Filter by:The goal of this study is to facilitate early diagnosis of gum disease. Proteins associated with cell death will be isolated from gum pockets of diseased and healthy patients and evaluated.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether there was an association between obesity and periodontitis, tendency to caries and periapical lesions. People who have a higher body mass index produce cytokines (hormone-like proteins), that lead to systemic/chronic inflammation (like periodontitis and periapical lesions), and obesity related dietary habits could result in an increment of dental caries because both the amount and the frequency of sucrose ingestion are important factors associated with the aetiology of the oral disease.
Periodontal disease (commonly called gum disease) is generally treated by deep cleaning of the root surfaces of the teeth. This is also called scaling and root planing. Placing a topical antibiotic into the periodontal pocket at the time of scaling and root planing may help reduce pocket depth and thus help the periodontal disease. Periocline (minocycline HCl) 2.1% gel is a topical antibiotic approved in a number of countries for this use, and is now being tested in the US.
The present clinical trial clarified that basic fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) can induce regeneration of periodontal tissue lost by progression of periodontitis and evaluated the safety of such induction.
The effect of Antibacterial Nanoparticles, Incorporated in cement, on S.mutans in the margins of provisional restorations is going to be examined clinically by using two kinds of provisional cement 1. cement with out antibacterial nanoparticles. 2.cement with small addition of IABN. after one week in the mouth the crowns are to be removed and examined for the presence and quantity of s. mutans. in vitro tests of the same has shown significant reduction in bacterial population around the provisional cement as compared to the regular cement.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the placement of a PerioChip Plus (flurbiprofen/chlorhexidine - FBP/CHX) formulation versus PerioChip (chlorhexidine) formulation versus Flurbiprofen Chip formulation versus Placebo Chip formulation on probing pocket depth (PPD)
Periodontitis is a chronic disease of the supporting tissue of the teeth, characterized by bleeding and inflamed gingival, resorption of alveolar bone. This disease has a significant impact of the quality of life as the teeth become progressively mobile and may fall out spontaneously if no treatment is provided. Periodontal disease has been cited as the sixth complication of diabetes mellitus.Chromogranins / secretogranins are a family of proteins present in nervous endocrine and immune cells, released with catecholamines during stress situations. Chromogranin A (CGA) is the major member of this family.The aim of this study is to determine the level of CGA and its derived peptides in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of health or diabetic patients with and without periodontitis.Then, we want to determine the antimicrobial activity of these peptides.
The purpose of this study is to measure the antimicrobial effects of Arestin in subjects with moderate to advanced periodontal disease
This is a pivotal, prospective, randomized, blinded, multicenter study to evaluate two treatments of photodynamic disinfection in adults with chronic periodontal disease. The study is expected to enroll a total of up to 105 subjects.
The hypothesis of the existence of a causal association between the systemic infectious/inflammatory burden represented by periodontitis and endothelial function assessed by flow mediated dilatation of the brachial artery (FMD) is the subject of the proposed investigation. The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of periodontal therapy on endothelial function assessed by Flow mediated dilatation (FMD). The rationale for this project is twofold: - Establish the extent of acute systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction associated with the delivery of subgingival instrumentation for the treatment of chronic periodontitis - Establish whether or not improved control of chronic periodontal infections results in improved endothelial function and thus the existence of a causal association between periodontitis and endothelial dysfunction.
