Filter by:The general aim of this project is to investigate the long-term treatment outcome after implant therapy. The patients' satisfaction with implant treatment will be studied and correlated to biological and technical problems. The survival rates of implants at patient level and the degree of bone loss of remaining teeth and implants will be calculated. The levels of cytokines and bone loss markers in peri-implantitis sites and periodontal defects and at healthy sites will be analyzed in order to study the correlation between cytokine and bone loss marker levels, and clinical conditions. Independent variables which could be regarded as significant risk factors or risk predictors on the incidence of peri-implantitis are aimed to be identified
Diabetes and Periodontitis are both prevalent diseases affecting millions of Americans. Periodontitis is prevalent among Diabetics. Furthermore, Periodontitis and associated inflammation can increase insulin resistance in Diabetics and worsens the condition. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has the potential to improve periodontal treatment outcome in poorly controlled diabetics. The study will compare periodontal treatment (SRP) outcome between 2 main diabetic type 2 patient groups receiving medical care treatment: either Conventional Wound Therapies (CWC) with or without adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at LLU Health. 24 poorly controlled diabetic mellitus (DM) type 2 subjects (HbA1c =>7%) with Periodontitis will be assigned into the study arms HBO therapy and Non HBO therapy, based on their medical needs. For all subjects demographic data (age, gender, ethnicity, smoking history, alcohol use history, BMI, current medication list) and oral health habits will be obtained. Blood samples for HbA1c determinations, clinical periodontal measurements (plaque index, probing measurements including pocket depth, attachment levels, gingival index and bleeding-on-probing) and subgingival microbial samples will be obtained at baseline and end of the study. Subgingival microbial samples will be collected from three randomly selected sites and analyzed for detection of about 300 of the most prevalent oral bacterial species. Differences in periodontal clinical outcomes and bacterial profiles will be identified utilizing ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance).
27 subjects on SPT, each with at least two residual pockets ≥5mm, were recruited for this randomised, split-mouth controlled trial, providing a total of 72 sites. At baseline, probing pocket depth (PPD), recession, clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque and bleeding on probing (BOP) of all sites were examined. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were collected to determine level of cytokines IL-1β, -6, -8, TNF-α and MMP-8 via ELISA. Control sites received subgingival instrumentation and rubber cup polishing with pumice. In addition test sites received a single application of PDT using Fotosan® and photosensitizer consisting of toludine blue O solution. The subjects were recalled three and six months later and re-examined. Site level analysis was performed.
Recent data found that peri-implantitis may differ from periodontitis at the histological level in terms of extent and composition of the cellular components. From human biopsies, it has been shown a deeper apical extension of the inflammatory cell infiltrate and a larger proportion of granulocytes and macrophages in peri-implantitis lesions compared to periodontitis lesions. Following experimental peri-implantitis, it has been observed a continuing bone loss around dental implants after ligature removal; whereas, such a progression was not observed around teeth after cessation of the experimental periodontitis. The factors influencing the recruitment and the activation of osteoclasts in both diseases have not been compared yet. Hypothesis : The more rapid and more severe alveolar bone destruction occurring in peri-implantitis compared to periodontitis is due at least in part to differences in the inflammatory process in these diseases. Aim: to study the cytokine profile produced by gingival explants from periodontitis or peri-implantitis sites and to test the consequences on alteration of bone remodelling activity using in vitro approach. Materials and methods The investigators will establish a collection of human gingival samples from patients undergoing surgical treatment of periodontitis or peri-implantitis. The investigators will test pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines release and consequences on osteoclast differentiation and activity.
The objective in this case-control intervention study, therefore, was to explore the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on the GCF levels of chemerin and IL-6 in patients with chronic periodontitis in order to determine the usefulness of chemerin as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of periodontal disease.
In light of the controversy that are already approved but that however still exists regarding the efficacy and influence of the decontaminant tools for the management of Chronic Periodontitis (cp), the aim of this study was to evaluates, at 1 year follow-up, the post-treatment clinical parameters and immunological and gingival microbial profiles in patients with CP, treated by either SRP in addition to desiccant or SRP alone. The null hypothesis to invalidate was that, after a one year follow-up, there were no variations, in relation to clinical, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory parameters between SRP + desiccant and SRP alone treatment.
The main objective is to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on serum levels of HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study is a 6-month, single-masked, randomized clinical trial.A total of 90 patients with diabetes and chronic generalized periodontal disease will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Treatment Group, Control Group.
Saccharomyces boulardii is commonly employed as a live non-pathogenic probiotic microbial feed or food supplement. S. boulardii reduces the secretion of key pro inflammatory cytokines and promotes the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10, which is pertinent in the context of pathogenic mechanisms in periodontitis.
The present study is designed to evaluate the combined efficacy of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and 1.2% Rosuvastatin (RSV) with open flap debridement (OFD) in treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients
The purpose of this study is to determine whether periodontal treatment improves the periodontal clinical parameters in the periodontal patients with diabetes regarding non-diabetics: two years follow-up.
