RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to compare the severity of periodontal disease among subjects with neuropsychiatric disorders with that of a control group of normal subjects in order to determine the association between emotional disturbances and periodontal disease. One hundred and sixty-three subjects hospitalized for neuropsychiatric conditions (NP) and 78 control subjects with no emotional problems were examined. Periodontal attachment loss was measured using Russell's index (PI), and the oral hygiene status was evaluated with the Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) of Green and Vermillion by a single examiner. Full mouth radiographs were also evaluated. The results showed that mean PI, debris, calculus, and OHI scores were generally higher in NP subjects compared to controls. When the effects of severity of debris, calculus, and OHI scores, and daily tooth brushing frequency were controlled, NP subjects had statistically significantly higher mean PI scores than controls. These findings suggest that emotional problems may be associated with the severity of periodontal disease.

The objectives of the present study were to examine the effects of dental restorations, crowns and fillings, and carious lesions on the periodontal tissues. One hundred and one clinic patients were selected on the basis of each having one or more teeth with either carious lesions or restorations, and having contralateral teeth without restorations or carious lesions. Debris, calculus, gingivitis, pocket depths, and bone loss were evaluated using objective criteria of assessment for each condition. The results showed significantly greater gingivitis, pocket depth, and bone loss around teeth with restorations and carious lesions than around their controls.

1. The grafted material appears extremely compatible with the animals tested for the observed time periods. 2. The procedures used led to the obliteration of surgically created one-wall infrabony periodontal pockets with fibrous connective tissue and/or bone. 3. The ready access, ease of placement and flexibility of the woven ceramic materials appear to provide some definite advantages over autogenous bone and many of the alloplastic materials presently being used in the correction of infrabony periodontal pockets. 4. Although in the experimental animals the graft materials appeared to be nontoxic, nonantigenic and compatible with the growth of new bone, long-term studies are indicated to determine is compatibility and potential to obliterate "chronic" periodontal lesions.
