Latest Clinically Applicable Periodontal Researches

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy has shown promising results when used an adjunctive therapy during the treatment of periodontitis. It enhances the bacterial killing esp Porhyromonas gingivalis and deactivates its enzymes. It also diminishes the host cytokines that impair healing.(1)
Diabetic patients under proper glycemic control can receive implants and show successful osteointegration, similar to normal individuals. The serum glycemic level and Hb A1c should be in the normal range for the success of implant osseointegration. (2)

Iron deficiency anemia in female patient is not a direct risk factor for periodontal diseases. (3)

Combined regenerative therapy  is very successful approach in the treatment of human mandibular classII furcation involvements. The combined regenerative therapy consists of a composite graft consisting of bioabsorbable hydroxyapatite and tetracycline (3:1), a guided tissue regeneration barrier, and a coronally advanced flap. (4)

Biphasic Calcium Composite a novel material proves to be equivalent to Autogenous Bone Graft and superior to Simple Flap Operation with debridement in the treatment of intrabony periodontal defects or Vertical Bone Loss. (5)
