Filter by:CelAgace™ OraRinse (silver citrate complex and acemannan) Solution is planned to be evaluated for safety and effectiveness as a potential treatment for candidiasis, a yeast infection, commonly known as thrush, which is associated with mouth sores.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of propolis on the treatment of oral candidiasis, more specifically denture stomatitis. Half of participants will receive a standardized-propolis (EPP-AF®) gel formulation while the other half will receive miconazole gel, both for oral use.
Several dental professionals recommend that complete denture wearers should brush their palate. Some advantages include better cleansing and blood flow, which may help to prevent or treat oral infections, such as denture-related stomatitis. However, there is no previous clinical trial dealing on that subject. Therefore, our goal is to evaluate whether palatal brushing may change the severity of denture stomatitis or counts of microbes on dentures and mucosa. After an initial exam and data collection, participants will receive instructions for palatal hygiene and will be assessed following 1 and 3 months. Collected data include patient-reported information, intraoral photographs and swabbing (for counting microbes). Tested Hypotheses: - There is no difference in the extent of palatal inflammation in edentulous patients with denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing. - There is no difference in the number of colony forming unit (CFU) of Candida isolated from palate and denture of patients affected by denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing.
The objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy and safety of Roxane's clotrimazole troches vs. Mycelex troches in HIV positive patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis, where this condition has been diagnosed by clinical examination and confirmed by fungal culture.
This is an observational, non-randomised trial to evaluate the effect of dietary type on infants oral candida colonization the investigators evaluated 90 infants in 1-24 months (45 breastfeeding and 45 bottle feeding infants) who attended to Yazd clinic for regular pediatric appointment. Infants with unremarkable health histories, normal weight, free of sign or symptom of oral candidiasis or other mucosal disease. Their mothers were also healthy and without sign or symptom of vagina or mammary candidiasis. Pacifier usage, use of antibiotics in last months, sign or symptom of oral candidiasis in infants or vagina and mammary candidiasis in mothers were exclusion criteria.
This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of three experimental dentifrices to remove denture biofilm. Complete denture wearers will be instructed to brush their dentures with a specific toothbrush and four compositions: (1) A proprietary denture-specific paste (active comparator); (2) 0.2% chloramine T; (3) 1.0% chloramine T; (4) 0.01% fluorosurfactant. Each treatment will be used for periods of 7 days, and participants will be randomized to use them according to one of four sequences.
The purpose of this study is to assess if a propolis solution is able to remove plaque and kill microbes from complete dentures. The investigators will compare the results of the propolis-based denture cleanser with those obtained with an inactive solution.
Background: Oral candidiasis is most frequently found among the elderly .It is accompanied with oral pain, irritation, burning sensation. In addition, the altered taste sensation may cause nutrition compromise, which may affect ones diet. Management of superficial oral Candida is usually achieved by treatment with clotrimazole, a fungi static drug which is given five times per day with instruction to slowly suck on it with out the dentures. Working hypothesis and aims: Management of oral candidiasis is feasible. The major disadvantage of the mode of action now days is the substantively of the drug in the oral cavity and patient compliance. A sustained release varnish which is easily applied on the dentures, which also release the anti fungal drug for at least a day, may overcome some of the pit falls of the treatment applied today. Based on our past experience, in developing local sustained release varnishes for dental use, we anticipate that we can also formulate a special anti fungal sustained release varnish which will fit the special and unique needs of the elderly population. Methods: Sustained release varnish will be developed in our laboratory. The kinetics of release (using HPLC) and antifungal activity (Bioassays) will be examined in vitro. The formulation showing the optimal results will be tested on human subjects with oral candidiasis. The efficacy of the varnish will be examined clinically (reduction in symptoms), microbiology (reduction of oral fungal), pharmaceutically (release kinetics in vivo). Expected results: The clinical out come of one time varnish application will be improved compared to the five times application of lozenges (used today). The severity of the disease should decrease and the healing period should be shorten drastically. Importance: This is a novel pharmaceutical development of a local application of a dental varnish designed specially to the elderly population
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using acidophilus to treat oral candidiasis (thrush) caused by radiation therapy to the head and neck region. This study will conducted in two parts. In the first part of the study, two participants will begin radiation therapy. When signs and symptoms of thrush are noted, such as smooth, creamy, white/yellow coating and/or patches on the tongue and inside of your mouth that are painful, you will begin taking acidophilus capsules twice each day until the last day of radiation therapy. The second part of the study is to determine if acidophilus is effective in preventing oral candidiasis (thrush) during radiation therapy to the head and neck region. In the second part of the study three participants will take acidophilus capsules twice each day beginning on the first day of radiation therapy and continuing until the last day of radiation therapy.
C. dubliniensis has been identified as pathogen in Oropharyngeal Candidiasis(OPC)particularly among HIV patients. Azole therapy is a cornerstone in OPC, but resistance within C. dubliniensis isolates to diflucan is common.This is a prospective collection of biological specimens from oropharyngeal cavity with the purpose of determining the prevalence of C. dubliniensis in HIV/AIDS patients at the Duval County Department of Health Comprehensive care Center. It is hereto proposed an estimation of azole-resistance in these isolates.
