Abstract:

The field of periodontal surgery dealing with the correction of anatomic, developmental or trauma and disease induced defects of gingiva, alveolar mucosa and bone is known as periodontal plastic surgery. It includes but is not limited to deepening of shallow vestibule, widening of attached gingiva, ridge augmentation, coverage of denuded roots, reconstruction of papillae and periodontal prosthetic corrections. These procedures maybe performed to accomplish any of the objectives such as correction of the width of attached gingiva oranaberrant frenum. Objectives such as esthetic surgical therapy and tissue engineering have widened the horizons of periodontal plastic surgery. Substantial ground breaking research around various surgical techniques and their modifications started after the 1920s. However, sophisticated and relatively newer techniques such as the pinhole technique, VISTA etc. have been published in the last decade. These modern methods have increased clinical efficiency and improved ergonomics.  The periodontist today has a vast array of procedures and materials to choose from. This paper presents the principles of soft tissue grafting for predictable success including the steps involved in clinical case selection, to aid the decision making process and collates all relevant techniques and contemporary surgical objectives so as to provide clinicians a holistic picture of all the surgical methods and techniques at their disposal.

Abstract:

A new facile and scalable approach for utilizing basic ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroxide ([BMIM]+OH−) for the fabrication of different shapes of ceria nanostructures was adopted. The features of the fabricated ceria and their corresponding gold nanocatalysts were characterized by employing ICP, HRTEM, XRD, XPS, BET and UV–vis spectroscopy. Catalytic performance of CeO2 and its dependence on shape was studied in the oxidation of CO and olefins epoxidation. The ratio between the ionic liquid and cerium precursor is one of the valuable factors used to monitor the growth of the particles. The catalytic performance of ceria was found to be dependent on the morphology of the catalysts. The catalytic performance of CeO2 in the form of nanorod shapes is better than that of nanocubes and bulk. The deposition of gold nanoparticles on different shaped CeO2 much enhanced their catalytic performance. This enhancement in catalytic performance was, however, more significant in the case of rod-shaped ceria.

Abstract:

Reconstruction of atrophic ridges is a challenging job using powder form bone grafting materials as usually we gain more width and less height due to collapse of the grafted material even when protected with a hard mesh. Moreover, sinus lift surgeries end up in building bone in the wrong direction ending up with compomised restoration – implant ratios. Modern technologies and sophisticated imaging techniques allow direct recognition of the defect size and shap. In this lecture we are going to shed some light about new possibilities in tissue engineering where the dentist can design, mill, and insert the required graft as an integrated strucutre without the need to use a membrane or a protective mesh.

CAD-CAM scaffolds must initiat cell signaling once in contact with blood, provide suitable environment for the invading cell, and at the same time have a biodegradation mechanism that creats sufficient space for new bone deposition. More and more about the secrests of smart bone scaffolds will be revealed though one hour lecture enriched with illustrative images and video demostrations. Case presentations and surgery protocols will be discussed including step by step treatment managment protocols.
