Don’t Build A Dental Office- Build A Successful Dental Business! THE ULTIMATE SUPPORT PAGE. A dental business can be a profitable business. As a dentist or an investor, owning a dental office is the first step to start this journey. Buying an existing dental office might be an easier and faster way, although with the current high prices for existing practices, building a brand new dental office is another good option to get in this business. Here we will discuss how to build a successful dental business.

Clarithromycin Beneficial with Full Mouth Debridement in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis? Methods: Forty patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) Full Mouth Debridement with Clarithromycin 500mg every 12 hours for 3 days. 2) Full Mouth Debridement with placebo pills. Results: Both groups were effective for clinical and microbiological parameters. The Clarithromycin group presented with lower mean probing depths for pockets 7mm at 6 months. The Clarithr...omycin group also had greater reduction in P. gingivalis DNA counts at 6 months. Conclusions: Adjunctive use of Clarithromycin with Full Mouth Debridement leads to greater reduction in deep pocketing and reduced P. gingivalis counts at 6 months.

Emdogain plus Calcium Phosphate for Two-Wall Defects? Methods: 52 patients with at least one non-contained infrabony defect 3 mm and probing 3 mm were randomly treated with either Emdogain plus biphasic calcium phosphate or Emdogain alone. The primary outcome was a change in clinical attachment up to 12 months. Results: Mean clinical attachment gain of 2.38 mm 2.17 mm was achieved in the Emdogain plus calcium phosphate group compared to 2.65 2.18 mm when Emdogain was... used alone. There was no statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups. Conclusions: The treatment of non-contained infrabony defects with Emdogain combined with calcium phosphate did not yield statistically significant improvement compared to Emdogain used by itself. Both treatment resulted in significantly better clinical attachment levels at 12 months.

Good long term results for tissue grafts? Methods: Forty-seven patients with 64 sites with lack of attached gingiva were treated with free gingival grafts and 64 control sites were left untreated. Patients were recalled every 4 to 6 months. Gingival recession depth, keratinized tissue width, and probing depth were measured at baseline and extending to the follow up period (18 to 35 years) Results: At the end of the follow up period, 83% of the 64 treated sites showed recess...ion reduction whereas 48% of the 64 untreated sites experienced increase in recession. Treated sites ended with gingival margin 1.7 mm more coronal and keratinized tissue 3.3 mm wider than untreated sites. Conclusions: Sites treated with gingival augmentation procedures resulted in coronal displacement of the gingival margin and reduced recession, whereas the contralateral untreated sites showed a tendency for increased recession and a tendency to develop new recession during the 18 to 3 year follow up.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to treat periodontal intrabony defects? Methods: 36 intrabony defects in 36 individual patients were treated with either demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Data was collected at baseline and at 6 month follow up and included radiographic bone fill and changes in clinical attachment levels (CAL).... Results: Both treatment groups had significant gain in clinical attachment levels and bone fill, with no significant difference between groups. Mean CAL gain for DFDBA was 1.16 1.33 mm and mean radiographic bone fill was 1.14 0.88 mm. PRF had a mean CAL gain of 1.03 0.86 and mean radiographic bone fill of 1.10 1.01 mm. Conclusions: Intrabony defects treated with either DFDBA or PRF had a significant gain in CAL as well as bone fill after 6 months of healing and there was no significant difference between the two materials.

Is this a good case for Alloderm root coverage? Gingival CT grafts with Alloderm is being considered for this patient. What are your thoughts?

Are Long Terms Results for Collagen Matrix Comparable to Autogenous Tissue for Root Coverage? Science of implants issue May 20 2016 Methods: Collagen matrix used with a coronally advanced flap was compared to a connective tissue graft used with a coronally advanced flap at 6 months and 5 years for root coverage achieved.... Results: Seventeen patients were available for the 5-year recall. Mean root coverage between 6 months and 5 years changed from 89.5% to 77.6% for collagen matrix and 97.5% to 95.5% for connective tissue. There was no significant difference between the therapies for changes in root coverage, keratinized tissue width, and probing depth. Patient satisfaction was similar for both therapies. Conclusions: Collagen matrix is a viable long term alternative to traditional autogenous connective tissue when used in conjunction with a coronally advanced flap for root coverage procedures. Dr. Gs comments: There is a trend for slightly better root coverage with autogenous tissue, but patients seem to prefer the lower morbidity of an allograft. For more information please refer to: J Periodontol. 2016 Mar;87(3):221-7 Long-Term Results Comparing Xenogeneic Collagen Matrix and Autogenous Connective Tissue Grafts With Coronally Advanced Flaps for Treatment of Dehiscence-Type Recession Defects.

Implants too close? How to manage peri-implantitis? These implants have been in function for the past 6 years. Patient is now complaining of pain on chewing and there is deep pocketing with suppuration. This is the surgical view. Was peri-implantitis caused by lack of inter-implant bone due to the implants being placed too close to each other? What is the best treatment solution?

Does Suture Removal Time Affect Root Coverage Outcome? Methods: A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials that assessed single tooth class I or II recession defects treated surgically with a coronally advanced flap. Early (less than 10 days post-op) and late (more than 10 days post-op) suture removal were compared in terms of differences in complete root coverage outcome. Results: Data from seventeen studies comprising of 325 single recession defects revealed a superior p...roportion of sites exhibiting complete root coverage when sutures where removed more than 10 days post-operatively. No significant difference in outcomes between absorbable and non-absorbable sutures when they were removed more than 10 days after surgery. Conclusions: Early suture removal (less than 10 days post-op) can hinder complete root coverage outcomes in singe tooth recession defects treated with a coronally advanced flap. Dr. Gebraels comments: Modern 5-0 polypropylene sutures have excellent tensile characteristics and are comfortable enough for us to delay suture removal until at least one month post-op. This allows a mature attachment to form and increases the odds for complete root coverage.
