There are about 253 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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of four different methods (including the control group) in reducing pain during debonding of fixed orthodontic appliances in participants requiring the removal of their fixed orthodontic appliance. The main question it aims to answer is which method (biting on a cotton roll, biting on a soft thermoplastic elastomeric sheet, and the use of low-level vibration in reducing pain during the debonding procedure) is most effective in reducing the patients' pain during debonding of conventional orthodontic fixed appliances. Participants will be asked to give their pain score on a scale of 0 to 100 VAS (visual analogue scale) for every region of the dentition. the researcher then will compare different scores of different methods to find the most effective method in reducing pain.
To evaluate the effectiveness of resveratrol mouthwash as adjunct to NSP treatment of periodontitis
Peri-implantitis is an inflammation of bacterial etiology characterized by inflammation of mucous membranes and bone loss around the dental implant. A specific dental plaque bacteria could stimulate host cells, including the junctional epithelium, to secrete a range of pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in initiating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. EMT has been described as the transdifferentiation of epithelial cells into motile mesenchymal cells. Moreover, cytokines and bacterial products have been highlighted as EMT-predisposing factors. The EMT process could render epithelial cells to lose their cell-cell adhesion and cell polarity that lend these cells to lose their function as an integrated epithelial barrier. E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule that establishes cell-cell adhesion that plays a critical role in maintaining a barrier function in the human epithelium, including gingiva. The loss of E-cadherin is one of the most common biological indicators for EMT. In contrast, vimentin is an intermediate filament expressed in mesenchymal cells and is a canonical marker for EMT, which also promotes cell motility and an invasive phenotype. It is largely reported that EMT is regulated by various transcriptional factors such as Snail Family Transcriptional Repressor SNAIL1 and SNAIL2, zinc-finger E-box-binding (ZEB)1 and ZEB2 and TWIST transcription factors that suppress epithelial marker genes, and activate genes related with the mesenchymal phenotype. Recently, in vivo study has investigated the level of EMT markers in the gingival tissues of periodontitis patients. It was found that the expression of E-cadherin was downregulated while vimentin expression was upregulated. Despite the similarities and differences between the pathogenesis of periodontal and peri-implant diseases, the role of dental biofilm in the etiopathogenesis of the aforementioned diseases was studied largely. While it is now accepted that EMT may potentially play a role in periodontal disease pathogenicity, the possible role of EMT in the disintegration of the peri-implant epithelial barrier and the pathogenesis of peri-implant disease has not yet been investigated.
The study is randomized controlled trial ... The null hypothesis of the present study is that there is no antibacterial efficacy of gold nanoparticles of pelargonium graveolens mouthwash against Streptococcus mutans and Candida Albicans . Meanwhile the alternative hypothesis of the present study is that gold nanoparticles of pelargonium graveolens mouthwash have antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Candida Albicans .
A randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of two methods of lip taping as a presurgical orthopedic appliances on maxillary arch dimensions in infants with bilateral cleft lip and palate.
Effect of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 with an Absorbable Collagen Sponge on Stability of Dental Implant: (Split Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial Study.
This study is to evaluate the effects of different cleaning regimes i.e. chemical and mechanical on biofilm formation of an acrylic based removable orthodontic appliance and to find out if surface modification i.e. polished acrylic fitting surface, have an impact on cleaning the biofilm formation.
1. To compare the postoperative pain between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day. 2. To compare the postoperative swelling (edema) between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day. 3. To compare the degree of trismus between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day. 4. Measure patients' perceptions of changes in their quality of life in the postoperative period and compare it between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day.
One of the common serious complications in the postoperative phase is Residual the neuromuscular blockade that confused the anesthesia medical team also patients may become uncomfortable, un ability to clear secretion, un-explanation of decreasing SPO2, increase respiratory effort and lead to an increase in the risk of respiratory complication. Most clinicians used clinical assessment to evaluate neuromuscular recovery such as a head lift for 5 seconds, Sustain leg lift, Tongue protrusion, teeth clenching, swallowing, Tidal volume 5 mL/kg, Handgrips Sustained for 5 seconds, and other clinical assessments in patients undergoing general anesthesia. A few studies have been discussing the utilization of hand dynamometers in the assessment of post-residual neuromuscular block. Our aim is to examine the neuromuscular recovery using a hand dynamometer after receiving Atracurium versus Rocuronium.
Morbid obesity, is known to be associated with a high risk of VTE and, unfortunately, fixed doses of anticoagulant regimens may not provide optimal VTE prophylaxis in these patients especially after surgery.
