Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) and L-PRF combined with dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) application to the extraction socket of mandibular third molars.
Investigators hypothesize that in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) the severity of periodontal disease is significantly higher compared to patients without OSA in every aspect, including PI, PD, CAL and BOP. The number of lost teeth is hypothesized to be also higher in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Purpose: evaluation of periodontal status in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. An analytical cross-sectional study will be conducted at the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry of the Sechenov University, Moscow. Investigators are planning to recruit 100 patients: 1) patients with OSA confirmed by polysomnography -75 participants aged between 35 and 65; 2) patients without OSA -25 participants of a similar age. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome will be sub-divided into three sub-groups according to OSA severity: 2A group - patients with mild apnea severity; 2B group - patients with medium apnea severity; 2C group - patients with severe apnea. All participants will undergo a dental examination including the following parameters: plaque index (PI; Silness & Loe, 1964), bleeding on probing (BOP), and touch depth of the pocket (PD), the level of clinical attachment loss (CAL). Investigators will also evaluate the number of lost teeth.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of surgical flap design on the healing of intrabony defects treated by means periodontal regeneration. Forty patients were enrolled and allocated random in two groups. Patients of test group received a minimally invasive surgical flap , while patients of control group received a conventional access flap. In both group the intrabony were treated by means the same periodontal regeneration procedure (i.e application of enamel matrix derivative). Periodontal parameters were recoded at baseline and after 12-months observation time.
Evaluate the response of the gingival tissues to the use of mouthwash with chlorhexidine and chlorhexidine + hyaluronic acid in terms of healing of the periodontal surgical wound.
Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory and polymicrobic disease characterized by the irreversible loss of alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment of the teeth. Chronic periodontitis is the most prevalent type of periodontitis and it is seen in the great majority of the adult population. The main objective of periodontal treatment is to heal the inflammatory tissue, to eliminate unhealthy periodontal pockets, and to reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria. The traditional treatment of chronic periodontitis is debridement performed with hand tools and ultrasonic devices. However, in deep pockets, which are difficult to access, mechanical root surface debridement is not sufficient to remove the biofilm via root instrumentation. The regeneration of the periodontium aims at the reconstitution of the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum. Platelet concentrates have gained popularity in regenerative periodontal therapy due to their autologous nature. Their regenerative potential is associated with growth factors such as TGFβ-1, PDGF, EGF, IGF-I, and VEGF, stimulate cell proliferation and regulate matrix remodeling and angiogenesis. Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that regulate cell growth and development. They also modulate cell proliferation, migration, extracellular matrix formation and other cellular functions in epithelization. In addition, some growth factors may function as cell differentiation factors. These functions of the growth factors support epithelization following surgical periodontal treatment and reduce postoperative pain and swelling with their anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, studies have reported their antibacterial potentials. Different platelet concentrates such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are obtained when whole blood is centrifuged at different speeds and for different durations. When the literature is reviewed, it is seen that these platelet concentrates are frequently used in regenerative therapies in dentistry. In 2010, Sohn et al. obtained autologous fibrin glue (AFG), an injectable platelet concentrate, by centrifuging venous blood for two minutes in a special centrifuge device (Medifuge, Silfradent, Italy; 2400-2700 rpm). AFG is used, by mixing it with bone grafts, in the production of sticky bone, which could be an alternative to titanium mesh and bone block procedures that enable grafts to remain more stable in defects. It was found in the literature review that studies on AFG, which is a second-generation platelet concentrate, are limited in number. It was also found that these studies were conducted on sticky bone, obtained by mixing AFG with bone grafts, and there are no studies in which AFG is used alone to treat periodontal diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of AFG, an injectable platelet concentration, on clinical parameters in the nonsurgical treatment of chronic periodontitis.
The extraction of deep impacted mandibular third molar may cause periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in preventing periodontal complications at the distal root of the second molar adjacent to the extracted third molar.
Clinical evaluation of using erythritol powder as air polishing with ultrasonic scaling and root planing in the treatment of initial periodontal pockets. This trial will be split-mouth design, in which each patient will receive traditional treatment (ultrasonic mechanical therapy and polishing) in one side, while the contralateral two quadrants of the jaws will be treated with erythritol powder by means of air polishing and ultrasonic scaling and root planing.
Clinical evaluation of local administration of injectable PRF (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) in periodontal pockets as adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing. 15 periodontal patients will receive a through traditional mechanical treatment (scaling and root planing). Each patient will receive subgingival i-PRF injected in half mouth and the opposite side will be injected with saline, immediately after the deep scaling session.
vitamin D has great role in bone regenration and soft tissue health. in the past periodontal regeneration was performed using bone graft and barrier membrane
