33 results about "Gingival margin" patented technology

The free gingival margin is the interface between the sulcular epithelium and the epithelium of the oral cavity. This interface exists at the most coronal point of the gingiva, otherwise known as the crest of the marginal gingiva.

Toothbrush

The present invention relates to a toothbrush which exhibits superior interproximal and gingival margin cleaning. The toothbrush includes an elongated handle member connected to a toothbrush head member. The head is divided into two regions. A "toe" region is defined as the part of the head which is furthest from the handle and a "heel" region is the portion of the head which is closest to the handle. A multiplicity of bristles extend from the heel region of the head; the distal ends of these bristles form a longitudinally aligned concave shape when viewed on end. Likewise, a multiplicity of bristles extend from the toe region of the head, wherein said bristles extending from the toe portion of the head are at least as tall as the general height of said bristles extending from the heel portion when viewed from the side and wherein the side profile view of the distal ends of the bristles extending from the toe portion form a generally linear surface which forms an angle relative to the general plane of the bristles extending from the heel portion of from 0 DEG to about 45 DEG declining from the edge of the toe portion distal to the heel portion to the edge of the toe portion which is proximal to the heel portion.

Methods of predicting treatment outcome in chronic periodontitis patients

The invention is a new method for predicting when subjects having chronic periodontitis will fail or succeed conventional standard therapy. The method uses measures of the plaque cadaverine fraction with additional measurements including age, fraction of gingival margins that bleed on probing (BOP), and clinical attachment level (CAL in mm) to calculate discriminant function equations for calculating individual score sets. When CF is above 0.45 in periodontitis patients, it is predicted that most available therapies with which the periodontitis patient can be treated will fail, including a conventional standard treatment or an aggressive combined antibiotic / oral hygiene therapy.
