Filter by:To assess the periodontal clinical response and the possible adverse effects of the clarithromycin combined to periodontal mechanical therapy in the treatment of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis.
The aim of this study is to estimate genetic impact of MCP-1 -2518 and its receptor CCR2 -190 polymorphisms on AgP patients among Turkish individuals and whether MCP-1 genotype effects mRNA levels of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Leukocyte (PBML)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether full-mouth disinfection is effective in the initial periodontal treatment of generalized aggressive periodontitis on clinical parameters, gingival crevicular fluid interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) and periodontal pathogen levels compared with conventional initial periodontal treatment and full-mouth initial periodontal treatment. The investigators' hypothesis is to test whether full-mouth disinfection in the initial periodontal treatment of generalized aggressive periodontitis enhance the clinical, biochemical and microbiological parameters in comparison to conventional initial periodontal treatment and full-mouth initial periodontal treatment.
combining the non-surgical therapy with a well-tolerated substance that can stimulate protective immune responses like B-glucan, might effectively mount resolution pathways contributing to resolving of the chronic lesion observed in aggressive forms of periodontal disease.
In this study, the investigators evaluated molecular biomarkers which play a role in the development of generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) using gingival tissue samples through omics-based whole-genome transcriptomic while using healthy individuals as background controls.
The study was to intended to visualize the nuclear localization of vitamin D receptor in oral tissues of aggressive periodontitis patients to better understand the potential for receptor in disease activity or progression.
The objective of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate the effect of systemic administration of moxifloxacin compared to amoxicillin plus metronidazole combined with non-surgical treatment in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) in 6-month follow-up. A total of 40 systemically healthy patients with GAgP will evaluate in this randomized clinical trial. Periodontal parameters (plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level) will be recorded at baseline, 1st, 3rd and 6th month. Patients will receive either 400 mg moxifloxacin per os once daily or 500 mg metronidazole and 500 mg amoxicillin per os three times daily for 7 days consecutively.
In the present clinical study including chronic, aggressive periodontitis and healthy individuals, the investigators aimed to determine the RANKL, osteoprotegrin (OPG), Interleukin-1 (IL-1β), IL-10, IL-1β levels in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) before and after surgical periodontal treatment and search out the relationship of clinical parameters with these cytokine levels.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease whose etio-pathogencity is not fully understood yet. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are involved in physiological and pathological processes. Nitro-oxidative stress has been implicated in Periodontitis. The aim of this study is to assess the levels of ROS and RNS in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples taken from periodontitis (chronic and aggressive) patients and healthy controls. Subsequently, correlating these levels with the severity of periodontal disease. Eighty subjects will be invited to participate in this study. Patients will be allocated into four groups (20 patients each). The biochemical parameters that will be investigated are Malondialdehyde (MDA) (using TBRSA assay) as a marker of oxidative stress and (NO- level using Griess reagent) as a marker of nitrosative stress.
The adjunctive use of systemically administered antibiotics has been shown to provide a better clinical outcome, particularly in terms of probing depth (PD) reduction and attachment-level gain than SRP in subjects with Aggressive Periodontitis. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of moxifloxacin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing versus scaling and root planing over placebo in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis.
