Filter by:The investigators hypothesize that blood dendritic cells harbor pathogens from the oral cavity in chronic periodontitis and disseminate these pathogens to atherosclerotic plaques.
The hypothesis of this study is that using "Bio Mineral" toothpaste for 4 weeks will decrease plaque and gingivitis of mild periodontitis patients compared to patients using "Perio Total Care" toothpaste. This study is Single blind, Randomized, Active-controlled Comparative clinical trial to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety following the application for 4 weeks of Bio Mineral toothpaste in patients with mild periodontitis.
The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare wound healing after the use of fibrin sealant and sutures for gum surgeries. 15 patients requiring gum surgery for their periodontal (gum)problems are selected and invited. Two regions will be operated in a selected patient. One region will receive fibrin sealant (test site) and the other region will get sutures (control site). Wound healing will be assessed by evaluating inflammatory markers, Interleukin 1beta and interleukin 8, from a non invasively collected gum fluid. Hypothesis. Fibrin sealant use will result in less inflammation seen through reduced levels of interleukin (1beta and 8) compared to use of sutures.
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a method of microbial reduction which can benefit periodontal treatment in areas of difficult access, such as deep pockets and furcations. The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of PDT as an adjunct to full-mouth ultrasonic debridement in the treatment of severe chronic periodontitis. Methods: Twenty-two patients with at least one pocket with probing depth (PD) ≥ 7 mm and one pocket with PD ≥ 5 mm and bleeding on probing (BOP) on each side of the mouth were included, characterizing a split mouth design. The control group underwent full-mouth ultrasonic debridement and test group received the same treatment associated with PDT. The following clinical parameters were evaluated: plaque index, gingival index, BOP, gingival recession (GR), PD, and clinical attachment level (CAL). All parameters were collected before, 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment.
The goal of this study is to determine if patients with chronic periodontitis when undergoing with scaling and root planing (SRP) plus photodynamic therapy in comparison with SRP alone result in improved clinical, microbiological and biochemical outcomes.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) mixed with b tricalcium phosphate (BTCP) for the treatment of advanced periodontal osseous defects at 6 months of healing.
Purpose: The proposed study will evaluate and compare the clinical response of using bioresorbable collagen membrane alone or defect debridement with erbium Laser irradiation in conjunction with bioresorbable collagen membrane in the treatment of Class II furcation defects in maxillary and mandibular teeth. The study will examine whether there is a superior regeneration potential when the laser energy is combined with membrane defect isolation. Procedure: The study will use 2 groups, a control group and a test group with 16 patients in each group, with severe chronic periodontitis having clinical or radiographic evidence of Class II furcation defects in the buccal or lingual of the mandibular molars or Class II furcation defects on the buccal of maxillary molars. 16 patients will serve as the control group and open flap debridement with bioresorbable collagen membrane will be the mode of treatment. Group 2: 16 patients will serve as the test group and will undergo open flap debridement in conjunction with Er, Cr: YSGG laser irradiation and a bioresorbable collagen membrane will be used.
Orthodontic Treatment will affect the periodontal status of periodontally treated Aggressive Periodontitis patients.
The study was designed to assess the effectiveness of conservation ridge preservation (horizontal and vertical dimension) after tooth extraction with and without combination of bone substitutes based on synthetic (calcium sulfate mixed with phosphate.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of YH14642 in Korea patients with chronic periodontitis, in order to investigate the recommended therapeutic dose.
