Pendahuluan: gingival enlargement umumnya terjadi akibat inflamasi kronis yang disebabkan oleh faktor lokal, seperti induksi plak pada gingiva dan faktor sistemik seperti  pengaruh hormon dan obat-obatan sistemik tertentu. Hidrosefalus merupakan kondisi yang diakibatkan adanya volume cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) berlebih yang tidak terserap sempurna, dalam jumlah yang sangat tinggi pada ventrikel di otak dan terkadang juga terdapat di ruang subarachnoid, yang menyebabkan terjadinya dilatasi ventrikel secara progresif. Kondisi ini menghasilkan peningkatan tekanan intrakranial dan sering merusak jaringan di sekitarnya. Pasien hidrosefalus menunjukkan pembesaran kepala dan mengalami keterlambatan pertumbuhan. Tujuan penelitian laporan kasus ini adalah menjelaskan keberhasilan terapi fase inisial perawatan periodontal pada gingival enlargement pasien anak dengan hidrosefalus. Laporan kasus: Pasien hidrosefalus laki-laki berusia 12 tahun, mengalami pembesaran gingiva pada rahang atas, sering berdarah pada saat tersentuh sikat gigi ataupun terkena sentuhan lainnya, terjadi kurang lebih sejak dua bulan yang lalu, pasien tidak mengonsumsi obat-obatan secara sistemik. Hasil pemeriksaan klinis dan radiologis dapat ditegakkan diagnosis inflammatory gingival enlargement rahang atas disertai periodontitis kronis gigi 27, dengan diagnosis banding periodontitis kronis. Gingival enlargement merupakan faktor predisposing pembentukan plak. Gingival enlargement pada pasien ini dirawat dengan terapi inisial yaitu Oral hygiene Instruction (OHI), scaling, root planing, dan kontrol. Simpulan: Terapi fase inisial periodontal berupa OHI, scaling, root planing, dan kontrol, berhasil menghilangkan gingival enlargement pada pasien anak dengan hidrosefalus.Kata kunci: Gingival enlargement, hidrosefalus, perawatan inisial periodontal. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Gingival enlargement generally occurs due to chronic inflammation caused by local factors, such as plaque induction on the gingiva and systemic factors such as hormonal influences and certain systemic drugs. Hydrocephalus is a condition that results from the incompletely absorbed excess volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with very high amounts in the ventricles in the brain and sometimes also in the subarachnoid space, leading to progressive dilation of the ventricles. This condition results in increased intracranial pressure and often damages surrounding tissue. Hydrocephalus patients show head enlargement and growth delay. This case report was aimed to describe the success of the initial phase of periodontal therapy in gingival enlargement of paediatric patients with hydrocephalus. Case report: A 12-year-old male hydrocephalus patient, had enlarged maxillary gingiva, often bled when touched by a toothbrush or when exposed to other touches, occurred for about two months prior, and the patient did not take any medication systemically. The clinical and radiological examination results can confirm the diagnosis of inflammatory maxillary gingival enlargement with chronic periodontitis in tooth #27, with a differential diagnosis of chronic periodontitis. Gingival enlargement is a predisposing factor for plaque formation. Gingival enlargement in this patient was treated with initial therapy, namely oral hygiene instruction (OHI), scaling, root planing, and control. Conclusion: The initial periodontal therapy phase in the form of OHI, scaling, root planing, and control, succeeded in eliminating gingival enlargement in paediatric patients with hydrocephalus.Keywords: Gingival enlargement, hydrocephalus, initial periodontal therapy.

Generalized stage IV, grade C periodontitis results in rapid bone destruction in the periodontium and can lead to early tooth loss. Scaling and root planing (SRP) complemented by systemic antibiotics, access surgery, regenerative techniques and implant placement are among the treatments used for patients with this condition. The aim of this article is to report a comprehensive periodontal treatment in a 23-year-old male who was referred to the periodontology department due to complaints of tooth mobility and gum infections diagnosed with generalized stage IV, grade C periodontitis according to the clinical, systemic, and family history features observed. Thorough non-surgical periodontal treatment consisting of scaling and root planing was provided, followed by a series of regenerative periodontal surgeries including guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration(GBR) to manage advanced bone defects. Six months after periodontal therapy, all implants were inserted using a one-stage approach and Six months later, they were restored with porcelain fused to metal crowns. During the one and two-year follow-ups, the teeth and implants did not show any signs of instability, attachment loss or bone loss. This case report shows that within the limitations of this study a successful outcome can be achieved with an early diagnosis and treatment involving elimination of infectious microorganisms and meticulous long-term maintenance combined with regenerative techniques and implant placement to restore the masticatory function and improve the quality of life for the patient. However further investigation and clinical studies are required to confirm these results.

Gingival enlargement, [sometimes abbreviated to GO (gingival overgrowth)] is an increase in the size of the gingiva. It is a common feature of gingival disease. Gingival enlargement is a well known side-effect of drugs like anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers and immunosuppressant. A case of amlodipine induced gingival enlargement was reported and after drug substitution when the patient was treated non-surgically (scaling and root planing), the enlargement subsides to a normal state which suggested the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal therapy in the treatment of drug induced gingival enlargement. Keywords: Anticonvulsants, Immunosuppressants, Calcium channel blockers, gingival enlargement

Abstract Background Treating periodontitis through non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) may improve glycemic control in type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. However, the evidence to maintain this improvement beyond four months is insufficient. Hence, this trial was conducted to assess clinical efficacy of NSPT on glycemic control in T2DM patients. Methods This three-arm randomized controlled trial recruited 150 known T2DM participants (35–65 years), suffering from moderate to severe periodontitis, having HbA1c level ≥ 6.5% at baseline. Participants were followed up at 3 and 6 months. Intervention for test group-1 included scaling and root planing (SRP) with metronidazole (MET) and oral hygiene instructions (OHI). Test group-2 was intervened with SRP + OHI and control group with OHI only. Stata v. 14 was used to observe inter and intragroup mean changes in glycemic [glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG)] and periodontal variables [bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment loss (CAL)] using ANOVA and RMANOVA. Proportion of change in outcome variable (HbA1c) was assessed between treatment groups using chi-square test. Change was considered significant at p-value ≤ 0.05. Results A significant reduction was observed in BOP, PPD, CAL, HbA1c and FBG over time [p < 0.05]. Significant reductions were observed in same variables in both test groups in comparison to control arm [p < 0.05]. No change between the two test groups was observed [p > 0.05]. Conclusion Scaling and root planing improves glycemic control of T2DM patients independently of the use of MET. Therefore, SRP after every 6 months may be suggested and included as a part of overall diabetes management for patients suffering from T2DM.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a sporadic disorder and is frequent among the neurocutaneous syndromes specifically with vascular predominance. This syndrome consists of constellation of clinical features like facial nevus, seizures, hemiparesis, intracranial calcifications, and mental retardation. It is characterized by focal port-wine stain, ocular abnormalities (glaucoma), and choroidal hemangioma and leptomeningeal angioma most often involving occipital and parietal lobes. The present paper reports three cases of SWS with oral manifestations and periodontal management, which included thorough scaling and root planing followed by gingivectomy with scalpel and laser in cases 1 and 3 consecutively to treat the gingival enlargement. However, the treatment in case 2 was deferred as the patient was not a candidate for periodontal surgery.

This study investigated the association between periodontitis and the risk of pharyngeal cancer in Taiwan. For this population-based nested case–control study using the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database derived from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified patients (n = 1292) who were newly diagnosed with pharyngeal cancer between 2005 and 2013 and exactly paired them with propensity score matched control subjects (n = 2584). Periodontitis and scaling and root planing (SRP) were identified before the index date. Pharyngeal cancer was subdivided into 3 subgroups on the basis of anatomic location: nasopharyngeal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, and hypopharyngeal cancer. A multiple conditional logistic regression model was applied to analyze the adjusted odds ratio (aOR). Periodontitis was associated with an increased risk of pharyngeal cancer (aOR, 1.57; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.17 to 2.10), especially oropharyngeal cancer (aOR, 2.22; 95% CI, 1.07 to 4.60). We found a decreased risk of pharyngeal cancer in patients who had undergone SRP (aOR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.61 to 0.96). In conclusion, this study showed that periodontitis was associated with an increased risk of pharyngeal cancer and SRP exerted a protective effect against pharyngeal cancer. Our results suggest that treating periodontitis and performing SRP, which are modifiable factors in oral health, in clinical practice may provide an opportunity to decrease the disease burden of pharyngeal cancer in Taiwan.
