Filter by:the aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of guided biofilm therapy (GBT) for treatment of deep periodontal pockets. the objectives are 1- To compare the change in the clinical periodontal parameters and microbiological parameters by using real time PCR for P. gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Filifactor alocis among sites treated by GBT and conventional hand instrumentation after a period of 3 months and to assess the level of the selected periodontal pathogens in deep periodontal pockets and to estimate and compare deep periodontal pockets which need surgery after 3 months of non-surgical treatment by GBT and conventional hand instrumentation. the hypothesis is whether there are no differences in in the clinical and microbiological parameters among sites treated by GBT and conventional hand instrumentation after a period of 3 months or there are differences in in the clinical and microbiological parameters among sites treated by GBT and conventional hand instrumentation after a period of 3 months. The participants will be selected on a consecutive basis from patients referred to the Department of Periodontics, College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad. For each patient, each site will be randomly assigned to either treatment protocol: 1. Sites treated with GBT. 2. Sites treated with conventional manual instrumentation only.
This study aimed to compare the effects of using an interdental brush dipped in 0.2% HA gel with those of using a regular interdental brush on clinical periodontal parameters following SRP among patients with periodontitis.
We evaluated vitamin D and IL8 levels in the serum of patients with periodontitis as well as the healthy controls to correlate their levels with the degree of periodontitis.
Periodontitis is highly prevalent and rarely detected and treated in the earlier stages of the disease. Orthopantomography (OPG) is the most frequently taken dental radiograph around the world, and its systematic screening may contribute to early detection of periodontitis and access to the needed level of care. The investigators' recent study initially developed an AI-clinical knowledge-based system for automatic periodontitis diagnosis and indicated good performance for differentiating stage II-IV periodontitis. This cross-sectional diagnostic study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of this AI-clinical knowledge-based hybrid system (Index test) with human experts (reference test) for differentiating stage II-IV periodontitis using the OPG images obtained from different 4 centers around the world.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Investigate the clinical and microbiological efficacies of Laser disinfection and ICG-mediated aPDT as adjunct to RSD for patients with periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of laser disinfection or ICG-mediated aPDT as adjunct to RSD are effective in improving clinical parameters and reducing the load of periodontal pathogens. Participants will undergo full-mouth supragingival debridement by using ultrasonic device at baseline. All patients will be instructed to brush their teeth twice daily and will be supplied with the same type of tooth paste and toothbrush, with suitable interdental aids. All the patients will be instructed to attend again after 7 days. One week later, sites randomly allocated to control (Ctrl) group and test groups which will receive, in addition to RSD, either aPDT or periodontal pocket disinfection (Biolase). For all groups, sites with initial PPD 4-6 mm will be treated with RSD using area specific (Graecy) curettes.
Objective(s) The primary objective is to evaluate the adherence of diabetic patients to periodontal care, accomplished either through oral communication (group A, control) or through a photograph of their smile, and focusing on their gum health evaluated by a periodontist (group B, test). Secondary objectives include assessing the prevalence of periodontal disease (PD) in this diabetic sample population and evaluating the presence of specific biomarkers related to it. The final objective is to assess the agreement between the diagnosis of periodontitis based on the photographs and the diagnosis given after the dental visit, based on the clinical examination. The aim is to determine if the photos could potentially serve as a reliable indicator for periodontal risk assessment.
Clinical Evaluation of Injectable Albumin Platelet Rich Fibrin Versus Platelet Rich Fibrin in the Management of Intra-bony Defect in Stage-III Periodontitis Patients. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Injectable Albumin Platelet Rich Fibrin Versus Platelet Rich Fibrin in the Management of Intra-bony Defect in Stage-III Periodontitis Patients. The main question aims to answer are: will Albumin Platelet Rich Fibrin (Alb-PRF) as adjunct to minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) be superior in terms of improvement in clinical parameters compared to the use of PRF with MIST.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the amounts of BPI (Bactericidal permeability protein) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in gingival fluid samples obtained from individuals with periodontally healthy and periodontal disease, to compare these amounts between study groups, and to evaluate their relationship with clinical parameters. In cases where clinical parameters increase, IL-1β amounts also increase significantly. The amount of IL-1β in individuals with periodontal disease is significantly higher compared to healthy individuals. There is positive correlation between BPI and clinical parameters. The amount of BPI in individuals with periodontal disease is significantly higher than in healthy individuals. More studies are needed to better understand the importance and therapeutic effect of BPI in periodontitis
This study aimed to evaluate clinically the intracanal microbes at molecular level after using established root canal medicament Calcium hydroxide and potential root canal medicament Glycyrrhizin.and Decontamination Analysis of Controls samples.
This study aimed to determine CCL19/MIP3beta(β) and CCL20/MIP3alpha(α) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of the patients with different periodontitis phenotypes. A total of 72 individuals, 24 with Stage III Grade B periodontitis (Group 1), 24 with Stage III Grade C periodontitis (Group 2), and 24 periodontally healthy (control group) (Group 3), were included in the study. GCF and clinical periodontal parameters were obtained at baseline. MIP3β and MIP3α levels in GCF were determined by ELISA.
