There are about 250 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iraq. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This research studies the effectiveness of the Gum Health gel in minimizing post operative sequelae associated with the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars
A randomized clinical trial to introduce a modified 3D printed customized maxillary protraction facemask and evaluate its efficacy in comparison with the conventional maxillary protraction facemask therapy in correction of Class III malocclusion of young patients
Dental Implants that are teeth replacements usually place with two stages. In the second stage the implant fixture, (which is the body that inserted in the bone is exposed to place the artificial tooth), is exposed using surgical blade, however; an alternative method using diode laser may be used. This study aimed to compare the two methods in relation to pain anticipated by the patients and the need for local anesthesia usage.
Gingivitis is an inflammatory condition of the gingival tissue, most commonly caused by bacterial infection.The plaque control is considered the most important preventive factor concerning caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis Mechanical means of plaque control, e.g. tooth brushing, flossing and use of other mechanical devices are the most commonly used methods. However, ideal plaque control solely by mechanical means requires a significant effort and is difficult to achieve.This has led to the introduction of chemical methods of plaque control using antimicrobial agentsMore specifically, chemotherapeutic agents with antimicrobial properties, such as 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX).chx has side effects encourage the need to develop alternative mouthwashes with similar efficacy but without these issues.hence the mouthwash enriched with a combination of aqueous extracts of Salvadora persica L. and green tea used as a substitution to CHX with minimal side effects .The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the combination of Gt aqueous extract and Sp aqueous extract in reducing plaque buildup and gingivitis for 4 weeks duration.
Thalassemias are a heterogeneous grouping of genetic disorders that result in dysfunctional Hb, reduced RBC life span leading to chronic anemia . Thalassemia is endemic in the Middle East. Iron chelation therapy (ICT) is one of treatment used however ICT is associated with patients adherence problem thus impacting its effectiveness .
Apical lesions usually present clinically as a chronic infection, remaining as asymptomatic apical periodontitis(AAP). Because the balance among inflammation and bacteria is a dynamic process, AAP may undergo an acute exacerbation and become symptomatic, presenting as symptomatic apical periodontitis or acute abscess, or it may evolve from the acute to the chronic stage. Identification of specific biomarker could help in establishing more accurate diagnosis. Biological marker serves as a parameter that is indicative of underlying physiology and health of the tissue. It is measurable as well as quantifiable. The aim of this study: To assess the level of potential biomarkers in asymptomatic and symptomatic apical Periodontitis, and to determine the prediction potential of the same biomarkers for the outcome of endodontic treatment after 1year recall…
detailed changes after ultrasound guided cry for plantar fasciitis in regard pain score and plantar fascia AP diameter in ultrasound scan pre and 30 days post operation
The aim of this study protocol is to describe the rationale and methodology for evaluating the effect of using therapeutic exercises and ultrasound in the rehabilitation of partially injured hamstring muscles on elite football players.
Background: One of the most frequent surgical operations in dentistry is the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which is accompanied by a sequelae of swelling, trismus, and pain. Various techniques have been employed to either prevent or reduce these postoperative outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, few clinical researchers have investigated the effect of local application of Alvogyl paste and Chlorhexidine gel, in the management of pain, facial swelling, and trismus resulting from lower third molar surgical extraction. Aim of the study: The study was meant to compare the effects of 0.2% chlorhexidine gel and Alvogyl paste on the reduction of the inflammatory reaction caused by the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which includes pain, facial swelling, and trismus.
Periodontitis is a destructive inflammatory disease of tooth supporting tissues and it adversely affects oral and general health as well as lowering the quality of life. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy is a gold standard technique for treating mild to moderate periodontitis and it was reported to significantly improve oral health related quality of life.
