Filter by:Despite extensive research on periodontitis, little attention has been given to the symptoms and perception of peri-implant diseases and their impact on oral health-related quality of life. The study aims to assess patient perception of these diseases and their impact on quality of life through a cross-sectional observational study. Patients will be recruited from the Unit of Periodontics at "Le Scotte" University Hospital and will undergo diagnosis followed by questionnaire assessments. No follow-up visits are planned, and validated questionnaires will be administered to evaluate perception and impact on quality of life. Study procedures will include recording biometric peri-implant parameters and administering questionnaires such as the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14).
The goal of this [ type of study: Clinical trial] is to test effectiveness of Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey in management of Radiation Induced Mucositis in head and neck cancer patients. The main question [s] ] is to [ learn about, test, compare etc.] it aims to answer are: 1. Is Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey effective in management of Radiation Induced Mucositis? 2. Does Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey affect the level of TGFβ1 and EGF in saliva of patients with radiation induced mucositis? participants will be asked to apply Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey or saline three times daily during radiotherapy and 6 months after radiotherapy.
In 10 systemically healthy non-smokers, free of periodontitis, one newly restored implant (baseline-T0) and one corresponding tooth were followed over 12 months (T1). All implants were screw-retained, and platform-switched. Oral hygiene was closely monitored during the study. Probing pocket depth (PPD), attachment levels (CAL), bleeding and plaque indices and crevicular fluid were collected from an implant-site (PICF) and a tooth-site (GCF). Total proteomic profiles in PICF and GCF were investigated using label-free quantitative proteomics.
The aim of this study is to analyse contiguous dental implants and its peri-implant status depending on different inter-implant distances.
A prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel clinical trial will be conducted at Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Center at Mansoura University Hospital to assess the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine in the prevention of radiotherapy induced oral mucositis in Head and Neck cancer patients.
The investigators will conduct a 2-arm 6-month randomized clinical controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral Telehealth Intervention (THI) in preventing cancer-related oral complications, improving oral health maintenance and oral health related quality of life, and reducing systemic inflammation compared to Usual Care (UC) among unselected cancer survivors.
The performance of the predictive models for the occurrence and severity of oropharyngeal mucositis established using either oral cavity contouring method or mucosa surface contouring method was unsatisfactory in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Whereas the predictive model of a mucosal contouring method based on swallowing-induced breakthrough pain exhibited better overall performance in locally advanced NPC. Therefore, the investigators aimed to conduct a prospective, multicenter, real-world observational study to further assess the predictive efficacy of this mucosal delineation method for radiation-induced oropharyngeal mucositis in NPC.
Radiation oropharyngeal mucositis is one of the most painful side effects of radiotherapy in patients with head and neck tumors. However, the traditional radioactive oropharyngeal mucositis grading system has the problem of poor evaluation consistency. To solve this problem, we innovatively classify radiation oropharyngeal mucositis into four types according to the four-stage histopathological changes of acute radiation injury: (1) congestive; (2) Scattered erosion type; (3) Fusion erosion type; (4) Ulcer type. We intend to conduct a multicenter observational cohort study to compare the consistency of different physicians in the assessment of radiation oropharyngeal mucositis with new and traditional classifications, and to explore changes in blood markers of different types of oropharyngeal mucositis using clinical residual blood samples.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with more than 700,000 new cases and more than 350,000 deaths each year. At present, radiotherapy is an important measure to control the recurrence of head and neck tumors, but almost all patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma will have acute inflammatory reactions such as radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) after radiotherapy, which seriously affects the quality of life and radiotherapy efficacy of patients. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute phase protein associated with inflammation. Our previous basic research found that serum SAA1 expression levels can be used as biomarkers to assess the dose received by the receptor in the early stages of radiation damage. At the same time, we confirmed that the serum level of SAA1 in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma increased after radiotherapy. Therefore, we intend to conduct a prospective, multicenter, observational study to further explore the predictive power of plasma SAA1 levels for radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis, with a view to early screening and prevention of RIOM patients.
This study aims to observe the effects of keratinized mucosa width on peri-implant tissues by evaluating clinical and biochemical parameters. The main question it aims to answer is: Would increasing the width of the keratinized mucosa with free gingival graft (FGG) in peri-implant mucositis be beneficial in terms of clinical periodontal parameters and peri-implant crevicular fluid levels of inflammatory cytokines compared to non-surgical therapy alone? Our study consists of 4 groups: Peri-implant healthy group with sufficient keratinized mucosa (≥ 2mm) (n=16), peri-implant mucositis group with sufficient keratinized mucosa (n=16), peri-implant mucositis group with insufficient keratinized mucosa (< 2mm) receiving only non-surgical treatment (n=16), peri-implant mucositis group with insufficient keratinized mucosa receiving FGG in addition to non-surgical treatment (n=16). Clinical and biochemical measurements will be recorded at the baseline, 1st month, 4th month and 7th month of the study. Peri-implant crevicular fluid samples will be collected at baseline, 1st month, 4th month and 7th month. IL-1β, RANKL, OPG levels, and RANKL/OPG ratio will be analyzed from collected samples. Researchers will evaluate the possible benefits of FGG application in addition to non-surgical therapy by comparing the biochemical and clinical changes in areas with and without FGG application in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis.
