Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent afflictions
affecting the human beings. When occurs, it destroys the tooth
supporting structures like periodontal ligament, cementum and
alveolar bone. If untreated, tooth may become mobile and finally
may get exfoliated. The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is
creation of an environment that is conducive to maintaining the
patient's dentition in health, comfort and function. Periodontal
therapy is directed not only at inflammation control but also at
pocket reduction and associated bone defect. The shift in
therapeutic concepts from resection to regeneration has
significantly impacted the practice of periodontology. Regeneration
of lost bone and periodontal attachment improves the support of the
tooth and its prognosis. Bone replacement grafts have been shown to
produce greater clinical bone defect fill from flap debridement
alone. In most of the clinical studies, the osseous grafted sites
have outperformed the non grafted sites in the regeneration of the
lost periodontal structures. This research work evaluated the
efficacy of -tricalcium phosphate plus hydroxyapatite in the
treatment of periodontal infrabony defects."
Oral lichen planus is most commonly asymptomatic and gingival
lesions of lichen planus such as atrophic, erosive and desquamative
lesions, were often found to co-exist with chronic marginal
gingivitis. Whether these lesions are benign or malignant, early
diagnosis and planned treatment is mandatory to check the menace at
the earliest. The use of bio-resorbable membranes had been proposed
to regenerate periodontal structures like alveolar bone,
periodontal ligament and epithelium. However it has rarely been
tried in the management of lichen planus of gingivae. Surgical
managememnt of such cases was performed to evaluate the use of
bio-resorbable membranes in the management of erosive lichen planus
of gingivae

Dental hypersensitivity probably affects most individuals and at
times, pain may be so severe that patient believes that his/her
dentition is seriously and perhaps irreversibly affected.
Iontophoresis i.e. use of desensitizing agents along with electric
current has been utilized as a lasting and predictable treatment of
dental hypersensitivity. In the recent past, researchers have been
trying to manage this problem by surgical means also by re-covering
the exposed tooth root surfaces. Present investigation attempted to
find out the effects of combining both these treatment modalities
to alleviate the menace of hypersensitivity, along with enhancing
the patient's esthetics.
