Filter by:Phase 1 Single Centre, open-labeled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Topical Nitric Oxide Releasing Mouthwash (NORM) for the Management of Oropharyngeal Candidiasis. Participants that meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled to receive open label NORM 3 doses/day for three weeks.
Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of topical application of miconazole and miconazole-loaded chitosan nanoparticles in treatment diabetic patients with oral candidiasis.
Fungi from the genus Candida present the saprophytic flora of the cavity. This saprophytic yeast can cause different form of oral infections at immunocompromised patients as well as at subjects with impaired local oral microbiota e.g. wearers of dentures. The most common cause of oral candidiasis is Candida albicans, but recently, non-albicans species has also been commonly isolated. One of the reasons for growing frequency of non-albicans species is traditional antifungal therapy. Standard antifungal therapy, which means elimination of yeasts, lead to antimicrobial resistance, dysbiosis and higher incidence of non-albicans species In order to overcome these limitations, the new antimicrobial therapy is based on anti-virulence strategy. This approach relays on disarming the microorganism, instead of killing or stopping their growth, which is especially important for saprophytes. In case of Candida albicans the main goal is preventing transition from cell to hyphal form.
The overall objective of this study is to investigate the association of early Candida infection (known as oral thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis, OPC) in children during the first year of life with the onset and severity of severe early childhood caries (S-ECC).
Forty-eight denture wearers with detectable levels of candida colonization without clinical symptoms will be randomly allocated into two groups: probiotics and placebo. All patients will take a daily dose of chewable tablets (probiotics or placebo according to the assigned group) for 8 weeks. Samples of mouth rinse will be collected from patients at baseline, 4 weeks from the beginning of the intervention, 8 weeks (the end of intervention), and after another 4 weeks for post-intervention follow up. Samples will be tested for both candida count and candida species identification
Introduction: Oral candidiasis is an infectious disease caused by the growth of Candida colonies and their penetration into oral tissues when physical barriers and host defenses are weakened. It constitutes one of the most common pathologies within the field covered by Dentistry. Candida infections are found in at least 80% of AIDS patients and in a third of HIV infection cases. Systemic diseases such as diabetes and a wide pharmacological arsenal to which the general population is subjected, are other causes of the increase in the prevalence of this disease. In addition, the high prevalence of oral sequelae (hyposialia) in the population over 65 years of age, due to the specific characteristics of this age group, such as multiple pathologies and drug use, explains the presence of this disease in this segment. of the population One of the great difficulties for the study of this disease is the diversity of predisposing factors, which do nothing but throw greater confusion into the results of the different works. Objective: To evaluate the reduction/suppression of signs and symptoms of oral candidiasis in patients treated with head and neck RT, users of Vacucis or Placebo. Material and method: Patients will receive information regarding the trial and, if they meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in it, they will sign the informed consent. All patients will be informed following the usual care practice of the characteristics of their candidiasis infection as well as the possibilities and alternatives of treatment and their respective efficacy. A descriptive analysis of the sample in terms of prevalence will be carried out. Categorical variables will be described as frequency and percentage and continuous variables as mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range depending on their adjustment to normality, which will be calculated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. To study the effect of the vaccine on the evolution of candidiasis, the Chi-square test, Student's t test or the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test will be used. The association of prevalence with CFU in both groups will be analyzed using the ANOVA test. Those values of p < 0.05 will be considered significant.
Oral hygiene is one of the most accessible and well-known strategies for the prevention of dental caries. The benefits of this practice after tooth eruption are well established in the literature. Oral hygiene in newborns prior to tooth eruption is controversial, since there is a disagreement between the Dental and Pediatric Associations as to the optimal time to initiate oral hygiene in children and scientific studies in this regard have not yet been performed. Some of these associations recommend starting this practice from the eruption of the child's first tooth. Others recommend beginning the cleansing of the child's oral cavity from birth by cleaning the baby's gingival rollers and tongue. The aim of the present investigation will be to evaluate, through a randomized clinical trial, the influence of oral hygiene in newborns on Candida spp colonization. and on the child's behavior during oral hygiene after tooth eruption. Will be included in the study, pairs of mothers and babies born in the maternity of the Hospital Nossa Senhora da Saúde, in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This will be a rehearsal Randomized clinical trial in which newborns will be allocated into 2 groups, namely: - Newborns whose parents will receive guidelines for oral hygiene before tooth eruption (Group 1); - Newborns whose parents will receive instructions not to perform oral hygiene before tooth eruption (Group 2). The initial data collection will be performed one month after the child's birth and will include oral clinical examinations, saliva collection and questionnaires on the socio-environmental, economic and behavioral aspects of the child and his family. Initial oral clinical examinations will be performed to assess the presence of Candidiasis, and saliva collection will be performed to identify and quantification of Candida spp. These evaluations will be performed again every three months. From the eruption of the first deciduous tooth, the follow-up included an assessment of the baby's behavior during oral hygiene performed by the responsible. This evaluation will be made by the examiner using the Frankl scale and HBCD scale criteria. Statistical analysis will be performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, version 23.0 and will include descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyzes.
Individuals may experience tooth loss as a result of trauma, periodontal destruction, lack of adequate bone support and clinically dental mobility. The increase in these tooth loss results in a condition called complete toothlessness in patients, and as a result of this, dentists treat complete dentures. It is known that the microorganism retention in the existing restorations is faster and higher than the natural tissues, and this leads to faster plaque build-up and hence bad odor. Candida species are common in oral flora, because they are numerous in the mouth and they are opportunistic pathogenic fungi that can make superficial and deep infections. The most important pathogen species among these parasites is Candida albicans. Mouth moniliasis or acute pseudomembrane candidiasis in the oral cavity of the so-called canker is caused by C.albicans. Chronic hyperplastic candidiasis is a clinical entity that is clinically inseparable from leukoplakia and completely separate from thrush. The accumulation of microorganisms in prosthetic materials is very important for the protection of the health of oral tissues and it is desirable to use appropriate cleaning and disinfection materials to minimize this accumulation. It is known in the literature that ozone and microwave technologies are used as disinfection technique. In this study, the application of ozone and microwave technologies in addition to the cleaning agents used as standard treatment will be compared in vivo. No such research has been found.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different cleaning and disinfection procedures on the involvement of Candida species in complete denture patients.
Little is known regarding the effectiveness of neonatal oral hygiene and its relationship to colonization by Candida spp. in edentulous oral cavities. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate whether the oral hygiene of edentulous infants favors colonization by Candida spp. Newborns with up to 48 hours of life will randomly allocated to two groups. The mothers will instructed to clean the oral cavity with gauze and mineral water three times a day, in the test group, and not to clean, in the control group.
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune chronic disease. It has two forms Primary Sjogren's syndrome charactrized by dry eyes and dry mouth. Secondary Sjogren's syndrome characterized by rheumatoid diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and lupus erythematosus. SS patients are most liable to oral candidiasis , so they need prophylaxis aganist oral candidiasis. Probiotic bacteria are live microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts confer benefits to health.Probiotics are commonly used as a prophylaxis aganist oral candidosis.
