Filter by:The quantification of the proteomes : L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin was analysed in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus.The demographic and the periodontal parameters were assessed and the correlated with the quantification of the proteins. The mRNA expression was analyzed with RT-PCR and the quantification of protein was done using ELISA.
The goal of this study is to evaluate if dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) delivered into intrabony defects in a collagen scaffold would enhance the clinical and radiographic parameters of periodontal regeneration.
Periodontitis is related to host genetics, constitution of the dental biofilm and environmental factors such as smoking. DNA methylation is a mechanism of genetic expression that can inhibit or silence gene expression. In this way several researchers have been dedicated to study the genetic influence on the susceptibility and / or increased risk to periodontal disease. Studies have reported association between several epigenetic biomarkers with periodontal inflammation. Considering the hypothesis that there is an association between smoking and methylation in genes related to periodontal disease, the objective of this study was to verify the DNA methylation pattern in oral epithelial cells of patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) in the promoter of a specific gene involved in the control of inflammation, as suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 1 in smokers and nonsmokers patients.
Background: Melatonin is an endogenous indoleamine synthesized mainly by pineal gland and showed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Moreover, melatonin promotes osteoblastic differentiation and suppresses osteoclastic formation. This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was aimed to assess the additive effect of melatonin supplementation in generalized chronic periodontitis (gCP) patients with insomnia who received scaling and root planing (SRP). Methods: Seventy four gCP patients with primary insomnia participated in this 6-month RCT and randomly distributed between two groups. Melatonin group (MTN+SRP group, n=38) included patients who were subjected to SRP with a 2- month regimen of 10 mg oral melatonin supplementation capsule once daily at bed-time. In the control group (Placebo+SRP group, n=36), SRP was performed for participants provided with matching placebo capsules. The primary treatment outcome included the clinical attachment gain (CAG) after 3 and 6 months of therapy, whereas, the changes in pocket depth ,bleeding on probing (BOP%) and salivary tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels represented the secondary outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis that switching from cigarette smoking to using IQOS improves the response to periodontal therapy and the overall oral health status compared to continuing cigarette smoking. Note: "IQOS" is the Tobacco Heating System (THS) with Marlboro Heatsticks, marketed in Japan under the brand name IQOS
More than ninety percent of adults in Taiwan are suspected to carry periodontal disease, which causes bad breath, swollen and bleeding gums, plaque and even tooth loss. Half of the patients, however, are ignorance these clinical syndromes because of no obvious pain. In this study, the investigators selected six periodontal disease-associated bacteria strains, including Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Treponema denticola (Td) and Prevotella intermedia (Pi) as diagnostic markers. Using real-time PCR and MALDI Biotyper, the investigators will establish the database of oral microorganisms in Taiwanese people, providing periodontal disease clinical markers of high-risk groups and the basis for personal medicine of therapy in the future.
Background: The purpose of the present study is to research whether stress scale scores alter with relationship to gingival inflammation and examine the impact of non-surgical periodontal therapy during pregnancy on the levels of cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and on salivary stress-related hormones. Methods: 30 non-pregnant (control group) and 30 pregnant women (test group) who fulfilled the study inclusion criteria were chosen. The participants with moderate/severe gingivitis were included. Clinical data and samples of GCF and salivary were collected at baseline and after periodontal therapy. The levels of cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-10, and concentration of salivary chromogranin A (Cg A) hormone were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.
This study aimed at understanding the impact of educational pamphlet on Risk Perception of Periodontal Disease using A Randomised Clinical Trial model among patients in a Nigerian outpatient dental clinic
The aim of this study was to investigate whether cigarette smoking had any impact on the clinical outcomes 1 year after active periodontal treatment. Eligible for the study were 5680 individuals 20-85 years, referred to the specialised clinic for periodontal treatment at Gävle County Hospital between the years of 1980 and 2015. Before examination, all individuals filled in a questionnaire regarding their medical health, medication and smoking habits. Excluded were edentulous individuals and where clinical data 1-year after active treatment, or smoking habits were missing (n=1453). Complete data for analyses was available for 4227 individuals.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the additional effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy regeneration treatment of mandibular furcation lesions when associated to bovine bone and porcine collagen membrane.
