View clinical trials related to Chronic Periodontitis.
Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare urine iodine levels of participants with/without periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is there a relationship between iodine levels of urine and periodontitis. Participants will give urine samples without any intervention.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly caused by the oral microbial biofilm. It involves the periodontal supporting tissues mainly features gum inflammation, alveolar bone resorption, periodontal pocket formation, and tooth loosening but also induces various systemic diseases, which seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients. The response to periodontal infection is mediated by various intracellular signalling pathways leading to the production of numerous bio-molecules. Vitronectin is a multifunctional protein with a multiple binding domain that interacts with a variety of plasma and cell proteins. It belongs to the group of adhesive glycoproteins that is involved in various functions including complement activation, blood coagulation, binding to proteoglycans, and modification of the matrix. Among the various cystatins expressed in serum and saliva, Fetuin-A, an another protein is produced majorly by healthy hepatic and adipose tissues. Fetuin-A has been recognized as a multifunctional molecule related to its role in metabolic processes, insulin resistance, regulation of adipogenesis and mineralization throughout the body. The study aims to determine the expression of Vitronectin and Fetuin-A as potential pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory biomarkers respectively. These protein molecules can further play a role as putative risk indicators in periodontitis subjects with and without coronary artery disease following non-surgical therapy.
This study will determine if cannabidiol (CBD) has any effect on local inflammation in periodontal maintenance patients. Many successful therapies exist for the active, untreated periodontal patient. Unfortunately, periodontology has not yet discovered a therapy that will predictably treat local inflammation in patients who are at risk for further pocketing, bleeding on probing, bone loss and ultimately, tooth loss. Although CBD has been patented in various forms since the 1940s, its acceptance and availability to patients has only recently expanded. Marketing of CBD to periodontal patients as a means to control inflammation is commonplace online and in CBD-specific shops. In determining if CBD is a successful supplement to conventional periodontal inflammation control therapies, millions of patients could benefit from this treatment.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease is initiated by the oral microbial biofilm where in the response to this infection is mediated by various intracellular signalling pathways leading to the production of numerous bio-molecules. . Calprotectin is major cytoplasmic protein expressed in majority by neutrophils and as well seen in gingival epithelial cells, activated macrophages and vascular endothelial cells in minor amounts. Calprotectin is regarded as acute phase protein that increases during a variety of inflammatory diseases like periodontitis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Periostin is a marked anti-inflammatory protein belonging to fascilin family which actively contributed to tissue injury, fibrosis, atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases Hence this study aims to determine the expression of Calprotectin and Periostin as biomarkers and also as putative risk indicators in generalized chronic periodontitis subjects with or without cardiovascular disease before and after non-surgical therapy.
Periodontitis is the inflammation of the tissues supporting the teeth. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon Citratus) oil mouthwash can be used with subgingival scaling in the treatment of periodontal diseases. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine belonging to transforming growth factor superfamily and its elevated levels are detectable in inflammatory and healing process The present project will be conducted to evaluate the expression of TGF-β levels in chronic periodontitis patients after ultrasonic scaling and using 0.25% lemongrass oil mouthwash. TGF-β is a salivary marker of periodontitis.
The suppression of chronic periodontitis after application of dental gel and toothpaste containing cannabidiol (CBD) will be evaluated.
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a spectrum of conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. The components of MetS include dysglycemia, visceral obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein) and hypertension. An association of periodontal disease and MetS has been suggested. This association is believed to be the result of systemic oxidative stress and an exuberant inflammatory response. Physical activity is associated as a potential tool for reduction of periodontal disease prevalence. The frequency of physical activity is directly related to a low occurrence of periodontitis.
RESEARCH QUESTION: Will there be a difference in periodontal health of two groups of periodontally compromised orthodontic patients with early and delayed start of orthodontic treatment after periodontal surgery? Population: Adult orthodontic patients with periodontally compromised dentition requiring periodontal surgical management Intervention: Fixed orthodontic treatment started 10 days after periodontal surgery Control group: Fixed orthodontic treatment started 3 months after periodontal surgery Outcomes: changes in osseous (Alveolar bone level) and non-osseous (PI, GI, BOP, PD, CAL) periodontal parameters of the teeth involved in periodontal surgery. Time frame: One year and four months Study Design: Prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. Specific: Yes Measurable: Yes Achievable: Yes Relevant: Yes Time: One year and four months Feasible: Trained staff, infrastructure, time, study design Interesting: A new treatment protocol will be investigated. Novel: No study comparing these waiting time intervals after periodontal surgery before starting orthodontic treatment. Ethical: Yes Relevant: As there is no clarity on waiting period after periodontally surgery in periodontally compromised adult patients, this study will be of great help in establishing treatment management protocol of such patients.
The present investigation is designed in order to compare the radiographic and clinical effectiveness of flapless procedure performed alone or in combination with enamel matrix derivatives in the periodontal regenerative treatment of deep intrabony defects in patients with moderate or severe periodontitis. The study will have a follow-up of 12 months.
This early-stage research is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in chronic periodontitis patients. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the device might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
