ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of high strength periodontal splint combined with tooth powder in the treatment of moderate and severe periodontal disease in the elderly. Methods The control group was treated with Iodine Glycerol on the basis of the high strength periodontal splint. The study group was treated with the dental splint on the basis of the high-strength fiber periodontal splint. The clinical efficacy of two groups of elderly patients with moderate or severe periodontal disease was recorded. The data were input into SPSS software and analyzed and concluded. Results The analysis shows that the treatment group elderly patients with moderate and severe periodontal dise Zase treatment effect is better than the control group, the total effective rate of the study group is 89.80%, compared with 75.51% in the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of high strength fiber periodontal splint and tooth powder for the treatment of senile moderate and severe periodontal disease can significantly improve the efficacy of patients, and is conducive to the protection of their quality of life, physical and mental health.

ABSTRACT
Context: In India, teeth cleaning with tooth powder is common in rural and semi‑urban areas. These dentifrices may contain low‑quality abrasives, which may have a deleterious effect on dental hard tissues. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the tooth substance loss caused by different dentifrices and to correlate it with chemical composition, size, and shape of abrasives used. Settings and Design: An indigenously made automated machine was used for brushing the specimens. Materials and Methods: Sixty‑four freshly extracted premolars were allocated to eight groups (n = 8). Colgate toothpaste was used as the control group. Each specimen was brushed in a vertical motion for 2½ h at 200 strokes/min with a constant applied load of 200 g corresponding to 6‑month brushing. The difference in weight (pre‑ and post‑brushing) was determined by an analytical weighing machine. Chemical analysis was done to determine the presence of iron oxide by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry method. Shape and size of the abrasive particles was evaluated under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Statistical Analysis Used: One‑way analysis of variance and Paired t‑test were used to analyze the data. Results: Tooth substance loss was maximum in the group brushed with red tooth powder, which was shown to contain the highest amount of iron oxide and also exhibited large, irregularly shaped abrasive particles under SEM. Conclusions: Tooth substance loss was documented to be correlated with chemical composition (iron oxide) and the size and shape of abrasive particles used in dentifrices.
