Objectives
The aim of this article is to increase dental hygienists’ knowledge of the structure of dental implants and the characteristics of peri-implant bacterial flora, which can jeopardize implant success if not properly removed.
Materials and methods
The authors stress the importance of an adequate implant maintenance, which requires active patient compliance, effective patient teaching by the dental hygienist on the home hygiene techniques best suited to the individual needs, careful instrument-based care, and periodic personalized reminders.
Results and conclusions
Neither professional care nor patient hygiene alone is enough to ensure long-term implant integrity: the key to success is the professional-patient synergy.

Objectives
To evaluate the roughness of the enamel surface after air-polishing.
Materials and methods
Fifteen specimens of enamel-MACOR treated with modified-Bioglass 45S5 (SS), aluminum trioxide (AO), or sodium bicarbonate (BS) were analyzed using confocal (CLSM) and atomic force (AFM) microscopy to identify profilometric and micro- and nano-roughness changes.
Results
AO-treated samples were significantly rougher (p > 0.05) than those treated with BS or SS. Surfaces treated with BS or SS were not significantly different from the untreated control surfaces (p > 0.05). AO powder produced the greatest profilometric changes, whereas BS and SS produced similar profilometric changes.
Conclusions
Air-polishing with SS or BS does not alter enamel roughness, although it may have mild profilometric effects during stain removal procedures.

Objectives
To assess the effectiveness of two disposable devices for personal dental hygiene.
Materials and methods
Experimental, randomized, controlled study of a sample of young healthy adults. The subjects were randomly assigned to a test or a control group. The former subjects used the disposable dental hygiene devices (a low-density polyethylene toothbrush and a polyurethane sponge swab), and the controls used their own traditional toothbrushes. Two calibrated operators calculated the plaque index as described by Dababneh (NMPS) and the gingival index using the Löe and Silness method (GI), at the beginning of the study (T0) and after 48 hours (T1).
Results
Compared with controls, the test group presented a significant increase in the plaque index at T1 among the users of disposable devices, that was smaller in those who used the toothbrush (tooth brush p-value ≤0.002 vs sponge swab p-value ≤0.001), in comparison with the control group (one-way ANOVA).
Conclusions
The use of a disposable toothbrush is better than using a disposable sponge swab.

Objectives
The aim of this experimental in vitro study was to evaluate the effects (scratching, tartar removal from root surfaces) on dental prostheses of different oral hygiene instruments.
Materials and methods
In this study we analyzed 20 surfaces of extracted teeth fitted with fixed prostheses with complete metal crowns. There were four groups of five samples. Each group was treated with different oral hygiene tools: five surfaces were treated with standard Gracey curettes, five with an ultrasonic handpiece and piezoelectric transducer, five with an ultrasonic handpiece and magnetostrictive transducer, and five with glycine powder air polishing.
Results and conclusions
The comparative analysis of SEM and dedicated software-elaborated images shows that glycine powder air polishing is the treatment of choice for the removal of subgingival tartar and that it allows better preservation of tissues than the other instruments tested.

Objectives
The aim of this study is to determine the influence of certain lifestyles on the emergence and progression of periodontal disease.
Materials and methods
We conducted a literature review examining, in particular, the involvement of smoking, stress, and obesity in the pathological mechanisms underlying systemic diseases and periodontitis.
Results
Smoking, stress, and obesity were found to be important risk factors at both the systemic and oral-cavity levels.
Conclusions
Control of these risk factors represents a fundamental step in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Objectives
Scaling and polishing are commonly used to maintain periodontal health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different instruments for this purpose 3 months after treatment.
Materials and methods
The study included 49 participants. The following parameters were evaluated before (T0) and 3 months after (T3) treatment: clinical attachment level (CAL), percentage of sites with plaque (full-mouth plaque score, FMPS), and percentage of sites with bleeding (full-mouth bleeding score, FMBS). All subjects received instructions for maintaining good oral hygiene. In 9 subjects dental polishing was not done (controls, cc group). Twenty-five subjects were treated with dental polishing using a professional polishing cup (cop) (n = 13) or a professional polishing brush (spaz) (n = 12).
Statistical analysis
t-test and ANOVA.
Results and conclusions
At T3, the FMPS was decreased in all groups. The FMBS showed no change in the cc group, whereas mean reductions of 3.18 and 5.38 were observed in the cop and spaz groups, respectively. Analysis of the CAL showed losses in the cc (0.46) and spaz (0.19) groups and a gain of 0.57 in the cop group. Further studies are needed.
