Filter by:Gold is widely used in prosthetics. Its use ranges from being employed in the fabrication of removable dentures, where the inner surface permanently touching oral cavity tissues, through to fixed dentures, and even some structures of certain implantological systems. All such items can be made of galvanized gold. Thus, new technologies have made gold and its alloys a kind of a universal material.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of Herbal gargle on chemoradiotherapy-induced stomatitis in head & neck cancer patients.
After signing the informed consent, the participant will be allocated to either intervention or control group, then each participant will use either 0.15% benzydamine (Comparator) or 4% tulsi (Intervention) four times a day and also once half an hour before each radiotherapy session.
The prevention of oral illnesses in children and adolescents undergoing oncological treatment is critical, because oral lesions caused by this therapy significantly exacerbate the clinical condition and increase the risk of infection, as well as making it harder to perform required dental procedures when needed . "The key to success in maintaining a healthy oral cavity during therapy is patient compliance. The child and the parents should be educated regarding the possible acute side effects." Pediatric cancer patients may have a lower quality of life if they have poor dental health. Preventing and treating pre-existing oral illnesses is critical to reduce problems in these people. It is critical to raise awareness of the benefits of proper oral health so that this understanding becomes a positive attitude, reducing the discomfort of these children. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends pediatric oncology/hematology that Pediatric dentists must be involved in the treatment process from the moment cancer is diagnosed. This should be carried out by having a preventive and dental care plan developed based on the patient's needs before any cancer treatment is initiated. The aim of the study is primarily to report oral complications and manifestations during chemotherapy treatment in pediatric cancer patients and raise the awareness of their parents on these manifestations thus proper interventions can be carried out to prevent more serious problems.
Oral mucositis (OM) is a significant side effect of cytotoxic anti-cancer chemotherapy and HN radiotherapy. CT-associated OM (CT-OM). It is the ulcerative phase that is most painful and associated with poor health outcomes. The sequelae of CT-OM, which include pain, odyno/dys-phagia, dysgeusia, decreased oral intake and systemic infection, frequently require treatment delays, interruptions, and discontinuations that not only negatively impact the quality of life but also tumor control and survivorship. To date, OM management is aimed to control symptoms through topical or systemic analgesics and topical application of barrier agents to cover injured mucosa as a salve or ointment. According to the recent MASCC/ISOO Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Mucositis Secondary to Cancer Therapy, no guideline was possible regarding the use of saline or sodium bicarbonate rinses in the prevention or treatment of OM-CT in patients undergoing cancer therapy because of limited data. Ozone at low medical concentration, not included in MASCC guidelines, will be generally proven to induce a mild activation of protective anti-oxidant pathways, thus exerting therapeutic effects in many inflammatory diseases. Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of a new protocol OZOCLO (alpha-lipoic acid, ozonated oil, and chlorhexidine [CHX] mouthwash) compared to sodium bicarbonate solution (Oral Basic Care- OBC) or chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash alone or to a binomial administration (AAL-OZ) of systemic alpha-lipoic acid and topical ozonated oil to reduce the incidence of OM (primary aim) and/or to postpone the beginning of oral mucositis (OM) and to reduce OM severity (secondary aims).
Study on the application of thalidomide with or without probiotics in radioactive oral mucositis
This protocol describes a randomized, double-arm, parallel-group, open-label controlled study that aims to evaluate the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine on head and neck cancer patients with oral mucositis toxicities and quality of life during radiotherapy.
A prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blinded study will be conducted at Clinical Oncology department, Ain Shams University Hospitals, assessing the effect of Alpha Lipoic Acid on the incidence and severity of radiotherapy induced oral mucositis in Head and Neck cancer patients.
The aim of this study is to use a tea-based mouthwash to relieve pain and discomfort in patients with stomatitis and ulcers.
Cancer treatment, including radiation along with aggressive chemotherapy, increases the patient's survival rate. However, they possess toxic side effects. Oral mucositis is one of the most serious complications of cancer treatment, which occurs in most of patients receiving cancer therapy. Mucositis can dramatically affect the patient's quality of life .Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a dominant factor in early keratinocyte differentiation, proliferation and migration. However, a major obstacle in most studies is that there isn't prolonged contact between the applied treatment and the oral mucosa to achieve the optimum therapeutic effect. Thus, a new vehicle for EGF is needed to achieve sufficient prolonged contact with oral mucosa. The present project aims at employing EGF as therapeutic agent for mucositis dealing with the challenges of delivery of such macromolecule to the oral mucosa by using self-healing gels to maximize the drug effect.
