Filter by:Currently, the investigators are unaware of any previous studies that have analyzed the relationship between the prevalence of thyroid disease and chronic periodontitis among adults utilizing a retrospective, cross-sectional design. This study will review approximately 2000 patient records and compare the prevalence of thyroid disease in three groups with increasing severity of chronic periodontitis.
Background: Melatonin is an endogenous indoleamine synthesized mainly by pineal gland and showed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Moreover, melatonin promotes osteoblastic differentiation and suppresses osteoclastic formation. This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was aimed to assess the additive effect of melatonin supplementation in generalized chronic periodontitis (gCP) patients with insomnia who received scaling and root planing (SRP). Methods: Seventy four gCP patients with primary insomnia participated in this 6-month RCT and randomly distributed between two groups. Melatonin group (MTN+SRP group, n=38) included patients who were subjected to SRP with a 2- month regimen of 10 mg oral melatonin supplementation capsule once daily at bed-time. In the control group (Placebo+SRP group, n=36), SRP was performed for participants provided with matching placebo capsules. The primary treatment outcome included the clinical attachment gain (CAG) after 3 and 6 months of therapy, whereas, the changes in pocket depth ,bleeding on probing (BOP%) and salivary tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels represented the secondary outcomes.
this study evaluate the effect of LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) as an Adjunct Treatment in Management of Patients With Chronic Periodontitis and assay the effect of LANAP on periodontal indexes like BOP, CAL, probing depth
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis that switching from cigarette smoking to using IQOS improves the response to periodontal therapy and the overall oral health status compared to continuing cigarette smoking. Note: "IQOS" is the Tobacco Heating System (THS) with Marlboro Heatsticks, marketed in Japan under the brand name IQOS
Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 are acute phase proteins associated with many systemic diseases and conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical parameters and salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels before and after non-surgical periodontal treatments in the patients with periodontal diseases. A total of 54 subjects were divided in to three groups; periodontally healthy (n: 18), gingivitis (n: 18), chronic periodontitis (n: 18). Clinical periodontal parameters, salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels and salivary flow rates were evaluated at baseline and a month after the treatments. Salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels were assayed by ELISA.
It is submitted that incident and prevalent chronic periodontal infection, known as chronic periodontitis (CP) possibly has a causal relationship with diabetes mellitus (DM) having effects on HbA1c, fasting plasma/ blood glucose (FPG/ FBG) and fasting plasma insulin (FPI) levels. Experimental research has suggested that treating CP may improve glycemic control and insulin resistance in Non-Insulin Dependent Type-2 DM patients (T2DM). However, there is limited data concerning the need and effects of adjunct antibiotic therapy (AAT) along with scaling root planning (SRP) in treating CP for long lasting results. Therefore, it is suggested that further research with larger samples must be undertaken for a successful periodontal therapy that may help improve glycemic control at desired levels and longer durations. This study is designed to evaluate effects of periodontal therapy [SRP, metronidazole (MET) and oral hygiene instructions (OHI)] through three-arm trial experiment comprising of SRP+MET+OHI, SRP+OHI and OHI+ Delayed Therapy (DT) groups on HbA1c, FBG, FPI levels and Insulin Resistance calculated through Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) to fill research gap. This study will target large number of individuals (N > 1000) at trial camps known as diabetes-periodontitis (Diab-Per) camps at three different campuses of Dow University of Health Sciences hospitals to be screened for presence of signs and symptoms of chronic periodontitis and type-2 diabetes Mellitus. The selected candidates will be referred to the base camp for further evaluation to be enrolled in trial and recruit 150 participants randomly allocated in each group (50 in each group). Post-therapy follow-up results will be assessed at 1, 3 and 6 months to evaluate short and long term changes in status of CP, FBG, FPI and HbA1c.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of local non surgical periodontal therapy on the systemic pro-inflammatory markers in the β-thalassemia (TM-β) patients with chronic periodontitis and systemically healthy demographically matched controls with chronic periodontitis. Both groups will receive non surgical periodontal therapy.
This study evaluates the efficacy of scaling and root planing with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis (CP) among cigarette-smokers and never-smokers.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the additional effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy regeneration treatment of mandibular furcation lesions when associated to bovine bone and porcine collagen membrane.
Due to the phenomenon of bacterial resistance, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been studied as an alternative to the use of antibiotics on the periodontal treatment. However, the studies show several discrepancies between the parameters adopted for PDT, which makes it difficult to compare the results and measure their efficacy. The objective of this research was to investigate the tissue dosimetric parameters used in PDT for the treatment of periodontal disease. In order to achieve this objective, the scattering pattern of light in periodontal tissue, the concentration of methylene blue in the periodontal pockets and the number of viable microorganisms were evaluated. This clinical trial included 30 patients with chronic periodontitis according to the eligibility criteria. The patients were in periodontal treatment at the Dental Clinic at the University of Nove de Julho, where the research was carried out. Three incisors from each patient were selected for the experimental procedures. The pattern of light scattering was observed through intraoral photographs. A laser with emission of radiation with wavelength of 660 nm and 100 mW of power was used. The concentration of the photosensitizer (PS) in the periodontal pockets was evaluated by spectrometer before irradiation. Methylene blue was used as PS at the concentration of 100 μM in two different formulation and vehicles to evaluate the drug dimerization. Then, the procedures of irradiation of the PDT were carried out, with 3 irradiation times of 1, 3 and 5 min. The microbiological evaluation was performed from subgengival biofilms of the periodontal pockets of the experimental sites, before and immediately after the irradiation procedures.
