Filter by:The aim of the study was to evaluate if there were differences in oral findings between patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma and a control group of health people.
Current evidence suggests a bidirectional association between periodontitis and diabetes. Periodontal therapy improves short term HbA1c levels and is safe to perform. Most studies are focused on type 2 Diabetes. Literature about the correlation between periodontitis and type 1 diabetes is scarce, since no randomized clinical trials have been performed. The objective of the present clinical investigation is to evaluate the effects of nonsurgical treatment of periodontal disease on glycemic variability in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). The hypothesis is that nonsurgical periodontal therapy affects glycemic variability in terms of time spent in hyperglycemia.
Interleukin (IL)-38 is the newest member of the IL-1 family. It can bind to receptors through various pathways and regulate the formation and function of inflammatory cytokines. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can start with localized inflammatory reactions created by the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth against microorganisms and then result in loss of teeth. The aim of this study is to compare the IL-38, IL-1β and IL-10 levels of healthy and periodontitis individuals.
The present study aimed to investigate clinically the cleaning effectiveness of different treatment modalities, that is, oral irrigator or interdental brush usage addition to routine brushing and examine interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-8 levels in gingival crevicular fluid of orthodontic patients. The null hypothesis was that oral irrigators would be effective compared to interdental brush in the oral care of individuals who are orthodontic patients.
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between periodontal disease and coronary artery disease through changes in the gut microbiome. In addition, the investigators aim to find possible periodontal pathogens that have association with cardiovascular disease.
Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth. Hydroxylated poly methoxy flavones are a combination of naturally occurring flavonoids extracted from the orange peel and exert anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal activity however, this extract is poorly soluble and poorly absorbable. In this work, this extract was formulated as a solid dispersion formulation to enhance its biological activity and then incorporated into a gel base and used in the treatment of periodontitis after clinical debridement.
sub gingival application of hyaluronic acid create great clinical improvement of periodontal pocket treatment.
Patients diagnosed with stage III or IV periodontitis that exhibit mandibular first or second molars with increased periodontal probing depth (PPD > 4 mm) and class II buccal mandibular furcation defects (horizontal probing depth of >= 3 mm ) will be recruited. This study will be a non-inferiority, prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial with a parallel design. Patient will be recruited from the clinics of the School of Dentistry at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and private dental practices in Thessaloniki, Greece. Initially, non-surgical periodontal treatment will be performed through scaling and root planning in combination with oral hygiene instructions and motivation. The re-evaluation will be performed 4-6 weeks following the treatment and the patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Patients will be randomly allocated at a 1:1 ratio to either subgingival debridement and flapless application of EMD (test group) into the affected furcation defect or to periodontal surgery in combination with EMD application (control group). Periodontal and radiographic parameters, patient reported outcomes, oral cavity measurements and gingival crevicular fluid will be collected before as well as up to 9 months following the treatment.
The adjunctive topical subgingival application ozone gel creates a great improvements in the clinical, bacteriological and immunological parameters over the gold standard of periodontal pocket treatment alone.
The objective of this study will be to evaluate a new protocol for the surgical treatment of periodontal disease with two novelties: to make a single incision in the midline of the interproximal area to respect the vascular supply and preserve the granulation tissue with regenerative potential. The investigators will carry out a controlled and randomized clinical trial with a control group (n=25; modified Kirkland flap) and a test group (n=25; experimental surgical protocol: incision in the mid-interproximal area of the papilla and preservation of the granulation tissue). Clinical parameters will be taken at the time of surgery and 12 months follow-up: bleeding on probing (BoP), clinical attachment level (CAL), residual probing depth (rPD),Probing pocket depth reduction (PPDr), recession (REC), interproximal gingival recession (iGR), width of keratinized gingiva (KT), gain of supra-alveolar clinical attachment (SUPRA-AG), early wound healing index (EHI).
