摘要:

HIV‐1‐associated periodontal diseases have been reported in the literature for several years. Criteria for the diagnosis of these diseases have not been universally accepted, although there are numerous papers describing the clinical entity. These case reports provide clinical and radiographic evidence of a type of periodontal disease with bone and soft tissue destruction which differentiates it from “conventional” periodontal diseases found in both HIV‐1‐infected patients and those not infected by the virus. It is important, from both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects, for clinicians to be able to make this distinction. The appropriate use of clinical and radiographic findings is extremely helpful in the diagnosis, particularly in the case of defining HIV‐1 necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP). Whether the patterns of gingival changes and bone loss described in these case reports are specific to HIV‐1‐seropos‐itive persons or rather represent severe immunosupp ression requires fu

摘要:

In order to provide dentists with specific guidelines regarding appropriate oral treatments for transplant patients, their timing, and the prophylactic steps that must be taken in their handling, a two‐phase study was undertaken. In the first phase, the effectiveness of an initial oral hygiene training and motivation program was evaluated by statistical testing of the observed differences in gingival overgrowth and plaque and gingivitis scores between a study group and a control group, each consisting of 46 heart and liver transplant patients. Significantly higher scores were observed in the control group. In the second phase, the effectiveness of a set of prophylactic measures was tested in 530 periodontal treatments and 380 dental treatments, applied in 120 heart, liver, and kidney transplant patients who showed no significant complications. It was concluded that all transplant patients should be monitored by a dentist, and that the recommended procedure is effective in preventing oral treatment complication

摘要:

Maintaining satisfactory oral health in bed‐ridden patients often calls for special aids, such as moistened cotton swabs. The purpose of thlsIn vitrostudy was to investigate three commercially available swab sticks meant for hospital use (DentiswabR, Lemon‐Glycerin SwabsticksR, and Lemon Glycerine SwabsR), and one saliva‐stimulant chewing tablet (CassisalR), regarding their possible erosive effects on dental enamel. A bovine enamel model system was used. Specimens were incubated for 4 hours In the test solutions made of the products.The results showed statistically signlficant enamel softening caused by two of the cotton swabs (Lemon‐Glycerin SwabsticksRand Lemon Glycerine SwabsR). Incubation in the solutions made of DentiswabRcotton swabs and CassisalRtablets caused only minimal changes in microhard‐ness. Profilometric measurements supported these results.Stereomicroscopy and SEM showed distinct erosion in specimens treated with the lemon swab solution, while the other two did not cause erosion. Thus, attention should be focused on choosing the less erosive products If special mouth‐cleaning ai
