Filter by:The importance of micronutrients has been extensively reviewed and it was concluded that for prevention and treatment of periodontitis daily nutrition should include sufficient antioxidants, vitamin D and calcium. Up to now there is limited research available investigating the effect of vitamin C supplementation on the periodontal condition. Supplementation of vitamins and micronutrients has however raised numerous questions on clinical efficacy. Recently, a significant increase of medical literature on the effect of nutraceutical dietary aliments on general health has been noted. the aim of the present study is twofold. The first objective is to investigate the effect of twice-daily kiwifruit consumption as sole treatment modality in untreated periodontitis, followed after two months by initial periodontal therapy supported by continued kiwifruit consumption. The second objective is to investigate the effect of twice daily kiwifruit consumption on periodontal and systemic parameters of these periodontitis patients 3 months after treatment.
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease caused by mainly bacterial, genetic, immunologically, and environmental factors. Chronic periodontitis, one of the widely prevalent forms of periodontal disease, is characterized by loss of attachment apparatus of the tooth; it can lead to tooth loss. Many non surgical and surgical approaches have been adapted time and again to prevent, intercept, and to treat the various forms of chronic periodontitis. But, these treatment modalities are not approachable by all individuals, because of the various factors such as: low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, high cost of the treatment, no availability of easy and uncomplicated treatment nearby etc. Considering these factors, we are still in need of preventive, practical, and affordable treatment options specially for the population of underdeveloped and developing countries.
Periodontitis is a chronic oral infection that results in the breakdown of connective tissue and alveolar bone that support the teeth. Non-surgical sanative therapy using a combination treatment of hand and ultrasonic instrumentation is the primary treatment option for patients with periodontitis. However, the hand-held instrumentation requires continuous sharpening for optimal outcomes, which introduces tremendous variability as well as a large increase in time spent by the treating dental hygienists. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if ultrasonic instrumentation alone can provide similar improvements to periodontal outcomes compared to ultrasonic plus hand instrumentation.
The investigators wish to assess whether intensive periodontal therapy will reduce the burden of chronic periodontal disease and will cause regression or prevent progression of atherosclerosis assessed by a surrogate end-point (carotid intima-media thickness) at 24 months compared to control periodontal therapy.
Title: Investigation of neutrophil defects associated with periodontal disease and tooth loss in children. A clinical study. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is: - To investigate presence of periodontal disease and response to periodontal treatment in children affected by neutrophil defects The secondary objectives of this study are: - To investigate presence of other dental diseases in children affected by neutrophil defects - To assess oral microbiological and inflammatory parameters in children affected by neutrophil defects Primary outcomes: The primary outcomes are (a) presence of periodontal disease as assessed by clinical factors: probing pocket depth, attachment level, bleeding on probing and radiographic bone loss) (b) microbiological and host response factors: detected in periodontal pockets and gingival crevicular fluid and (c) response to treatment Study sample: Children affected by neutrophil defects and meeting outlined inclusion and exclusion criteria Number of participants: 50 children Study design: This is a longitudinal treatment study. All participants will attend for 4-7 visits during the study as outlined below: - Screening visit (visit 1): consent procedure, dental examination, saliva and plaque sampling - Baseline visit (visit 2):, detailed periodontal examination, dental radiographs, sampling of gingival crevicular fluid and, if appropriate scaling, polishing and oral hygiene instructions - Non-surgical periodontal treatment (visit 3A to 3D, max 4 sessions): oral hygiene instructions and supra- and sub-gingival debridement (under local anaesthesia if necessary) - Follow-up Visit (visit 4, 4th to 7th visit) (six months following treatment): detailed dental examination, oral hygiene instructions, sampling of saliva, subgingival plaque and gingival crevicular fluid, tooth scaling and polishing.
Dentinal hypersensitivity [DH] is a common condition in daily practice, especially in patients who have abrasion, attrition, gingival recession and erosion of teeth. It can affect individuals in the age range of 20-50 years.In a recent systematic review, it was reported that no gold standard treatment modality for dentin hypersensitivity has been established Thus there is a need to evaluate new formulations in different settings and in different populations and to compare those to commonly used agents seeking better results in pain relief for our patients. Studies showed that dentifrice formulations containing 8% arginine in combination with calcium carbonate and fluoride have the ability to plug dentinal tubules, by clumping of both arginine and calcium carbonate that bind with the negatively charged dentin . Aim of the study is to clinically evaluate toothpaste containing 8% arginine, calcium carbonate, and sodium mono-fluorophosphate, in comparison to toothpaste, containing 8% strontium acetate and NaF on the relief of DH in chronic periodontitis patients.
The object of the study was to evaluate the direct effect of high dose vitamin D supplementation on chronic periodontitis, and suggest the recommended dose for clinic use.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of subgingival delivery of Rosuvastatin gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in Smokers With Chronic Periodontitis (CP) patients.
To compare the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy with or without systemic administration of amoxicillin and metronidazole on the concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis.
To assess the association between periodontal parameters, serum lipid profile and Lp-PLA2 level in systemically healthy Chronic Periodontitis subjects and healthy controls.
