Filter by: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.
Following the implantation procedures; The peri-implant mucosa may begin to show signs of inflammation depending on the patient (bruxism, lack of oral hygiene) or other factors (planning errors, iatrogenic factors). These signs of inflammation may remain limited to soft tissue or may progress to bone depending on the host response. Another relevant factor in such cases is peri-implant mucosa thickness. Our study aims to investigate the effect of peri-implant soft tissue thickness on the degree of peri-implant disease and the contribution of soft tissue augmentation procedures applied with subepithelial connective tissue graft and non-surgical mechanical treatment results, accompanied by clinical and biochemical parameters.
Except for patients with referred clinical bruxism and uncontrolled medical conditions, the study included 123 implants with implanted fixed prostheses that had lasted at least six months after functional prosthetic loading. In all implant patients, the health scale ranged from implants and natural teeth to plaque, gingival index, bleeding in the probe, mouth depth, loss of clinical attachment, and dental implants. The health and illness of the implants have been determined. Patients were divided into three groups: peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implant health. Inclusion Criteria: - Patients between the ages of 18- 70 - Drugs that have a systemically healthy and controlled treatment situation - Drivers who have implant-supported fixed prostheses that have been at least six months after functional prosthetic loading Among these groups, it was checked whether periodontitis was seen in patients with peri-implantitis, gingivitis in patients with peri-implant mucositis, and whether healthy gums were seen in individuals with peri-implant health. To determine the health and disease status of individuals' implants, plaque index (Silness Loe 1964), gingival index (Loe Silness 1963), bleeding on probing (Ainoma Bay 1975), pocket depth measurements, and clinical attachment level were collected.
Objective: This study was conducted in order to examine the effect of oral self-care protocol based on Orem's Self-Care Deficiency Theory on oral mucositis and self-care agency. Method: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial between August 2021 and July 2022, patients with hematological malignancies receiving high-dose chemotherapy at the Izmir Ege University Faculty of Medicine Hospital and Izmir Training and Research Hospital. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 60 patients, including 30 application groups and 30 control groups, who met the inclusion criteria using the computer-based stratified randomization method. The study data were collected using "Patient Information Questionnaire," "WHO-Oral Mucositis Toxicity Scale," "Oral Assessment Guide," "Self-Care Agency Scale," "Data Collection Form Prepared According to Orem's Self-Care Deficiency Nursing Theory," "Oral Care Chart," and "Oral Cavity Photography." The oral self-care protocol, which includes training and oral care practices, was applied to the application group for 21 days from the beginning of chemotherapy treatment. The control group was not subjected to any oral care attempts by the researcher and received standard nursing care in the clinic. The data were evaluated by descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Mc Ne-mar test, the Kappa compliance test, and the t test in dependent and independent groups.

The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effect of a curcuma longa oral gel (curenext) on reducing radiation-induced oral mucositis severity in cancer patients and provide a context for understanding if there is a relationship between the curcumin clinical effect and production of EGFs and IL8. Researchers will compare between curcumin group and standard treatment group.
The goal of this observational PMCF study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of the medical device KalobaNaso (a nasal spray) in children, adolescents and adults with common cold symptoms, such as runny nose, nasal congestion and rhinitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the product effective in the treatment of common cold symptoms? - Is the product safe? After buying the product, participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire, in order to: 1. Assess the cold symptoms before the use of the nasal spray. 2. Assess the resolution of cold symptoms after the use of the nasal spray. 3. Describe the adverse effect(s)/problem(s) observed while using the product (if any).
The main objective of the present clinical study project, of a cross-sectional observational nature, is to evaluate the presence of submucosal cement residues through endoscopic visualization in clinical situations with peri-implant disease. The secondary objective is to investigate the potential correlation between the severity of the pathological condition and the spatial position of cement residues in relation to the implant-prosthetic unit. For each subject, the following data were collected: gender, age, periodontal history, smoking habits, reasons for implant rehabilitation (trauma, caries, periodontitis, agenesis, other), the position of the implant in the oral cavity, elapsed time between prosthetic rehabilitation and pathological condition. If the deposit was recognized as cement residue, its presence was recorded, and the anatomical position of the cement residue (mesial, distal, lingual/palatal, vestibular) and the spatial position of cement residues in relation to the implant-prosthetic unit were collected.
126 individuals with peri-implant disease and health, aged between 18-70 years, who applied to Bolu University Faculty of Dentistry Periodontology Clinic, participated in the study.The inclusion criteria for patient participation in the study were: age of patients between 18 and 70 years; the presence of at least 20 natural teeth in the oral cavity; systemic health. Peri-implant status was determined by the clinician (T.Ş.) by evaluating dental implants' plaque, gingival index, bleeding on probing, pocket depth measurements, and clinical attachment level. In addition, them systemic illness, pregnancy, breastfeeding status, medication, antibiotic use, and whether they smoked were questioned. Systemically unhealthy patients who did not use antibiotics within a month, were breastfeeding or pregnant, had uncontrolled diabetes, rheumatic fever, a history of lung and kidney disorders, and used drugs that could affect periodontal tissues were not included in the study. After examination, the patients were divided into three groups according to their disease: Peri-implantitis (42 patients), peri-implantitis (42 patients), and peri-implant health (42 patients). Demographic characteristics (age, weight, gender, height, education, and employment status) of the participants were collected with a questionnaire. With this survey, fermented foods and probiotic products such as bacon, soy sauce, pickles, sourdough bread, whole grain, rye, wholemeal bread, ayran, kefir, turnip, vinegar (homemade), pomegranate syrup (homemade), probiotic beverage, the frequency and amount of consumption of cheese, dark chocolate, tablets, capsules, chassis, butter and other (Kimchi, sauerkrauth, miso soup, fermented herring, kombucha, etc.) were determined. It was requested to determine the relationship between the health and disease of the implant and the frequency of consumption of fermented and probiotic products and foods in individuals with implants.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Streptococcus salivarius K12 for prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiotherapy for malignant head and neck tumors.
Oral mucositis is characterized by ulcerative and inflammatory changes in the oral mucosa and is frequently seen in pediatric oncology patients receiving chemotherapy. Oral mucositis negatively affects the child's daily life functions, nutrition and quality of life. Pain is the most commonly reported side effect in mucositis. Pain impairs patients' ability to chew, swallow and speak, leading to inadequate fluid/nutrient intake, malnutrition and communication problems. Weight loss, dehydration, mucosal ulceration, fluid-electrolyte imbalance may develop in patients who cannot be fed adequately, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) can be started. Other important complications of oral mucositis are oral bleeding and infection. The ulcerated oral mucosa creates an entrance gate for microorganisms, increasing the risk of bacterial/fungal/viral infections. Infections may be limited only to the oral mucosa, as well as systemic infection and septicemia. As a result, the length of hospital stay of the patients increases, the treatment costs increase and their quality of life deteriorates. Therefore, early diagnosis of oral mucositis, planning and implementation of oral care are important. Responsibility of nurses in the management of oral mucositis; monitoring the oral cavity for symptoms, diagnosing mucositis, providing appropriate oral care, and educating patients. In this context, it is extremely important to prevent oral mucositis, to evaluate the oral mucosa using a scale, and to reduce the degree of oral mucositis, that is, to perform appropriate oral care for its recovery, in terms of preventing other health problems and ensuring the well-being of the child. The aim of this thesis is to determine the effect of oral care with coconut oil on the degree of oral mucositis in pediatric oncology patients.
