ABSTRACT
Las periodontitis implican pérdida de inserción clínica y destrucción ósea visible en las radiografías. Se consideran las enfermedades más comunes entre las que afectan al periodonto de inserción. Su prevalencia aumenta con la edad hasta alcanzar alrededor del 80% a los 50 años. Con el objetivo de demostrar la regeneración ósea periodontal con plasma rico en plaquetas, se presentó este caso clínico, paciente de 19 años de edad que acudió en búsqueda de atención estomatológica, la cual fue diagnosticada con una periodontitis juvenil. Como conclusión se comprobó que el plasma rico en plaquetas es una posibilidad válida para regenerar o reconstruir el tejido óseo.
Periodontitis involve clinical attachment loss and bone destruction visible on radiographs. They are considered the most common diseases among those affecting the periodontal insertion. Its prevalence increases with age up to about 80% at 50 years. In order to demonstrate the periodontal bone regeneration with platelet-rich plasma, a patient of 19 years old who came for dental care, which was diagnosed as a periodontitis in young people. The author concluded that the platelet-rich plasma is a valid possibility to regenerate or reconstruct the bone tissue
ABSTRACT
In prolonged chronic osteomyelitis, chronic inflammation and low-grade infections can result in new periosteal bone formation. Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (traditionally termed Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis) mainly affects children and young adults. Here, we present two rare cases of an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old patient with suppurative chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis without any definitive infection source, such as dental caries or periodontitis. The source of infection was likely to be related to the development of a lower right third molar germ with follicular space widening. Management involved antibiotics and the removal of the third molar germ and surgical debridement. Disease remission and a normal appearance was observed at the six-month follow-up visit.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of surgical therapy combined with the usage of metronidazole gel in the treatment of juvenile periodontitis by comparing clinical indices of flap operation along with application of metronidazole gel and flap operation only. Comparing clinical indices of the baseline, 3 months after surgery, 6 months after surgery statistically, the results are as follows; 1. Bleeding on probing (BOP) was decreased significantly both in the experimental group and the control group at 3 months after surgery (p0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in these groups (p>0.05). 2. Pocket probing depth (PPD) was decreased significantly both in the experimental group and the control group at 3 months after surgery (p0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in these groups (p>0.05). 3. Loss of attachment level(LOA) was decreased significantly both in the experimental group and the control group at 3 months after surgery (p0.05). In conclusion, flap operation was effective on the treatment of juvenile periodontitis. However, combined therapy of metronidazole gel could not give rise to any significant adjunctive effect on the treatment outcome.
