Filter by:This is a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT). After signing the informed consent, patients satisfying the inclusion criteria will undergo supragingival and subgingival professional oral hygiene of both arches performed with ultrasonic instrumentation with PEEK inserts, manual instrumentation with titanium curettes and air polishing with glycine powder. After that, the following treatment will be randomly assigned: - Ozoral Pro and Ozoral gel administration and home application for 2 peri-implant mucositis sites. - Curasept chlorhexidine gel 1% administration and domiciliary application for 14 days for 2 peri-implant contralateral sites. The study will last 6 months. Patients will be visited at: T0, after 1 month from T0 (T1), after 3 months (T2), after 6 months (T3). Professional hygiene will be performed again at T2 and T3. At each recall session, the following periodontal clinical indices were collected using a probe on each peri-implant site: BOP, GBI, conditions of the marginal mucosa (swelling and erythema), suppuration, migration of the marginal mucosa, PD, PI ,BS.
The study was carried out to determine the efficacy of propolis in the prevention of oral mucositis and gastrointestinal symptoms associated with oral mucositis in patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome receiving high-dose chemotherapy and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 64 patients, 32 in the propolis and 32 in the control group, were involved in the prospective randomized controlled experimental study. While the standard oral care treatment protocol of the clinic was administered to the control group, aqueous propolis extract was applied to the propolis group in addition to the standard oral care treatment protocol.
Oral mucositis (OM) is recognized as one of the most frequent debilitating sequela encountered by head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated by radiotherapy. The objective of the study is to assess primarily the effect of topical oral Omega-3 hydrogel in prevention of radiation-induced oral mucositis and secondarily, to test the effect of topical oral Omega-3 hydrogel on oral microbiome.
The aim of the current study was to study the effect of diode laser in the treatment of chemotherapy induced mucositis in young patients suffering from leukemia
Oral mucositis (OM) is a common and debilitating adverse effect of conditioning regimens in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). It is treated symptomatically with pain relief medications. The use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to prevent tissue damage has been postulated for almost forty years, however, there are only a few reports concerning old generation lasers in mucositis prophylaxis in HCT recipients. Here we hypothesized, that a new generation LLLT (Nd: YAG Fotona LightWalker®) laser may be an effective prophylaxis in shortening and reducing the severity of this complication.
Phase angle (PhA) is a biometric parameter measured by bioimpedance analysis (BIA), which reflects organism cellularity and tissues hydration. In addition, since it correlates with the presence of inflammation and the nutritional status, it could be useful to monitor inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity. The aim of this study was to establish the potential use of PhA as a new non-invasive and sensitive marker correlated with mucosal healing and/or IBD activity.
This study evaluated the benefits of immunonutrition regarding the prevention of severe mucositis. Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing definitive concurrent chemoradiation including 3-week cycles of cisplatin were enrolled in this double-blind phase II study. Patients were randomly assigned to receive an immunonutrition containing omega-3-fatty acids, arginine, dietary nucleotides, and soluble fiber or an isocaloric isonitrogenous control. All patients received the assigned product 5 days before each chemotherapy session. The proportion of patients with severe mucositis was compared between the immunonutrition and control groups.
The aim of the present study is to collect data on the feasibility of a preventative/therapeutic approach of radiation-induced oral mucositis with benzydamine oromucosal solution (mouthwash) in patients with head and neck cancer.
A prospective study will be conducted at the Department of Oral Medicine, Periodontology, Diagnosis and Oral Radiology Faculty of Dental Medicine, Assiut branch Al-Azhar University. Patients with head and neck cancer under RT, CT treatment participated in this study were selected from South Egypt Cancer Institute. During clinical examination the medical history of the patient will be recorded. Data related to base illness, type and stage of RT treatment, association or not to chemotherapy will be collected during the whole treatment. After clinical examination, the patients will receive a kit containing toothbrush, dentifrice, and subsequent oral hygiene instruction. Then the patients will be classified into 3 groups as follow: Group I (control group): the patients will be treated by using oral care only and evaluation will be done before cancer treatment and weekly till the treatment completed. Group II: the patients will be treated by using 0.15% bezaydamine hydrochloride. All patients were advised to rinse 15 mL of the solution benzydamine for 2 min, four to eight times daily before and during, and for 2 weeks after completion of cancer therapy. Group III: the patients will be treated by using a low-level laser therapy, the irradiations will be done three times a week using low power laser with a wavelength of 870 nm. The irradiation mode will be punctual and in contact, perpendicular to the oral mucosa.
Oral mucositis (OM) is an inflammatory mucosal demolition frequently observed during treatments for neoplastic diseases such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The side effects of these treat-ments often drastically reduce patients' quality of life. OM are the result of the systemic consequences of chemotherapy and radiotherapy which, due to their cytotoxic and local effects, lead to pain and severe ulceration with a consequent decrease in the quality of life of affected subjects. Plasma Rich in Fibrin is often used to enhance soft tissue wound healing and fight bacterial sepsis through the presence of leukocytes within it. Aim of the retrospective study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of topic use of platelet gel in clinical management of oral mucositis in order to improve life quality of patients.
