Das Grundkonzept der lokalen Medikamentenverabreichung, die Klassifizierung und die verschiedenen Geräte zur Medikamentenverabreichung sowie deren Anwendungsmethoden werden in diesem Buch gut erklärt. Der Unterschied zwischen lokaler und systemischer Medikamentenverabreichung sowie verschiedene kommerziell erhältliche lokale Medikamentenverabreichungsmittel werden in diesem Buch hervorgehoben. Darüber hinaus werden die jüngsten Fortschritte bei der lokalen Verabreichung von Medikamenten vorgestellt, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf deren potenziellen Zusatznutzen zur herkömmlichen mechanischen...

Orthodontists prefer to move teeth in individuals who have good periodontal structures. However, we frequently see individuals who have poor periodontal health. Ortho-Perio Inter-relationship helps us navigate the challenges of our real life, less than periodontally perfect patients. Interactions between periodontics and orthodontics are often concerned with the formation of an accurate diagnostic and the treatment planning required to enable coordinated perio-ortho therapy. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the subject from both a periodontal and an orthodontic standpoint. The...

Bacterial plaque and calculus are considered as main etiologic agents in the initiation and progression of periodontal diseases.Retention of plaque close to the gingiva is hastened by formation of supragingival dental calculus.Gingivitis is initiated due to the enzymatic effects and toxins released by the pathogenic microorganisms of the plaque This leads to plaque induced gingivitis which eventually progress to Periodontitis. Therefore, deposition of calculus is considered to be only a secondary phenomenon. Thus, according to these concepts calculus is considered as a mere predisposing and...

Dental calculus represents the first fossilized record of bacterial communities as a testimony of evolutionary biology. The development of dental calculus is a dynamic process that starts with a non-mineralized biofilm which eventually calcifies. 1 Calculus is derived from Greek words Calcis or lime stone, the white encrustation inside casks and also called as Tartar, Odontolithiasis and Fossilized plaque. Calculus is defined as a "Hard deposit that is formed by mineralization of dental plaque on the surfaces of natural teeth and dental prosthesis, generally covered by a layer of mineralized...

Calculus is defined as a "Hard deposit that is formed by mineralization of dental plaque on the surfaces of natural teeth and dental prosthesis, generally covered by a layer of mineralized plaque". Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of supporting periodontal tissues of tooth which is caused by specific microorganisms in a susceptible host. Bacterial plaque and calculus are considered as main etiologic agents in the initiation and progression of periodontal diseases. Retention of plaque close to the gingiva is hastened by formation of supragingival dental calculus.

In this book, basic concepts of biomimetic materials used in periodontal regeneration is well explained. Conventional treatment outcomes, material used and its drawbacks is also included. Need for biomimetic materials involving stem cells, growth factors and scaffolds is emphasized in this book. With this knowledge and its application in clinical practice, better results can be achieved in the field of Periodontics.

Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is defined as the tissue fluid that seeps through the crevicular and junctional epithelium. Many studies on gingival crevicular fluid extend over a period of about 50 years, however its presence is known since 19th century. With so much research now available, it is obvious that GCF provides a unique window for analysis of periodontal condition. The book aims to discuss the clinical significance of GCF, its constituents & methods of collection & processing. The author hopes to guide the readers to understand the role of GCF influencing periodontal health status.

The basic concept of local drug delivery, classification and various drug delivery devices along with its method of application is well explained in this book. Difference between the local and systemic drug delivery in addition to various commercially available local drug delivery agents is emphasised in this book. It also includes recent advancements in local drug delivery with emphasis on their potential adjunctive benefits to conventional mechanical periodontal therapy.

BakteriellePlaque und Zahnstein werden als Hauptursachen für die Entstehung und das Fortschreiten vonParodontalerkrankungenangesehen.Die Retention von Plaque in der Nähe der Gingiva wird durch die Bildung von supragingivalen Zahnsteinen beschleunigt.Die Gingivitis wird durch die enzymatischen Wirkungen und Toxine ausgelöst, die von den pathogenenMikroorganismen der Plaquefreigesetzt werden. Dies führt zu einer plaquebedingten Gingivitis, die schließlichin eine Parodontitisübergeht.Daher wird die Ablagerung von Zahnstein nur als ein sekundäresPhänomenbetrachtet.Nach diesen Konzepten...
