Filter by:Neopterin has been identified as a marker of cellular immune system activation. It is synthesized by macrophages upon stimulation with the cytokine interferon-gamma and is indicative of a pro-inflammatory immune status. Neopterin concentration increases with increasing severity of periodontal disease in diverse body fluids like Urine, Saliva and Plasma. Hence Neopterin can be considered as an important inflammatory marker in periodontal disease as well as other systemic diseases.
To evaluate the respective or combinatory efficacy of locally delivered 2% Minocycline (MO) and surface and root planning (SRP) by assessing both clinical parameters and the loads of four main periodontal pathogens in treating chronic periodontitis.
BACKGROUND: Periodontal disease is an infection that results in progressive loss of dental support, which may lead to tooth loss.. The goal of the present study was to evaluate if recombinant human Fibroblast Growth Factor type 2 (rhFGF-2) applied in periodontal intrabony defects in a hyaluronic acid (HA) carrier would enhance the clinical paramenters of regeneration of the periodontal attachment apparatus and the long-term maintenance of the results obtained. METHODS: Thirty adult patients were evaluated. Initial treatment consisted in plaque control measures executed previously to the experimental phase. Two intra-bony defects in each patient were ramdomly allocated for each of the treatment methods employed. Control group (n=30) were treated by open debridement with the papilla preservation flaps, while the text group (n=30) also received a topical application of rhFGF-2/HA in the intrabony defect. The parameters evaluated were, probing depth (PD), gingival recession (REC), probing attachment level (PAL) and probing bone level (PBL). Clinical measurements obtained at baseline and 1, 5 and 10 years after the surgical procedure were compared.
Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory disease with the etiology of bacterial plaque and is associated with a number of putative bacterial species. The periodontal destruction is substantially mediated by the host, driven by the bacterial challenge. The presence of pathogenic bacteria with the absence of so-called "beneficial bacteria" and the susceptibility of the host are the main aetiological factors of periodontal diseases.
In this study, the investigators evaluated molecular biomarkers which play a role in the development of generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) using gingival tissue samples through omics-based whole-genome transcriptomic while using healthy individuals as background controls.
Multicenter, prospective, interventional open case series study using a randomized split-mouth design in moderate to severe chronic periodontitis patients having half-mouth treated with the KLOX BioPhotonic OraLum gel with a LED curing lamp as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical periodontal treatment (SRP) versus SRP alone in the second (control) half-mouth.
This study will determine whether the supplemental use of chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing is more effective than scaling and root planing alone in clinically reducing periodontal probing depth (PD), reducing bleeding on probing (BOP), and gaining clinical attachment level (CAL). It also will assess whether chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing will have an effect on biomarkers of inflammation.
Patient with periodontal disease undergoing full mouth disinfection will be given dietary supplements or placebo and reevaluated after 3 months.
A Pharmacokinetic Pilot followed by a Phase I/II, Blinded, Randomized, Controlled, Parallel Arm Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of PerioSept® and Scaling and Root Planing in Subjects with Periodontitis
Diabetic patients may show different release of growth factors when microvascular complications such as; retinopathy or periodontitis are seen. Diabetes have an adverse effect on periodontal health and periodontal infection have an adverse effect on glycemic control and incidence of diabetes complications. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that growth factors levels releasing from platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in diabetes mellitus (DM) may be decrease because of periodontitis is considered to be the sixth microvascular complication of diabetes or diabetes may have inductive effect on PRF growth factors levels in periodontal disease. Determination of PRF growth factors levels may be beneficial to treatment of diabetic patient with periodontal disease by using PRF.
