
Manola has periodontitis. When is root planing enough, when is surgery needed, and why trust between patient and dentist quietly decides the outcome.
The JP2 genotype of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans has African roots but spread aggressive periodontitis across every continent.
A simple periodontal procedure that regenerates keratinized mucosa around implants — without grafts. Secondary intention healing, done right.
Chronic bad breath is often caused by gum disease. How periodontitis drives oral malodor through volatile sulfur compounds — and how to treat it.
How Porphyromonas gingivalis adapts to the dark of the periodontal pocket, slips inside host cells, and subverts our immune defences.
