Filter by:The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of subgingival delivery of Rosuvastatin gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in Smokers With Chronic Periodontitis (CP) patients.
To compare the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy with or without systemic administration of amoxicillin and metronidazole on the concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis.
To assess the association between periodontal parameters, serum lipid profile and Lp-PLA2 level in systemically healthy Chronic Periodontitis subjects and healthy controls.
The study proposes to assess the effect of multiple applications of antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment (nsPT) in smokers without use of antibiotics. Twenty smokers with a clinical diagnosis of chronic periodontitis will be treated in a split-mouth design study to either aPDT associated with scaling and root planing (SRP) or SRP only. aPDT will be performed by using a laser light source with 690 nm wavelength associated with a phenothiazine photosensitizer. The applications will occur in four episodes (at days 0, 2, 7 and 14). All patients will be monitored for 90 days. Plaque index, probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing will be performed at baseline (pre-intervention period) and 30 and 90 days after the (nsPT). Subgingival plaque samples will be collected (at baseline and 30 and 90 days after the nsPT) and the counts of 40 subgingival species will be determined using DNA-DNA checkerboard hybridization. Gingival crevicular fluid samples will be collected (at Day 0, 14, 30 and 90 after the nsPT) and the levels of Interleukin 1 beta, Interleukin 10 and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (Luminex) will be evaluated. Salivary cotinine levels will also be evaluated at baseline. Data obtained will be statistically analyzed.
Laser therapy has been proposed as a novel treatment option in controlling subgingival microorganisms. This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluates the effect of 980nm diode laser as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the management of chronic periodontitis (CP).
Approaches and objectives related to the treatment of patients with aggressive periodontitis are not markedly different compared patients with the chronic form. However, the large bone loss related to young age in this aggressive form, justify a well-founded strategy, intending to further stabilization of disease progression. For this, should make use of regenerative therapies in the advanced stages of treatment. Noteworthy is the use of proteins derived from the enamel matrix (EMD) in patients with chronic periodontitis, but there is little evidence about the effects of this material in aggressive periodontitis. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the use of EMD in patients with aggressive periodontitis, comparing them to individuals with chronic periodontitis. Will then be selected 45 subjects, among patients with generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP), with one or more intra-bony defects in radiographic examination, with a minimum size of 4 mm deep and 2 mm horizontal, associated with a probing depth (PD) ≥6mm, to be treated according to the groups: GAP+OFD (n = 15) GAP patients which will receive open flap debridement; GAP+OFD/EMD (n=15) GAP patients which will receive open flap debridement and application of EMD; GCP+OFD/EMD (n=15) GCP patients which will receive open flap debridement and application of EMD. Clinical evaluations will be performed at baseline, 3, 6 months and 1 year after. At baseline, 7, 15, 45 days, 3, 6 months and 1 year after will be collect samples of gingival fluid to detect bone markers by Luminex / MAGpix technology. For the periods baseline, 3, 6 months and 1 year will be collected subgingival biofilm for the detection and quantification of periodontal pathogens by real-PCR. Will still be carried x-rays on baseline, 6 months and 1 year after, and questionnaires about patient satisfaction and perception of therapy at baseline, 7 days and 6 months. To compare the parameters evaluated, ANOVA, Tukey, chi-square, Spearman and Person tests will be used (α = 5%).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of periodontal treatment on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of Neopterin(N) and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) in chronic periodontitis(CP) patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in comparison to systemically healthy CP patients. The investigators' hypothesized that severe CP may play a role in initiating or exacerbating MI and there is an increased risk for AMI among systemically healthy persons affected with severe CP.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of subgingival delivery of 1.2% Rosuvastatin (RSV) gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in chronic periodontitis (CP) with Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Determine the relationship between the systemic indications of atherosclerosis by means of the change in the ratio of periodontopathogenic microorganisms following periodontal treatment of individuals who have been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis-atherosclerosis and for individuals who have been diagnosed with systemically healthy-chronic periodontitis.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the levels of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and the presence of red complex microorganisms (RCM) such as Treponema denticola (T.d), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g) and Tannerella forsythia (T.f) in the subgingival tissues of chronic periodontitis subjects before and after intervention with pranayama as an adjunct to scaling and root planing.
