Root surface debridement and endotoxin removal

Journal of Periodontal Research, 2003
Objective:  This study assessed associations between the number of standardized scaling strokes and the reduction of endotoxin on the root surface.Background:  Therapy of periodontally involved teeth attempts removal of accretions by scaling and root planing.

Treating root-surface caries

Dental Clinics of North America, 2002
This article summarizes the effectiveness of restorative materials used to restore root surfaces, the mechanisms by which these materials reduce caries, and placement techniques for restoring root-surface lesions. Patients may be classified into low, medium, and high caries risk groups for root caries, and specific dental restorative material ...

Indices of Root Surface Caries

Journal of Dental Research, 1990
Despite the increasing international interest in recent years in the epidemiology of root surface caries, there is no agreement on the diagnostic criteria to be used when the condition is recorded. In this paper the different methods used by dental epidemiologists are reviewed.

The removal of root surface deposits

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1985
Abstract The importance of adequate root surface instrumentation has received increasing emphasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which root planning could produce surfaces free of stainable deposits. Initial laboratory investigations on extracted, periodontally involved roots demonstrated that after meticulous root ...

The Hypermineralization of Diseased Root Surfaces,

Journal of Periodontology, 1979
Root surfaces which have lost their attachment due to chronic inflammatory periodontal disease present significant increases in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and fluoride. The clinical significance of this effect is not known in regards to wound healing, but it may be helpful in control of cervical sensitivity.

Root Surface Biofilms and Caries

2017
Following gingival recession, which increases with age, the root surface becomes exposed, creating new environments for microbial colonization and biofilm formation. The formation of root surface biofilms is influenced by the availability and composition of saliva and gingival crevicular fluid; they provide components for the conditioning film ...

Specificities of Caries on Root Surface

2017
Variations in organic and inorganic composition and morphology may determine different susceptibilities of root surfaces to caries. Subsequent to gingival recession, root surfaces become exposed and those areas where Sharpey's fibers system was once inserted into the cementum are converted into canals for microbial penetration.

The Epidemiology of Root Surface Caries

Journal of Dental Research, 1990
Although a secular decline is being seen in coronal caries in children in industrialized countries, there appears to be a relatively high prevalence of root caries, with chronologically older adults exhibiting the highest prevalences. This paper reviews the descriptive and analytical epidemiology of root caries as found in recent national, regional ...

Effects of Fluoride and Chlorhexidine on the Microflora of Dental Root Surfaces and Progression of Root-surface Caries

Journal of Dental Research, 1991
The effects of fluoride and chlorhexidine varnishes on the microflora of dental root surfaces and on the progression of root-surface caries were studied. Forty-four patients, surgically treated for advanced periodontal disease, were distributed at random among three groups. All patients received a standardized preventive treatment.
