Filter by:The purpose of this research intervention is to assess the oral health status and periodontal health of patients with diabetes hospitalized on a general medicine service, and to assess the effect of providing dental prophylaxis and motivational interviewing to patient health-seeking behaviors and provider attitudes towards oral health, as well as on patient health outcomes.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential risk of abusive behavior for children in care using nitrous oxide for dental care.
This study investigates the levels of advanced oxidation protein product and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in gingival crevicular fluid in periodontal disease and health. 25 participants with chronic periodontitis, 25 participants with gingivitis and 25 periodontally healthy subjects are included into this study. In each participant, four sites are identified for gingival crevicular fluid samples.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)-related antibodies and periodontal inflammation in subjects at-risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Subjects will undergo periodontal and joint examinations, as well as collection of body fluids to measure Rheumatoid Arthritis-related antibodies.
In the field of periodontics, periodontal support therapy has proven to be essential in preventing the incidence or recurrence of periodontal diseases. The protocol is designed according to the risk profile of a patient. For example, in the presence of the history of periodontal therapy, subgingival microbiota containing large numbers of spirochetes and mobile rods can recolonize pockets 4-8 weeks after scaling. Similarly, routine maintenance of dental implants has been recommended to prudently avoid peri-implant inflammation, Indeed, the understanding of the nature of the tissue around the implant and its pattern of disease would be important to consider, even surpassing importance. Recently, a systematic review by our group has identified the importance of maintenance therapy around implants because it can help prevent about 3 times patient-level frequency peri-implantitis. Henceforth, our primary goal was to study the influence in a cross-sectional study of the frequency of peri-implantitis patients according to their post-implant placement and corresponding prosthesis visits supportive peri-implant maintenance. As such, it will be shown: 1. What are the local and systemic factors affecting the appearance of peri-implantitis 2. The ideal frequency of supportive peri-implant maintenance in patients who do not develop peri-implant disease 3. What is the population of patients who come to supportive peri-implant maintenance after placement of dental implants
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ST266 will reduce pocket depth (PD) as an adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) in subjects with moderate to severe periodontal disease.
This is a single center, double blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Qualified subjects will be enrolled and randomized to either one of the two study groups: a) using 0.3% triclosan/copolymer/fluoride dentifrice twice daily - b) using a matching control dentifrice (copolymer/fluoride/no triclosan) twice daily.
The investigators' earlier study reported a high prevalence of chronic periodontitis among obese Malaysian adult population. Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) has been shown to effectively reduce microbial load and contributes to reduction in periodontal parameters and inflammatory burden up to 6 months post-therapy. This study will cast light on the effects of obesity on chronic periodontitis (CP) patients following NSPT. The objectives of the study were to quantify and to compare the periodontal pathogens, serum and salivary interleukins in obese and non obese with CP following NSPT.
Obesity is an epidemic with increasing prevalence in the Asia Pacific region. The first Malaysian national estimate in 1996 of obesity was 5.8%. A systematic review reported a marked increase in obesity in 2003, 2004 and 2006 with 12.2%, 12.3% and 14.0% respectively. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease which results in gingival inflammation, irreversible attachment loss, alveolar bone destruction and eventually tooth loss. Worldwide, the prevalence of periodontitis in the adult population is about 10-15%. Periodontal disease, through inflammation and destruction of the periodontium produces clinical signs and symptoms, some of which may have a considerable impact on quality of life (QoL). A positive association between obesity and periodontal disease was repeatedly demonstrated worldwide. Obese individuals have elevated levels of circulating TNF- α and IL-6 compared to normal weight individuals. These cytokines decrease after weight loss. Adipokines produced by adipose tissue could be one of the mechanisms mediating the association between obesity and periodontal disease. This suggests that obesity may have the potential to modify the host's immunity and inflammatory system. This project will extend the existing information on the association between obesity and periodontal disease including QoL aspect to a Malaysia population. It will also improve knowledge on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underpin obesity-periodontal disease relationship. By extension, this study also will cast light on the effects of periodontal interventions for the subgroup population.
The aim of this clinical study is to asses the effect of ultrasonic periodontal debridement associated to locally delivered doxycycline (20%) by PLGA microspheres on chronic generalized periodontitis treatment.
