Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate visfatin levels in different stages of periodontal diseases and health, moreover the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on visfatin levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) and Serum.
The objective of this study was the evaluation of periodontal condition in pregnant women and the effect of the treatment of periodontal disease upon low birth weight.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of YH23537 in Korea patients with chronic periodontitis, in order to investigate the recommended therapeutic dose.
Smoking has been considered the most important risk factor for periodontitis among all lifestyle factors. Fewer studies evaluated longitudinal clinical and microbiological status of smokers undergoing periodontal maintenance therapy and controversial results were found. This study will evaluate clinical conditions and prevalence of putative periodontopathogens and Candida spp. in smokers and non-smokers at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Clinical parameters, including oral status assessed using Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding On Probe (BOP), Pocket Probing Depth (PPD), Gingival Recession (GR), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) will be measured in smokers and non-smokers patients with chronic periodontitis. Samples of subgingival biofilm will be obtained from the periodontal pockets and furcation sites and submitted to phenol-chloroform DNA extraction and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis using specific primers for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Prevotella intermedia, Campylobacter rectus, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida dublinienses.
Periodontal diseases are a group of diseases that affect 15% of the population and in the absence of treatment causes tooth loss. Periodontal lesions are characterized mainly by strong inflammation and hyper-vascularization. Search in blood cells and inflammatory markers attempts to explain the etiological-pathogenetic mechanisms. Innate immunity can be assessed by qualitative and quantitative analysis of blood phagocytes, natural killer cells, complement, proteins of inflammation and cytokines. Current data from the literature on this subject give contradictory results and the comparison of studies are difficult because the diversity of the populations studied, evaluated cells and the methods used. The aim of the study was to evaluate the innate immunity of patients with periodontal disease and compare it with a group of patients without periodontal disease.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of Aloe Vera and non-alcoholic chlorhexidine mouthwash in the treatment of Periodontal diseases. Methods &Material: 32 patients were selected, the following periodontal parameters were recorded at baseline, and after recording all the parameters at the baseline, Scaling, root planning, and polishing are done for all the patients participating in the study. Oral hygiene instructions were given that included brushing twice a day with a soft brush, After 2 weeks, patients in the study, were randomly (Balanced Block Randomization) equal divided into 2 groups; Group A: mouthwash aloe Vera (Alodent Co. UK) for each patient, Group B: Non-alcoholic Chlorhexidine (Perio-Kin, Livar CO. Spain) 10 ml by patients routinely washed two times in one day for about 30 seconds and lasts for 15 days, then every 7 days periodontal parameters, and at the end of 2 weeks (days 0, 7, 15) clinical changes are evaluated.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment periodontal endothelium-dependent artery of the arm in patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation undergoing primary coronary intervention.
The PREMIERS study is a proposal for conducting an adequately powered two center phase III randomized controlled trial to test whether intensive periodontal treatment reduces the risk of recurrent vascular events among ischemic stroke and TIA survivors. The study uses the resources in both states including established dental centers, Joint Commission Certified Stroke Centers, the Schools of Public Health, and the Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities. The proposal addresses specific issues with regards to recruitment of African-American and rural stroke/TIA patients advocating the use of culturally appropriate strategies to educate the study subjects regarding stroke, periodontal disease and the periodontal stroke link. The study proposes to utilize economic evaluation of the periodontal intervention from the budgetary perspective. The focus will be on the financial sustainability of providing aggressive periodontal therapy (with certain, although relatively low expenditures) in exchange for a reduction of uncertain recurrent vascular events that may require high cost emergency department utilization and/or inpatient care. The sustainability of the proposed intervention after the completion of the project is integrally linked to the health economic assessment to show the health care cost savings. By integration with a rural primary care center, with an African American majority and households with average incomes below the state average, the study ensures that the proposed intervention to reduce stroke disparity is applicable to this target population.
Aim: Use an ibuprofen mouthwash 2% irrigate subgingival in improving the progression of periodontal diseases can be evaluated. Materials and Methods: 22 patients with chronic periodontitis without any systemic disease who have had periodontal disease, and 2 molars that have periodontal pockets deeper than 4 mm on either side of the lower jaw have the clinical examinations. Interventions: For patients who participated in this study, subjects who received oral hygiene instruction and scaling root planing (SRP), After 2 weeks, They were divided into two groups as determined by randomization in this study, Experimental group: ibuprofen 2% mouthwash (made from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Islamic Azad University, Tehran), Control group: placebo, Subgingival Irrigation of ibuprofen 2% mouthwash with an insulin syringe 0.5 ml were rinsed, Clinical measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment levels (CAL), Plaque Index (PI), and Bleeding Index (BI) were recorded and the patients were recalled per once every 2 weeks for 3 months is repetitive, and at the end of 3 months, were evaluated changes in clinical periodontal parameters. ®
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of clinical injection of allogeneic human dental pulp stem cell(DPSC) in local infected periodontal tissue and determine whether injection of allogeneic DPSC is a effective way in the treatment of chronic periodontal disease.
