Filter by:Background: Furcation is the bifurcation or trifurcation of a multirooted tooth. It is an area of complex anatomic morphology difficult to debride by routine periodontal instrumentation. Multiple approaches have been used in an effort to treat the furcation Choukroun's platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second generation platelet concentrate has biochemical components which have well known synergetic effects on healing processes. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the treatment of mandibular molar Grade 2 furcation defects in comparison to allograft and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane.
50 periodontitis 50 healthy individuals serological evaluation will done to see association of 77A/G AND 11A/12A gene polymorphisms of MMP-13
To elucidate the relationship of chewing miswak sticks on the H. Pylori infection in the oral cavity.The study would be conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, Kuwait University. Oral plaque samples would be obtained from those patients who are willing to participate. As a part of the initial screening the plaque samples would be collected and sent for screening of oral microbiota to the Microbiology Department of Faculty of Dentistry, Kuwait University. Here, the basic microbial culturing (rapid urease test) would be performed for detecting the presence of oral H.Pylori. Volunteers who are tested positive for H. Pylori infection through the rapid urease test would be invited to participate in the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether scaling and root planing as a periodontal intervention helps in improving the overall health of patients suffering from coronary heart disease.
Analysis of inflammatory markers in periodontitis and patients with early and middle stage renal disease.
There are different protocols to treat gum diseases. One relevant differential aspect is related to time. There are protocols that usually takes one to two months to be completed while other are completed within 24 hours. Although both protocols seem to provide clinically similar improvements, there are some positive aspects related to the short-term one. Among them lower number of clinical sessions, easier schedule and costs advantages. However, there are many other relevant aspects that can be helpful for patients and clinicians decisions regarding type of treatment. This study evaluates if and how clinically effective protocols used to treat periodontitis affect quality of life related to individual's oral statuses. In addition, the experiences of fear, anxiety and pain before and after these specific protocols are monitored.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of photoablative and photodynamic diode laser in adjunct to scaling-root planing (PAPD+SRP) and SRP alone for the treatment of periodontitis.
Aim: to evaluate the additional effects of the 12 weeks usage of a Streptococcus containing probiotic tablet after scaling and rootplaning compared to a placebo tablet. Materials and methods: 48 periodontitis patients were included in this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. After scaling and rootplaning, they were given patients used either a placebo (SRP) or probiotic tablet (SRP + P), 2 times a day for 12 weeks. Clinical and microbiological parameters were studied recorded up to 24 weeks after scaling and rootplaning.
combining the non-surgical therapy with a well-tolerated substance that can stimulate protective immune responses like B-glucan, might effectively mount resolution pathways contributing to resolving of the chronic lesion observed in aggressive forms of periodontal disease.
The aim of this study is to assess the influence of the severity of chronic periodontitis on hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients.Secondary purposes of this protocol is to identify evolution of several biomarkers and correlate the clinical situation with oral microflora.
