Airflowing as an adjunctive treatment for periodontitis: A randomized controlled trial
(2024) Alsuwaidi, Salem; Shah, Maanas; Hakam, Abeer; Atieh, Momen A
Abstract Background: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess clinical and patient-reported outcomes of subgingival instrumentation (SI) with adjunctive use of erythritol airflowing (EAF) compared to SI alone in the treatment of periodontitis. Methods: Twenty-six participants with Stage III/IV periodontitis requiring non surgical periodontal treatment were randomly allocated into two treatment groups: SI with EAF or SI alone. Clinical parameters of percentage of probing pocket depths (PPDs) of ≥5 mm, full mouth bleeding and plaque scores (FMBS and FMPS), and PPD values were recorded at baseline, and at 3- and 6-months posttreatment. A visual analogue scale was used to evaluate postoperative participants’ perception of pain, swelling, bleeding, bruising, and root sensitivity. The impact of periodontal treatment on quality of life was assessed using the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) at six months. Results: A total of 26 participants with Stage III/IV periodontitis completed the 6-month follow-up. SI with or without EAF resulted in a statistically significant reductions in the FMBS, FMPS, PPDs, and percentage of PPDs of ≥5mmatthe 3- and 6-month follow-up visits. There was no statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups for any time interval. Participants receiving SI/EAF exhibited a higher reduction in FMBS compared to those in SI alone group at 3 (SI/EAF: 19.4 ± 11.9, SI alone: 30.1 ± 20.5; P = 0.12) and 6 months (SI/EAF: 14.3 ± 9.6, SI alone: 24.5 ± 18.2; P = 0.09). A lower percentage of sites with deep PPDs (≥5 mm) was also noted amongst participants in the SI/EAF group compared to SI alone at 3 months (SI/EAF:14.3±14.1, SI alone: 19.2 ±20.3; P = 0.48) and 6 months (SI/EAF: 8.3 ± 10.0, SI alone: 15.4 ± 17.4; P = 0.22). Patient-reported outcomes showed no significant differences between the two treatment groups, except in the psychosocial domain of the GOHAI at 6 months favoring the SI/EAF group (P = 0.03). Conclusions: Within the limitations of the study, the adjunctive use of EAF in addition to SI in the treatment of Stage III/IV periodontitis did not result in a significant improvement in clinical parameters. Limited improvement in the QoL with EAF could be achieved.
Influence of Implant Surfaces on Peri-Implant Diseases - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
(2024-11-11) Hussein, Ahmad; Shah, Maanas; Atieh, Momen A; Alhimairi, Sara; Amir-Rad, Fatemeh; Elbishari, Haitham
Objectives: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the current literature on the effect of implant surface characteristics on peri-implant marginal bone levels (MBL), soft tissue periodontal parameters, peri-implantitis, and implant failure rates.
Monolithic Zirconia Single Crowns Supported by Narrow or Standard Diameter Titanium Zirconia Implants in Posterior Sites: 1-Year Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
(2025-02-07) Amir-Rad, Fatemeh; Shah, Maanas; Baqain, Zaid H; Atieh, Momen A
Purpose: To compare the prosthetic outcomes of screw-retained monolithic zirconia (Zr) single crowns supported by either narrow-diameter (3.3 mm) or standard-diameter (4.1 mm) tissue-level titanium-zirconia (TiZr) implants in posterior sites.
Narrow Versus Standard Diameter Implants for Supporting Single Crown Restorations in the Posterior Jaw: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
(2025-01-25) Atieh, Momen A; Amir Rad, Fatemeh; Shah, Maanas; Baqain, Zaid H
Objectives: The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to assess clinical, radiographic and patient reported outcomes of narrow versus standard diameter titanium zirconium (TiZr) implants supporting single crown restorations in posterior sites with limited bone width.
The Effect of Implantoplasty on Fracture Resistance and Implant Surface Changes: An In Vitro and Finite Element Analysis Study.
(2023-11) Atieh, Momen A
Introduction: Implantoplasty can be performed on implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis to facilitate implant decontamination and improve access for oral home care. However, its effect on the mechanical strength of the implant is still uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of implantoplasty on the fracture resistance of dental implants with various degrees of bone loss, as well as its surface changes.
