Filter by:Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease results is destruction of the attachment apparatus of the teeth and ultimately tooth loss. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process comprises of series of events that influence a polarized epithelial cell to undergo molecular/morphological changes leading to acquisition of mesenchymal cell phenotype. This process is responsible for suppressing epithelial-phenotype and it is known to be triggered by chronic exposure to inflammatory cytokines, Gram-negative bacteria, hypoxia, smoking, and hyperglycemia. Both periodontitis and EMT share common risk factors/promoters; however, the role of EMT in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is not fully elucidated yet. Potential induction of EMT within periodontal pockets may disrupt epithelial barrier thus facilitating invasion of pathogenic periodontal pathogens to deeper tissues resulting in further tissue breakdown and non-resolving periodontal lesion.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the use of probiotics in domiciliary oral hygiene procedures in pregnant women. Patients consenting to participate to the study will undergo periodontal evaluation at the baseline (T0). Then, professional dental hygiene will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned to: - Trial group: home oral application of Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste + Biorepair Peribioma mousse twice a day - Control group: home oral application of Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste Patients will be evaluated after 1 month (T1), 3 (T2) and 6 (T3) months.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility i. e. to examine all aspects necessary for the implementation of a future randomized clinical trial that aims to determine whether non-surgical periodontal treatment can be improved by concomitant intake of vitamin D.
Methods: 100 consecutive patients with their first ever ischemic stroke were enrolled in the study. 56 randomly selected patients were subjected to stimulation of salivation, the remaining patients were not stimulated. The severity of the neurological condition was assessed using the NIHSS scale on days 1, 3 and 7 of stroke. The incidence of periodontal diseases was classified using the Hall's scale in the 1st day of stroke. On days 1 and 7 of stroke, the concentration of IL-1beta, MMP8, OPG and RANKL in the patients' saliva was assessed using the Elisa technique. At the same time, the level of CRP and the number of leukocytes in the peripheral blood were tested on days 1, 3 and 7 of the stroke, and the incidence of upper respiratory and urinary tract infections was assessed.
This study will evaluate the use of Livionex Dental Gel (LDG) as a home care product in reducing probing pocket depth (PD) beyond the effect achieved by the current standard of care with SRP in periodontitis patients.
Several micro-RNA plays a key role in endothelial function and may be a link for the known interaction of periodontitis and cardiovascular disease. The investigators compared the impact of gingival health, periodontitis (CP), cardiovascular disease or of both diseases (CP +cardiovascular disease) on gingival crevicular fluid miRNA 7a-5p, miRNA 21-3p, miRNA 21-5p, miRNA 200b-3p, miRNA 200b-5p, miRNA 100-5p, miRNA 125-5p levels.
Mouthwash is one method of maintain oral health and to reduce the dental plaque and gum inflammation. However, the effects of mouthwash on oral bacteria were not consistent among different brands of them. The aims of present study were to determine the effects of a new designed mouthwash with hypochlorous acid on oral bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus. All participants were invited as a volunteer to attend this study from a private dental clinic and diagnosed by the same dentist. Patients with periodontal diseases were randomized selected as mouthwash group and mouthwash plus dental flossing device (La Chlogen, Taiwan) group. Patients for regular dental visit and without periodontal disease were invited as a control group having mouth rinse with water. After the inform consent was signed, participants completed the intervention study, saliva collection, and a simple survey under the guide of a dental assistant. Saliva samples were collected before and after the intervention for bacterial DNA extraction. A real-time polymerase chain reaction and S. aureus with serial dilutions were applied for the estimation of total oral bacterial count (TOBC) in saliva. An in vitro assay with CCK-8 reagent was apply to test the antibacterial ability of mouthwash.
Using Graphene oxide in the surgical management of periodontal intrabony defects.
The present prospective study aims to assess the QoL of periodontitis patients during supportive treatment and to relate it to periodontal health (clinical and radiographic data) and treatment stability. Follow-ups after the first cross-sectional assessment are planned after approximately 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 years.
The objective is a 3-year follow-up clinical trial to evaluate longitudinal indicators of periodontal disease (plaque score, bleeding on probing (BOP), and gingival index (GI)) in 58 participants who completed NCT03571958. These participants were randomized to a brief motivational (BMI) test group or a traditional oral hygiene instruction (OHI) group for a 1-year clinical trial from 2018-2020. In addition, analysis of retrospective data to determine health topics that emerge from the behavior change strategy of BMI compared to traditional OHI by transcription of audio recordings from 2018-2020.
