Periodontal ligament

In this essay, I will be discussing the method and results of two academic journals on the topic of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries within females who play football. Paper one, taken from the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation examines longitudinal changes in hip strength and range of motion within female youth soccer players, whereas paper two, taken from Asian J Sports Med highlights the most likely situation where an ACL injury occurs. The reason that both of these studies are so…

As previously mentioned, female athletes have a much higher rate of anterior cruciate ligament injuries then male athletes. However, the question that needs to be considered is, should hormones be a reason researchers should consider? In the article, Knee and Hip Loading Patterns at Different Phases in the Menstrual Cycle, Daiuseviciute and…

Return to soccer following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common injuries of lower limb in soccer. The touchstone for treatment of ACL tear is surgical reconstruction, which may overcome functional instability of knee joint, thereby lowering the risk of subsequent damage to articular cartilage and menisci. However, there is lacking clear criteria when deciding with players aiming for return to competitive games after ACL…

scary reasons women are more likely to tear their ACLs”, Shape.com, a leading lifestyle magazine for women, asked Dr. Armin Tehrany to provide expert insight on ACL injuries in women. The ACL is the ligament that runs diagonally in the middle of the knee. It is one of the most important ligaments in the knee joint as it prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur, and it provides rotational stability to the knee. But according to a 2010 study published in the North American…

place in the jawbone by the periodontal ligament. The ligament runs around the submerged part of the tooth as well as its roots. It acts as a shock absorber so that the tooth doesn’t rub against the jawbone when pressure is applied. The periodontal ligament also ensures that the tooth remains separate from the jawbone and prohibits additional bone growth in the socket. Wisdom teeth are enclosed in a fluid filled sac as they grow that is used to create the periodontal ligament. Dentists and oral…

end of treatment relapse, could be a return to the original teeth position, caused by periodontal,occlusal,soft tissue factor and growth. Orthodontic relapse is a complex problem. 1,2 Studies have shown that stability and relapse following orthodontic treatment are unpredictable, with a relapse tendency of 33–90 per cent after at least 10 years post-treatment. 3 One major reasons is the gingival and periodontal tissues are affected by orthodontic tooth movement and require…

throughout a time span of years when a tooth without an opposing tooth will continue to erupt until it is super erupted and requires extraction. Also teeth do not just move forward to fill a space, they fall forward causing periodontal pockets which in time lead to periodontal disease resulting in extraction. Right now restorative material is being used to fill spaces that carious disease tooth structure has been removed. Missing teeth whether diseased or congenitally missing, are being…

Many adult SCs are derived from the cranial neural crest during development and contribute to the formation of condensed dental mesenchyme, dental papilla, odontoblasts, dental pulp, cementum, periodontal ligaments, and chondrocytes (Chai, fate of mammalian). Adult SCs have been identified in tissues including skin, intestine, liver, brain, and bone marrow. An adult SC can divide and create another cell like itself, as well as a more differentiated…

use of systemic host modulatory therapy may not only improve the patient’s periodontal condition but also provide systemic benefits for other inflammatory disorders with related tissue destruction, such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, dermatologic conditions, diabetes and osteoporosis. SDD is indicated in the management of chronic periodontitis66. SDD should not be used in conditions such as gingivitis or periodontal abscess, or whenever an antibiotic is indicated. SDD can be used in…

Phase II – Surgical To correct the periodontal defects occurring in this client I would suggest a particular therapy called Phase II Surgical Therapy. I would suggest two possible surgical therapies to the client. Firstly, I would recommend that the client should have an extraction of certain teeth (particularly the 37) since mastication, at this point of the progression of the periodontal disease, is reduced. Before these teeth are removed, it is important to advise the client that partial…
