Filter by:The buccal cavity is colonized by numerous microorganisms whose the number and composition could be modified with medical background (diseases and drugs) and the level of oral hygiene of the patients. Among all microorganisms identified in the periodontium, few of them are implicated in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal pathologies. To date, four major bacteria are identified for their ability to degrade periodontal tissues. Although the periodontitis is established to be the consequence of bacterial virulence and immune dysfunction, these factors fail to explain the refractory periodontitis of some patients to etiologic treatment . Others microorganisms such as protozoans could have an impact on this disease.
The present study is an effort to investigate the hypothesis that Platelet Rich Fibrin/Biphasic Calcium Phosphate may play a role in inhibiting osteoclasts differentiation and in bone loss.
This study evaluates the interaction between host immune cells and bacteria associated with periodontitis. It comprises biological material from donors with and without periodontal disease. Specifically, we collect a spit and blood sample to conduct in vitro stimulations and measurements of selected parameters related to periodontitis to clarify obscure areas in the immunologic pathogenesis of this disease.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the health of immediately placed dental implants in aggressive periodontitis patients versus those placed in periodontally healthy individuals in the maxillary esthetic zone.
Alendronate (ALN), commonly use bisphosphonates is proposed to have osteostimulative properties in vivo and in vitro, as shown by an increase in the matrix formation, and acts as a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. AV widely known for its wound healing, analgesic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, immune boosting and significant anti-inflammatory properties. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1% ALN and AV gel as a local drug delivery as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of degree II furcation defects
Metformin (MF), a biguanide group of anti-diabetic drug has been shown to enhance osteoblasts differentiation and inhibit osteoclast differentiation in vitro, thus may exhibit a favorable effect on alveolar bone. AloeVera Gel had also been used in dentistry and showed good results.The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1% MF gel and aloe vera gel as a local drug delivery system in adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of subjects with chronic periodontitis (CP) with intrabody defects.
Metformin (MF), a biguanide group of anti-diabetic drug has been shown to enhance osteoblasts differentiation and inhibit osteoclast differentiation in vitro, thus may exhibit a favourable effect on alveolar bone. Statins are one of the lipid lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) have shown to have bone stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.Statins are one of the lipid lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) and atorvastatin (ATV) have shown to have bone stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1.2% RSV and 1MF gel as a local drug delivery and redelivery system as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of intrabony defects.
Effect of Locally Delivered Antioxidants as An Adjunct to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy on GCF Level of Oxidative Stress Marker; Protein Carbonyl
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a newly formulated foaming gel product on gingivitis and/or moderate periodontitis when used with or without the GLO Science accelerating device (GLO Device), compared to standard tooth brushing with antioxidant whitening toothpaste with or without flossing (split mouth design for control group). This is a 60-day randomized single blinded parallel group study. After 42 days, all use of interventional products were discontinued, and the participants returned to the clinical center at day 60 for final measurements. The primary outcomes assessed in this study were the differences in gingival index (GI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) from baseline to 42 & 60 days. The secondary outcomes are tooth whitening, oral malodor, pocket depth and plaque amount. It is hypothesized that participants using the gingival health product with the GLO Device will experience greater reductions in GI & BOP measurements than the control group, as well as participants using the gingival health product on a toothbrush alone.
effect of occlusal reduction on post-operative pain is evaluated after single visit root canal treatment in upper and lower molar teeth in patients with sypmtomatic irreversible pulpitis and apical periondontis
