Filter by:The present study is designed as a single-centre, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of two local drug delivery systems containing 1% ALN gel and 1.2% ATV gel in treatment of intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis as an adjunct to SRP.
Systemically healthy periodontitis patients are recruited from new referrals to the Department of Periodontology and Biology of Implants, AUTh. After completion of non-surgical periodontal treatment those subjects who have at least one interdental osseous defect with probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level of ≥ 6mm and an intrabony component of ≥ 3mm with no endodontic or furcation involvement are randomly allocated into one of the three treatment groups. Group A receives regenerative treatment using autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells free of animal derived reagents, produced in clean room facilities and seeded into collagen scaffolds enriched with fibrin glue; in Group B, a collagen fleece enriched with fibrin glue devoid of stem cells fills the osseous defect; Group C receives open flap debridement retaining the soft wall of the defect. Thereafter, subjects are followed for 12 months and are repeatedly assessed based on clinical, radiographic, immunological and microbiological parameters. In a series of cases, tissue engineering in a similar manner to Group A will be applied to treat isolated periodontal interdental defects, in combination with the novel "closed surgical technique".
Periodontitis is initiated by microbial biofilm but its progression is mediated by an abnormal host response to biofilm microorganisms. In a myriad of possible mechanisms that cause periodontal tissue destruction reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role. Imbalance between antioxidant defense system of body and ROS lead to a deleterious situation called oxidative stress. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the key enzyme of body's antioxidant defense system whereas malondialdehyde (MDA) is product of lipid peroxidation due to ROS. Free radicals and ROS have short half lives in vivo of 10-6 to 10-9 seconds. Hence measurement of ROS is done by measuring the concentration of biomarkers of tissue destruction. For treating periodontal disease, conventional mechanical therapy comprising of scaling and root planing (SRP) along with timely maintenance has been a gold standard and any other therapy considered for treating periodontitis should always be used as an adjunctive and never in lieu of it. Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol, is a principal active constituent of turmeric. Mechanism of action of curcumin is twofold-its role as a strong antioxidant and as a strong antibacterial. Its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties offer additional benefits.Periodontitis is a chronic disease of oral cavity accompanied by increased oxidative stress. Therefore the clinical application of a natural antioxidant in the form of curcuma longa can be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress and as an adjuvant in treatment of chronic periodontitis.
Periodontitis is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by loss of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, and is a major cause of tooth loss. Results from clinical and epidemiological studies have suggested that periodontitis and tooth loss are more prevalent in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is evidence to suggest that periodontitis could indeed be a causal factor in the initiation and maintenance of the autoimmune inflammatory response that occurs in RA. If so, chronic periodontitis might represent an important modifiable risk factor for RA. However, to date longitudinal studies on the effect of periodontitis on disease progression in RA are lacking. The aim of the present study is to assess the periodontal status of patients enrolled in an established longitudinal cohort of RA patients. These data will then be analysed to evaluate whether or not periodontal inflammation is related to parameters of rheumatoid arthritis.
A study on the effect of locally delivered aloe vera gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients with controlled type II diabetes mellitus.The evaluation of Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Probing Pocket Depth, Relative Attachment Level at baseline, 6 weeks and 3 months and Glycosylated heamoglobin at baseline and 3 months.
Background: Furcation is the bifurcation or trifurcation of a multirooted tooth. It is an area of complex anatomic morphology difficult to debride by routine periodontal instrumentation. Multiple approaches have been used in an effort to treat the furcation Choukroun's platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second generation platelet concentrate has biochemical components which have well known synergetic effects on healing processes. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the treatment of mandibular molar Grade 2 furcation defects in comparison to allograft and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane.
50 periodontitis 50 healthy individuals serological evaluation will done to see association of 77A/G AND 11A/12A gene polymorphisms of MMP-13
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of photoablative and photodynamic diode laser in adjunct to scaling-root planing (PAPD+SRP) and SRP alone for the treatment of periodontitis.
The aim of this study is to assess the influence of the severity of chronic periodontitis on hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients.Secondary purposes of this protocol is to identify evolution of several biomarkers and correlate the clinical situation with oral microflora.
This is a controlled, randomized, single-blinded, multicenter, prospective clinical study. In addition to the standard periodontal treatment procedure on all teeth that need to be treated, the 4 teeth with the deepest pockets (between 4 and 6 mm) will be randomized to either PERIOSYAL® FILL and oral hygiene or oral hygiene alone. The pocket depth will be measured at six sites around each tooth, and only the deepest pocket sites of each tooth will be taken into account.
