This study aims to evaluate bone formation in grafts in terms of its quality (density), quantity (volume) and maturation obtained with the application of a tissue-engineered bone grafting compound containing concentrated autogenous cell-culture medium (CM) and a synthetic bone substitute. The present study was designed as an experimental prospective split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial. After protocol approval by the Research Ethics Committee, a total of 20 consecutive participants in need of maxillary reconstruction aiming implant-supported oral rehabilitation will be invited to join the study. To collect autogenous adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs), an outpatient lipoplasty procedure at the abdominal area of each patient will be performed. To isolate and expand hASCs from the lipoaspirate, specific cell culture protocols will be followed, resulting in cultured viable cells and their conditioned medium (CM). Cells and CM will be then separated by a sequence of filters and centrifugation, and isolated CM will be frozen. ELISA will analyze the presence of chemokines and their concentration in CM before grafting. Following pre-op surgical planning, both maxillary sinuses of each patient will be grafted internally applying a lateral window to each sinus. The bony floor of the test maxillary sinus will be augmented with synthetic bone substitute (BoneCeramic™ 1-2 mm) mixed with 10 to 15 ml of CM (test). The control site will receive bone substitute with saline. Lateral windows in both sinuses will be then closed with a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide™). After 6 months, first-stage implant surgery will be performed placing 6 implants in each patient. Registration of implant stability by manual torque wrench will be performed. Also, bone biopsies from each drilled implant site will be collected for histology, histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry (RT-PCR). Tomographic evaluation of the bone formation will include cone beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) at pre-operative [Baseline], 90 [T1] and 180 [T2 = implant placement] days for bone 3D image analysis.
A study was performed to investigate the effect of curcumin on the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and its underlying potential mechanism. The Results was that Curcumin at an appropriate concentration had no cytotoxicity and could promote osteogenic differentiation of the hPDLSCs
AIM AND OBJECTIVES: AIM To determine the association between periodontal bone loss and maxillary sinus changes through cone beam computed tomography. OBJECTIVES Primary objectives- 1. To compare the presence of maxillary sinus changes in patients with radiographic evidence of periodontal bone loss with healthy controls. Secondary objectives- 1. To determine the correlation between severity of periodontal bone loss with the changes in maxillary sinus. 2. To compare the mean maxillary sinus mucosal thickening in patients with radiographic evidence of periodontal disease with healthy controls. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study will be conducted in the department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Rohtak. STUDY SETTING Hospital based study - CBCT volumes which are available in the archives of Oral Medicine and Radiology department will be evaluated. STUDY PERIOD This study will be completed in 6 months. STUDY SUBJECTS CBCT volumes of patients who have undergone CBCT examination between May 2019 and December 2020 for various dental purposes will be evaluated and the volumes fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. The subjects will be divided into 2 groups- Periodontal disease group and Healthy group, INCLUSION CRITERIA 1. Good quality images with visualization of maxillary sinus and maxillary posterior teeth of at least one side. EXCLUSION CRITERIA 1. Signs of endodontic pathology like periapical radiolucency, root canal fillings etc. 2. Presence of metal artifacts interfering with the view of the maxilla. 3. Presence of trauma or pathologies such as tumours, cysts or malignancies that obscure the view of the region of interest. SAMPLE SIZE A minimum sample size of 71 maxillary scans in each group has been calculated to expect a difference of 26.84% in the prevalence of the 2 groups as ascertained from a pilot study, at a significance level of 0.05 and a power of 90%. Since group one will further be divided into 3 classes, a sample size of 225 in each group shall be taken. METHODOLOGY - CBCT volumes of patients who have undergone CBCT for various dental purposes between May 2019 to December 2020 available in the archives of Department of Oral medicine and radiology will be evaluated. - These scans will be screened for radiographic evidence of periodontal disease i.e. horizontal or vertical bone loss and bone loss at the furcation. - Further, the periodontal bone loss scans i.e. 225 will be divided into 3 groups of 75 each: mild (<25%), moderate (25-50%) and severe (>50%) according to the amount of bone loss. - The group with no bone loss will be taken as the control group i.e. 225. - Maxillary sinuses will be evaluated according to the following criteria; score range from 0 to 6 ; 0 - no mucosal changes.,1 - area without cortical bone and with soft tissue density, thickness >3 mm, parallel to sinus bone wall,2- sinus polyp, 3-antral pseudo cyst, 4- non-specific opacification,5- periostitis,6- antrolith. DATA MANAGEMENT AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Data will be tabulated in Microsoft Excel sheet. The results will be expressed as the frequency (%) of maxillary and Mean + Standard deviation (SD) for maxillary sinus mucosal thickening. Normality of data will be assessed and Chi-square or student T test shall be used for non-parametric and parametric data respectively. All analysis will be performed by SPSS software version 21. A p value less than 0.05 will be considered significant for all outcomes.
The reduction in alveolar bone dimensions is an inevitable outcome after tooth extraction due to the healing events that results in bone modeling/remodeling. Alveolar ridge preservation is a successful approach that aids in reducing these changes greatly. Various techniques have been employed to achieve that outcome utilizing bone grafts and/or membrane. Dentin graft is a promising type that can overcome many of the limitations facing mainstream grafts. Autogenous source serve the advantage of providing graft with no cross-infection risk or immunogenicity. Moreover, the unique structure of dentin makes it suitable for osteoinduction and osteoconduction that yields favorite bone regeneration outcomes. Demineralization of dentin is essential to release trapped growth factors, expose collagen fibrils and enhance the grafts degradability and replacement by native tissues. Many acids have been investigated for the use in chairside preparation of the dentin graft and hence, clinicians are faced with different choices but little evidence regarding the acid which yield s better outcomes.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness in periodontal regeneration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid at 1.8% (Hyadent BG®) with enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain®) in periodontal bone defects evaluating their clinical and radiographic variables.
A coronectomy is often chosen over complete extraction of a lower third molar when the tooth appears to be in close proximity to the inferior dental (ID) canal, as assessed on a plain radiograph or a cone beam computer tomograph (CBCT). Following a coronectomy, the roots of the third molar may migrate in a coronal direction. This effect, along with the bone-preserving technique of a coronectomy over extraction, may provide increased bone height distal to the lower second molars, when compared to extraction. Partially erupted lower third molars, specifically those with mesio-angular impactions, are commonly associated with reduced bone height distal to lower second molars, and cause damage to the periodontal support of these neighboring teeth. It is assumed that maintenance of the impacted third molars or extraction of these teeth may compromise the periodontal status of the lower second molars. This study will investigate if coronectomy improves the bone levels, and therefore the periodontal status, of lower second molars, and may propose an indication for a coronectomy regardless of the proximity of the tooth to the ID canal. Coronectomies were first proposed as a treatment option just over thirty years ago, but there are very few long-term studies on the procedure reported in the literature. To the best of the investigator's knowledge, this will be the first randomised controlled trial comparing the bone height distal to the lower second molar following a coronectomy or extraction of the lower third molar.
in patients with vertical or horizontal defective of there ridge it is difficult to have prosthetic restoration with natural appearance emetating and simulating the adjacent abutment emergence profile so this study aims to develop the defective area using two different materials of soft tissue grafting techniques to restore the missing tissue and regain soft tissue volume and profile
This study is meant to assess clinically the possible predictable clinical attachment gain regarding the use of vitamin C with platelet rich fibrin versus platelet rich fibrin alone in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects
