Effect of locally delivered doxycycline as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of periodontitis in smokers: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis

Dental Research Journal, 2020
Background: Scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of periodontitis may be less effective in some patients. This study evaluated the effectiveness of local doxycycline as an adjunct to SRP among smokers with periodontitis compared to SRP alone ...

Full-scale Raman imaging for dental caries detection

Biomedical Optics Express, 2018
Early detection of dental caries is critical for avoiding more invasive and advanced treatment at a later stage. However, currently available techniques are unsatisfactory for early detection. Raman spectroscopy is known to have both high sensitivity and specificity in the analysis of mineral content in a tooth; but translating Raman spectroscopy to ...

Near-infrared imaging of demineralization on the occlusal surfaces of teeth without the interference of stains. [PDF]

, 2019
Most new caries lesions are found in the pits and fissures of the occlusal surface. Radiographs have extremely low sensitivity for early occlusal decay, and by the time the lesion is severe enough to appear on a radiograph, it typically has penetrated ...

On the Mixing of Diffusing Particles [PDF]

, 2002
We study how the order of N independent random walks in one dimension evolves with time. Our focus is statistical properties of the inversion number m, defined as the number of pairs that are out of sort with respect to the initial configuration.
