Materials and methods: A total of 20 subjects reporting to the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dental Sciences, SGT University were randomly chosen. These subjects were affected by localized chronic periodontitis with bilateral periodontal pockets with a depth >5 mm. All the subjects were informed about the purpose of the study, and consent was obtained before collecting data. On one side, 1% curcumin gel was used, and on the other side, chitosan chips were used. The evaluation of periodontal status was conducted using the plaque index and bleeding index. To evaluate the microbiological alterations, the quantity of P. gingivalis colonies was measured. Results: Mean bleeding index values are 37.32 ± 11.85 and 60.95 ± 35.25 in the subjects treated with 1% curcumin gel and chitosan chips. The mean plaque index is 19.17 ± 2.28 and 22.55 ± 3.73 in the subjects treated with 1% curcumin gel and chitosan chips. To assess the microbial colony, a Quebec colony counter was used. Colony-forming units (CFU) per milliliter or gram of sample was obtained by dividing the number of colonies by the dilution factor multiplied by the amount of specimen added to the liquefied agar. The number of P. gingivalis was reduced in the samples treated with 1% curcumin gel (12.12 ± 3.88) compared to the samples treated with chitosan chips (27.51 ± 7.41). The results obtained are statistically significant. Conclusion: 1% curcumin gel proved to be a better local drug delivery agent compared to chitosan chips based on the periodontal and microbiological parameters. Clinical significance: The study was aimed at finding which of the natural sources of local drug delivery agents was better than the other. Local drug delivery agents are primarily made from allopathic sources. The use of natural agents, furthermore, counteracts the ill effects of the former.

Materials ans Methods: The subjects were divided into 2 groups. Group I included 5 subjects who used self-prepared neem mouthwash, and Group II included 5 subjects who used 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash. Subgingival plaque samples were taken at baseline and the 15th day after using the mouthwash and subjected to microbiological evaluation. Results: The colony forming unit (CFU) of P. gingivalis was calculated at baseline and on the 15 th day after using mouthwash using the digit colony counter. A comparison of the total CFU of both mouthwashes revealed that the neem mouth was effective in reducing the microbial colonies of P. gingivalis from baseline to the 15 th day. Conclusion: It was concluded that the self-prepared neem mouthwash was effective in reducing the colony-forming unit of P. gingivalis in the sub-gingival plaque samples and showed better results than the commercially available chemical-based chlorhexidine mouthwash. 776

Due to variation in the size, extent, and location of the gingival overgrowth. It becomes a grueling task for the clinician to make a suitable diagnosis. It is imperative that the clinician performs all the necessary investigations in order to formulate an adequate treatment plan and decide the method of treatment. It is also important to remember that mouth being the mirror of the body, different conditions could be indicative of various systemic conditions one could be affected with.

The plant materials were gathered, and the water-soluble components were removed. The prepared mouthwash's physicochemical characteristics and antibacterial efficacy were further assessed. The mouthwash that is currently available has good antibacterial qualities. The stability study's findings support the efficacy of the preparation. Currently, available mouthwash is a liquid formulation that often includes antiseptic and antibacterial ingredients. In addition to being used to lessen microbial growth in the oral cavity, these solutions may also be administered for other purposes, such as their analgesic, and anti-inflammatory qualities.

It outlines the reasons for using a classification system from a clinical perspective and provides a critical appraisal of the latest classification. The major changes introduced in the 1999 system are discussed alongside the rationale behind the recommended nomenclature. The aim was to review and update the 1999 classification with regard to the diseases and conditions, and to develop case definitions and diagnostic considerations.

Ankyloglossia is a congenital deformity which is characterised by the presence open abnormally short and thick lingual frenum which untowardly affects the movement of the tongue. In this case elaborated below a 28-year-old patient reported with a rudimentary tongue tie and complaint of communication gap due to slurred speech. Treatment protocol followed in this particular case was frenectomy with muscle repositioning procedure.

It has several associations with hormonal fluctuations; the body undergoes several physiological hormonal mechanisms. In several physiological conditions, hormonal fluctuations have been observed. One such condition is pregnancy. Several hormones are at play during pregnancy; one such hormone is PTH. Parathyroid hormone is essential to increase the maternal absorption of calcium during gestation and has been observed to have a direct effect on the Periodontium. Pregnancy confers detrimental changes to the periodontal tissues in expectant mothers. In this article, we would focus on the periodontal health seen among pregnant women and how the parathyroid hormone levels vary in pregnancy in contrast to its normal mechanism. A lacuna in the literature exists, preventing us from forming an association between the varying parathyroid levels and the periodontal health status of pregnant women observed longitudinally through their pregnancies. Through this article, we aim to bridge that gap.

The patients have a preference for this specific therapy modality over alternative possibilities. Since no two patients are alike, this specific method has given rise to several issues. An example of this would be the atrophic edentulous span. The implant cannot be positioned in the designated location due to an atrophic edentulous span, and there are issues with sufficient osteointegration. The main complaint of the 32-year-old male patient in the case report below was missing teeth when he first arrived at the Department of Periodontology. Upon assessment, it was determined that there was not enough room in the edentulous span to place implants. Piezo surgery in conjunction with a ridge split technique was the chosen treatment modality.

exception as periodontal destruction can be found to increase in prevalence with
increasing age. The traditional clinical procedures of scaling root planning and
periodontal flap surgery, if followed by an adequate postoperative supportive
periodontal care, results, in most cases, in successful management of progressive
periodontal diseases. More recently, the regenerative treatment of periodontal defects
with an agent, or procedure, has attracted enormous interest from materials scientists
