The effect of non-surgical and surgical mechanical root debridement on infrabony defects: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the outcomes of non-surgical and surgical mechanical root debridement for the treatment of infrabony defects and explore potential prognostic factors. Treated infrabony defects followed for at least 1 year were selected. All data pertaining to the clinical outcomes were recorded. Multi-level regression analysis and Cox Proportional-Hazards Models were used to assess the immediate (3-6 months) clinical outcomes, survival of the treated teeth, and factors influencing these results. 132 patients were included in the analysis. The analysis showed 1.42 ± 1.71 and 2.23 ± 1.64 mm in pocket depth (PD) reduction, 0.13 ± 1.83 and 0.08 ± 1.76 mm in clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, and 1.29 ± 1.56 and 2.15 ± 1.33 mm increase in gingival recession (REC) for the non-surgical and surgical groups, respectively. The 5-year survival rates were 93% for the non-surgically and 90% for the surgically treated teeth. Several factors affected clinical outcomes and tooth survival. Within its limitations, the treatment of infrabony defects with non-surgical and surgical mechanical root debridement was found to result in moderate but significant PD reduction, nevertheless, this may also be attributable to the resultant REC.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vancomycin-loaded calcium sulfate beads and negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in treating children with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHOM).MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 2017 to January 2020 examining children (n = 60) with AHOM who were treated with surgical debridement followed by vancomycin-loaded calcium sulfate beads and NPWT (n = 32) and compared to treatment by conventional surgical debridement (n = 28) followed by NPWT. Conventional surgical treatment consisted of fenestration of necrotic infected bone, debridement of surrounding soft tissue, and washing of the medullary canal before the application of NPWT. In the vancomycin group, the antibiotic-loaded beads were implanted after washing the medullary canal and before the application of NPWT. Epidemiological factors, complications during the procedure, outcomes at last follow-up (30.0 ± 11.7 months, range 13-58 months), and laboratory parameters were documented and compared between the two groups.ResultsGood outcomes were achieved at last follow-up in 71.4% of the conventional treatment group and 75% of the vancomycin group. In the vancomycin group, it took a mean of 4.8 ± 2.5 days for CRP levels to decrease to 50% of initial inflammatory levels compared to 13 ± 9.6 days for the conventional treatment group (p = 0.001, t-test). The conventional group also had seven patients who underwent four or more surgeries whereas no patients in the vancomycin group underwent more than three surgeries (p = 0.013, chi-square test).ConclusionLocalized vancomycin delivery with NPWT effective for treating cases of AHOM that required. No perioperative adverse reactions or complications occurred from this treatment method. Based on the shortened recovery period of CRP levels, prolonged administration of post-operational parenteral antibiotics can possibly be reduced with this treatment method.

Project description:BackgroundHaemorrhagic stroke, accounting for 10-20% of all strokes, often requires decompressive surgery as a life-saving measure for cases with massive oedema and raised intracranial pressure. This study was conducted to compare the demographics, characteristics and rehabilitation profiles of patients with severe haemorrhagic stroke who were managed surgically versus those who were managed non-surgically.MethodsA single-centre retrospective study of electronic medical records was conducted over a 3-year period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020. The inclusion criteria were first haemorrhagic stroke, age of >18 years and an admission Functional Independence Measure (FIM™) score of 18-40 upon admission to the rehabilitation centre. The primary outcome measure was discharge FIM™. Secondary outcome measures included modified Rankin Scale (mRS), rehabilitation length of stay (RLOS) and complication rates.ResultsA total of 107 patients' records were analysed; 45 (42.1%) received surgical intervention and 62 (57.9%) patients underwent non-surgical management. Surgically managed patients were significantly younger than non-surgical patients, with a mean age of [surgical 53.1 (SD 12) vs. non-surgical 61.6 (SD 12.3), p = 0.001]. Admission FIM was significantly lower in the surgical vs. non-surgical group [23.7 (SD6.7) vs. 26.71 (SD 7.4), p = 0.031). However, discharge FIM was similar between both groups [surgical 53.91 (SD23.0) vs. non-surgical 57.0 (SD23.6), p = 0.625). Similarly, FIM gain (surgical 30.1 (SD 21.1) vs. non-surgical 30.3 (SD 21.1), p = 0.094) and RLOS [surgical 56.2 days (SD 21.5) vs. non-surgical 52.0 days (SD 23.4), p = 0.134) were not significantly different between groups. The majority of patients were discharged home (surgical 73.3% vs. non-surgical 74.2%, p = 0.920) despite a high level of dependency.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that patients with surgically managed haemorrhagic stroke, while older and more dependent on admission to rehabilitation, achieved comparable FIM gains, discharge FIM and discharge home rates after ~8 weeks of rehabilitation. This highlights the importance of rehabilitation, especially for surgically managed haemorrhagic stroke patients.
