An Introduction to Bioactivity via Restorative Dental Materials

Currently, the use of guided tissue regeneration is recommended to relocate the cells to a specific site to induce the desired action of regeneration. In periodontics, combining guided tissue regeneration with grafted materials can be used to treat bone defects, furcation involvement, and gingival recession (Ramseier et al. 2012). More recently, gene delivery to the affected site may provide better stability and efficient regeneration compared to delivering such protein or growth factor. The delivery of human platelet-derived growth factor-β gene is associated with greater cementum and alveolar bone regeneration compared to the delivery of platelet-derived growth factor-β factor (Jin et al. 2004). Also, the delivery of bone morphogenetic protein genes can be used to treat significant bone defects and induce bone regeneration around dental implants (Dunn et al. 2005; Jin et al. 2003). Further research is needed to investigate the advancement of proteins and gene delivery and their interactions with surrounding tissues and oral microorganisms.
Pain Management in Dentistry
Published in Mark V. Boswell, B. Eliot Cole, Weiner's Pain Management, 2005
Periodontics: Periodontics is the specialty of dentistry that encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth or their substitutes and the maintenance of the health, function, and aesthetics of these structures and tissues.

Dentistry (from the Latin dens meaning tooth) or odontology (from the Greek odous) refers to the specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of deformities or disorders of the teeth, oral cavity, and associated structures. Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the prevention and correction of dental and facial irregularities, often termed malocclusion. Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the study and treatment of abnormal conditions of the tissues surrounding the teeth. Endodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp and periapical (around the tip) tissues. Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the teeth and dental care of children. Terms for the specialists in these areas are dentist, odontologist, orthodontist, periodontist, endodontist, and periodontist.

This study utilized genomic DNA (gDNA) specimens obtained from the Periodontal Human Specimen Storage Registry at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. The specimens were collected between 2015 and 2019, and their use for secondary research purposes was approved by the provider within the designated storage period. The registry specimens consisted of five spatially distinct specimens: saliva, buccal swabs, plaque from the oral cavity, stool, and blood. The collection followed a standardized protocol used in the HMP [23,27]. An experienced periodontist recorded the collection and group classification of oral microbial specimens. The collection of oral cavity specimens followed a specific order: buccal swabs, saliva, and plaque. Blood samples were collected on the same day as saliva collection. Patients were instructed to fast for 8 hours and abstain from oral hygiene for at least 2 hours before the collection of oral specimens. The buccal swab samples were collected from the inner buccal mucosa of the right and left cheek using cotton swabs provided with the buccal swab kit. Saliva was collected for 20 minutes without stimulation. All periodontal probing depths were pre-recorded, and subgingival plaque was taken from the two deepest pockets during sampling. The gDNA was isolated from each specimen using commercial kits following the manufacturer’s instructions (Supp. Text 1). Extracted DNA was prepared for sequencing according to the protocol of the HMP consortium [28].

All clinical experiments (recruitment of participants and clinical samples collection) conducted for this study were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Dankook University Hospital (IRB numbers: 2020-10-015). Of those 22 years or older who visited the Department of Periodontics, 112 patients without oral disease participated in this study (Table 1). Each participant was classified into healthy oral group after being tested for oral environmental conditions and whether or not it is a dental disease through a simple survey and interview including medical history with the dentist prior to a clinical study. The criteria for exclusion from the clinical test were as follows: patients who refused to participate in this study, with severe mental disorders, had systemic diseases with potential dental disease effects, drug abuse, were pregnant, had taken took antibiotics within the past 6 months, or had active dental treatments (including scaling, root planning). All clinical examinations on healthy subjects were performed by a dentist, in which pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI) were measured through the full arch.
Adjunctive systemic antibiotic effect on periodontal state, salivary enzyme activity, and glycemia imbalance in type-2 diabetics after non-surgical periodontal management

The periodontal examination was carried out in accordance with the guidelines published by the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology at the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions [10,11]. Six sites per tooth (mesiobuccal, mediobuccal, disto-buccal, disto-lingual, medio-lingual, and mesio-lingual), excluding the third molars, were subjected to the complete mouth clinical evaluations. The same periodontist measured periodontal indices such as periodontal probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP%), O’Leary plaque index (PI), Löe and Silness gingival index (GI), and the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S) of Greene and Vermillion using a William’s graduated periodontal probe. All T2Dpc were subjected to a second oral examination after 1 month since receiving the treatments.
