Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test efficiency of using mouth rinse containing (H2O2 and HA) over a period of two weeks to control on gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation through measuring the clinical periodontal parameters (Gingival Index (GI), Bleeding on probing (BOP) and modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (mQHPI ) in comparison with Chlorhexidine (CHX) and placebo mouth rinses in patients with biofilm induced gingivitis. Objectives: - Evaluate the clinical efficiency of using mouth rinse containing (H2O2 and HA) over a period of 14 days to control on gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation through measuring the clinical periodontal parameters (Gingival Index, Bleeding on probing and modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index in comparison with Chlorhexidine and placebo mouth rinses in patients with biofilm induced gingivitis. - Measuring levels of salivary cytokines, Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1B) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6) at baseline visit before using mouth rinse and after 14 days of using the mouth rinse containing H2O2 and HA compared to chlorhexidine and placebo mouth rinses. - Evaluate subjects' perception of a mouth rinse (H2O2 and HA), CHX and placebo mouth rinses after 14 days from using three mouth rinse
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are rising in prevalence because of aging, unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle, and common NCDs are caries and periodontitis (here oral diseases) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Association between oral diseases and CVD has been observed in epidemiological studies, and suggested mechanisms include transfer of oral pathogen bacteria and pro-inflammatory mediators to other organs triggering immune response and systemic inflammation. Circulating mediators may initiate a response in the liver with production of C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A and increased tryptophan degradation, that contribute to CV inflammation and atherosclerosis. We have demonstrated that higher serum levels of these markers are associated with presence of hypertension and obesity and with higher risk of CVD. However, CVD and oral diseases also share many of the same risk factors, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes and smoking. Since the association of oral disease with CV risk factors mostly has been demonstrated in cross-sectional studies, the direction has not been ascertained. These CVD risk factors lead to changes in the heart and arteries (preclinical CVD); more harmful in women than men. If these conditions can impact development of oral diseases is not been investigated in large studies. Socio-economic inequalities have been reported for oral diseases and are linked to low socio-economic status (SES). It is unknown whether CV health and SES in midlife may impact prevalence of oral diseases later in life. It is also unknown if the oral microbiome differ by periodontitis severity and can be associated with inflammatory biomarkers, CV risk factors and preclinical CVD. The project will be performed in adults approaching the retirement age in Vestland county. We will combine their data from the ongoing Hordaland Oral Health Survey with their data from three surveys in the longitudinal Hordaland Health Study performed in the period 1992-2020.
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.
The study aims to investigate the genetic cause of the variability between individuals seen in the development of the gum disease, gingivitis. This will be carried out through a 3 week programme where all oral hygiene is ceased, allowing 'experimental gingivitis' to develop, followed by a period of recovery when tooth cleaning is restored. Clinical assessments and biological samples will be taken during the course of the study for further analysis.
This study is a sero-survey study of infants aged 6 months to 71 months in Bandung City and West Bandung District. As initial data to find out how many children have been exposed to human enterovirus type 71 (HEV-71) which causes Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD).
The aim of this 2- arm randomized-control study is to determine the effect of an oral hygiene self care intervention on the oral health status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of HIV-positive children (age: 8-16 years, n=172) presenting to five pediatric HIV clinics in Kano, Nigeria. The intervention will comprise oral health education and instructions on oral self-care. Data on oral health status and OHRQoL will be obtained at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months. Study findings will help inform policies to improve the oral health and OHRQoL of HIV-positive Nigerian children and guide the integration of oral health care services into HIV programs.
One-hundred and one healthy participants (221 gingival recessions-GRs) were treated from 1987 to 1996. The probing depth (PD), keratinized tissue width (KTW), gingival recession depth (RD), gingival recession width (RW), gingival recession area (RA) were evaluated and considered at baseline and along time. The obtained data will be evaluated and compared.
The aim of this study is; detection of interleukin(IL)-38, IL-36 gamma(γ) , IL-17 and matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-9 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and serum samples of periodontally healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients and the possible correlation between these values and clinical parameters of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: Samples were obtained from 90 systemically healthy non-smoker individuals with periodontitis (P, n=30), gingivitis(G, n=30) and healthy periodontium (S, n=30). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine IL-38, IL-36γ, IL-17 and MMP-9 levels in the biological samples.
Stroke is a common, serious and restrictive global health problem. Restricting the activities of daily living of stroke patients impairs patients' ability to pay attention to oral hygiene. Facial paresis and tongue weakness due to stroke may cause a decrease in the control of dental prostheses and the removal of food residues in the oral cavity. Food residues and saliva contaminated with bacteria as a result of poor oral hygiene can result in pneumonia when aspirated due to oropharyngeal dysphagia. In the literature, it has been shown that there are significant relationships between periodontal health and vitamin D and calcium intake, and that dietary supplementation with calcium and vitamin D can improve periodontal health, increase bone mineral density in the mandible, and inhibit alveolar bone resorption. In line with all these data, our hypothesis in this study is to investigate the relationship between oral health and vitamin D levels in stroke patients in rehabilitation units.
This is an open，observational and follow-up clinical trial based on the clinical trial of EV71 vaccine extended age group.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunity persistence of EV71 vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd in subjects aged 6 ~71 months after full immunization of two doses of vaccine.
