"It might be a boat, or a plane, or a platinum plaque or a bestselling book or even egg whites, turkey sausage, and a glass of water for breakfast".
Carotid ultrasound was performed, and B-mode images of the right and left carotid artery, carotid bifurcation, and the first centimeter of the internal carotid were obtained in multiple planes and assessed for plaque.
If the gum disease is more advanced, your dentist may recommend scaling and root planing treatments to remove stubborn plaque and help gums to heal.
Oral hygiene was evaluated with the Quigley–Hein index (QHI, plane surfaces) and the approximal space plaque index (API) after staining (MIRA-2-TON, Hager & Werken GmbH, Duisburg/Germany).
All the participants underwent scaling and root planing, in case the presence of plaque or calculus prevented proper placement of the retainers.
This involves intensive removal of subgingival dental plaque biofilms by scaling, root-planing and removal of teeth that cannot be saved, following administration of local anaesthesia.
The intervention involves intensive removal of dental plaque biofilms by scaling, root-planing and removal of teeth that cannot be saved.
This is often accomplished through non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT), including oral hygiene instructions (OHI), scaling and root planing of the root surface to remove plaque, calculus and bacterial toxins from deep periodontal pockets.
Carotid artery plaques were measured in the longitudinal plane.
These dimensions yielded a distance between consecutive connexon images on the membrane plane comparable to that observed in real connexon plaques measured by atomic force microscopy [72].
