Periodontal health following fibrotomy of the supra‐alveolar fibers

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1976
abstract— A clinical follow‐up study has been carried out in order to study the periodontal health of orthodontically derotated teeth where the supra‐alveolar fibers have been severed by an incision through the bottom of the marginal pocket to the border of the alveolar bone in order to reduce the tendency towards a posttreatment relapse.

Presence of oxytalan fibers in human regenerated periodontal ligament

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1999
Abstract. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether oxytalan fibers are formed in the regenerated human periodontal ligament. 6 patients, each of them exhibiting an advanced intrabony defect, were treated with a bioresorbable membrane according to the GTR‐principle.

Stretching modulates oxytalan fibers in human periodontal ligament cells

Journal of Periodontal Research, 2009
Background and Objective:  Oxytalan fibers, as well as collagen fibers, are the structural components of periodontal ligaments. Periodontal ligaments are continuously exposed to various functional forces. However, the behavior of oxytalan fibers under mechanical strain has not been investigated.

Development of oxytalan fibers in the rat molar periodontal ligament

Journal of Periodontal Research, 2002
Although oxytalan fibers are known to be a ubiquitous component of the periodontal ligament, little information has been available concerning their organization in the developing periodontal ligament. In the present study, growth and distribution of oxytalan fibers were examined in the developing periodontal ligament of rat molars aged 11, 14, 19, 21 ...

Fine structure of adrenergic nerve fibers in human periodontal ligament

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1992
The presence of adrenergic nerve fibers was demonstrated ultrastructurally in the human periodontal ligament obtained from extracted premolar teeth from 8 young patients. The nerve endings were located close to arterioles. The results suggest that they seem to control blood flow in the human periodontal ligament.

Local tetracycline delivery using hollow fiber devices in periodontal therapy

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1979
Abstract. The present investigation was performed to assess the effect of tetracycline, locally administered via hollow fiber devices, on the microflora of periodontal pockets in humans and on various clinical parameters describing periodontitis. Five patients with advanced periodontal disease were used in the study.

Monolithic Tetracycline‐containing Fibers for Controlled Delivery to Periodontal Pockets

Journal of Periodontology, 1983
For the purpose of developing controlled delivery devices for periodontal therapy which would release over several days, six fiber types made of tetracycline‐loaded biocompatible polymers were manufactured and tested. Polyethylene, polypropylene, polycaprolactone, polyurethane and cellulose acetate propionate all released their drug load within 1 day ...

Tetracycline-Loaded Fibers as Adjunctive Treatment In Periodontal Disease

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1994
Fiber placed in periodontal pockets to deliver tetracycline continuously for 10 days was effective in reducing pocket depth and bleeding on probing when used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. In this study, the combined therapy was valuable in treating adult patients who had refractory disease sites.

Biodegradable engineered fiber scaffolds fabricated by electrospinning for periodontal tissue regeneration

Journal of Biomaterials Applications, 2020
Considering the specificity of periodontium and the unique advantages of electrospinning, this technology has been used to fabricate biodegradable tissue engineering materials for functional periodontal regeneration. For better biomedical quality, a continuous technological progress of electrospinning has been performed. Based on property of materials

Evaluation of Periodontal Treatments Using Controlled‐Release Tetracycline Fibers: Maintenance Response

Journal of Periodontology, 1995
The purpose of this investigation was to examine periodontal disease recurrence from 3 to 12 months following various treatments with scaling and root planing and controlled‐release tetracycline fibers. One‐hundred‐twenty‐two (122) adult volunteers with at least one bleeding pocket ≥ 5 mm in each of four quadrants were enrolled in this study.
