    Diagnosis of the active phase of periodontal disease. 1. Clinical parameters

    No full text
    Review of the literature shows that the common clinical parameters used in practice are inaccurate in assessing periodontal disease activity. Radiographs and probings are, instead, relatively accurate in retrospectively assessing periodontal disease activity. Currently more sophisticated radiographic techniques are being developed to diagnose ongoing periodontal disease activity

    Role of the PMN in periodontal disease. Study of a clinical case

    No full text
    The Authors examine PMN's morphofunctional characteristic and show PMN's role in establishing periodontal disease. Then they show a clinical case of Rapidly Progressive Periodontitis in a patient with neutrophil function alteration

    Diagnosis of the active phase of periodontal disease. 2. Non-clinical parameters

    No full text
    A review of the Literature shows that a lat of (non-clinical) umoral markers have been suggested as indicators of periodontal disease activity. The advantage of simultaneous evaluation of different markers to obtain a profile of local disease activity has been highlighted in this work as an approach that may provide an usefull picture of the local destructive disease

    Laser in periodontology: theoretical-experimental approach. 2. The laser and biostimulation: hypothesis of the physico-biological mechanism of action

    No full text
    The Authors describe the physical principles regulating interaction between laser beam and living matter. Then they review the biological assumptions that explain the clinical effects on latest experimental data
