Periodontal regeneration: is it still a goal in clinical periodontology?
CIRELLI,Joni Augusto; FIORINI,Tiago; MOREIRA,Carlos Heitor Cunha; MOLON,Rafael Scaf de; DUTRA,Tamires Pereira; SALLUM,Enílson AntonioAbstract In the last decades, Periodontal Regeneration has been one of the most discussed topics in Periodontics, attracting the attention of researchers and clinicians. This can be justified by the evident and continuous progress observed in the field, characterized by a better understanding of the biological mechanisms involved, significant improvement of operative and technical principles, and the emergence ...
Oral health status of schoolchildren living in rural and urban areas in souther...
DALLA NORA,Ângela; DALMOLIN,Andressa; GINDRI,Larissa D’Olanda; MOREIRA,Carlos Heitor Cunha; ALVES,Luana Severo; ZENKNER,Júlio Eduardo do AmaralAbstract This study assessed the effect of area of residence (rural vs. urban) on dental caries experience among southern Brazilian schoolchildren. This cross-sectional survey was conducted in Rosário do Sul, southern Brazil, and included 373 9–14-year-old schoolchildren attending public municipal schools (122 living in the rural area, and 251, in the urban area). Data collection included a questionnaire and a ...
Combined effect of end-rounded versus tapered bristles and a dentifrice on plaq...
CAPOROSSI,Leonardo Stephan; DUTRA,Danilo Antonio Milbradt; MARTINS,Maritieli Righi; PROCHNOW,Emilia Pithan; MOREIRA,Carlos Heitor CunhaAbstract Two previous clinical studies evaluated the effect of end-rounded versus tapered bristles of soft manual brushes on the removal of plaque and gingival abrasion. However, the combined effect of an abrasive dentifrice on these outcomes has yet to be understood. The purpose of the present study was to compare the incidence of gingival abrasion and the degree of plaque removal obtained after the use of too...
Dental flossing as a diagnostic method for proximal gingivitis: a validation study
GRELLMANN,Alessandra Pascotini; KANTORSKI,Karla Zanini; ARDENGHI,Thiago Machado; MOREIRA,Carlos Heitor Cunha; DANESI,Cristiane CademartoriABSTRACT This study evaluated the clinical diagnosis of proximal gingivitis by comparing two methods: dental flossing and the gingival bleeding index (GBI). One hundred subjects (aged at least 18 years, with 15% of positive proximal sites for GBI, without proximal attachment loss) were randomized into five evaluation protocols. Each protocol consisted of two assessments with a 10-minute interval between them: f...

ARDAIS,Rodrigo; MÁRIO,Ticiane de Góes; BOLIGON,Jociana; KANTORSKI,Karla Zanini; MOREIRA,Carlos Heitor CunhaThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of smoking on response to nonsurgical periodontal therapy using the primary outcome measure of bleeding on probing (BoP). An periodontist performed periodontal therapy on 11 smokers and 14 never smokers with periodontitis. Two examiners assessed visible plaque index, gingival bleeding index, probing pocket depth (PPD), BoP, suppuration on probing and clinic...
