Filter by:The present study is an effort to investigate the hypothesis that Platelet Rich Fibrin/Biphasic Calcium Phosphate may play a role in inhibiting osteoclasts differentiation and in bone loss.
This study evaluates the interaction between host immune cells and bacteria associated with periodontitis. It comprises biological material from donors with and without periodontal disease. Specifically, we collect a spit and blood sample to conduct in vitro stimulations and measurements of selected parameters related to periodontitis to clarify obscure areas in the immunologic pathogenesis of this disease.
Alendronate (ALN), commonly use bisphosphonates is proposed to have osteostimulative properties in vivo and in vitro, as shown by an increase in the matrix formation, and acts as a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. AV widely known for its wound healing, analgesic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, immune boosting and significant anti-inflammatory properties. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1% ALN and AV gel as a local drug delivery as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of degree II furcation defects
Metformin (MF), a biguanide group of anti-diabetic drug has been shown to enhance osteoblasts differentiation and inhibit osteoclast differentiation in vitro, thus may exhibit a favorable effect on alveolar bone. AloeVera Gel had also been used in dentistry and showed good results.The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1% MF gel and aloe vera gel as a local drug delivery system in adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of subjects with chronic periodontitis (CP) with intrabody defects.
Metformin (MF), a biguanide group of anti-diabetic drug has been shown to enhance osteoblasts differentiation and inhibit osteoclast differentiation in vitro, thus may exhibit a favourable effect on alveolar bone. Statins are one of the lipid lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) have shown to have bone stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.Statins are one of the lipid lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) and atorvastatin (ATV) have shown to have bone stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1.2% RSV and 1MF gel as a local drug delivery and redelivery system as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of intrabony defects.
Effect of Locally Delivered Antioxidants as An Adjunct to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy on GCF Level of Oxidative Stress Marker; Protein Carbonyl
The buccal cavity presents microorganismes whose the number and composition vary with oral hygiene and medical context (pathologies and associated drug therapies) of the patient. More than 1200 bacterial species have been identified, and among them, 400 are inhabitants of the sub-gingival biofilm. Among all these microorganismes, only 20 species participate to the etiopathogenesis of periodontal diseases.Some are recognised as major periodontopathogens other play unclear role in this pathology. They belong respectively to the red and orange complex of Socransky et al. (1998). Other microorganismes such as virures, yeasts and protozoans could potentially impact the emergence and development of periodontal diseases. The presence of protozoans in periodontitis have been investigated in this study.
Aim: dis double-blind split-mouth clinical trial study was performed to evaluate teh clinical and radiographic effect of local delivery of lovastatin gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in teh treatment of chronic periodontitis. Method and Materials: 15 patients with two mandibular molar teeth with probing depth (PD)≥3 mm, clinical attachment level (CAL)≥3 mm and bone loss more than 3 mm according to parallel periapical x-ray and distance from CEJ to alveolar crest, were selected.Totally 24 mandibular molars were selected for teh study. Clinical periodontal parameters included PD, CAL, bleeding index(BI), plaque index(PI) were recorded for teh selected teeth at baseline and at 1,3 and 6 months. Radiographic assessments were performed at baseline and after 6 months. At one side teh pockets around randomly selected molar were injected with a blunt syringe filled with lovastatin gel 1.2%( case group=B), and on teh other side, teh pockets were filled with a placebo gel by a blunt syringe ( control group=A).Two-way repeated measure ANOVA test and T-test were used for statistic analysis Spss 23.( P<0.05) was considered significant.
This case control-study measures the levels of Interleukin-17 in gingival crevicular fluid and placental tissue samples of pregnant females as a possible marker in determining whether or not an association exists between chronic periodontitis and preterm labor. Interleukin-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine whose levels have been proven to increase in periodontal disease.
Subjects were selected from the outpatient clinic, Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Cairo University. Ten healthy control subjects presented with clinically healthy periodontium. Ten patients who had plaque induced gingivitis. Ten patients who had generalized chronic periodontitis. Ten patients who had generalised aggressive periodontitis. Pentraxin-3 levels were evaluated in GCF and saliva of all subjects included in this study with ELISA technique.
