Periodontal regeneration is now a major challenge in periodontal
research and practice. It involves the use of regenerative therapy
to restore the defects produced by the defects produced by the
disease process. Bone grafting is known to be one such most
important regenerative procedures.However, the successful
prevention and treatment of periodontitis is contigent upon
effective control of the periodontopathic bacteria residing in the
various ecological niches of the oral cavity. So, Doxycycline have
been incorporated into the allograft to control infection and
facilitate healing during and after periodontal therapy.It has the
ability to concentrate in the GCF at levels, substantially greater
than that in the serum and also binds to the tooth surface to be
slowly released in active form, thereby prolonging therapeutic
effects.It demonstrates anticollagenolytic and antiproteolytic
properties that aid osseous regeneration and also helps in reducing
periodontal disease progression.It has also been shown to initiate
demineralization on the bone surface layer that results in the
release of osteogenic factors such as TGF, IGF& BMP that
triggers bone induction
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.
