View clinical trials related to Chronic Periodontitis.
Filter by:Chronic Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition and a common disease worldwide. Honey has been used in dentistry for its beneficial properties. It has been used in many oral conditions like gingivitis and periodontal diseases for its antibacterial and healing properties, on the other hand, aloe vera gel is known for its anti-inflammatory aspects, and it has been used in dentistry for its potential advantages. Objective The main objective of the study was to find out the effects of gingival massage with aloe-vera gel and sidr honey as adjunct to non surgical therapy after one month in patients with Chronic periodontitis and to find out whether there is a difference in the efficacy of aloe-vera gel and sidr honey in reducing plaque index, gingival index, pocket depth and bleeding on probing after one month of gingival massage when used as adjunct to non-surgical therapy. Method 105 patients with chronic periodontitis were selected in this single-blinded Randomized control clinical trial. At recruitment non-surgical therapy i-e scaling and root debridement was performed. At baseline all clinical parameters, gingival index, plaque index, bleeding on probing and pocket depths were recorded. All the participants were then randomly divided in three groups, Group A: SRD & Gingival massage with Aloe-vera gel, Group B: SRD & Gingival massage with Sidr honey and Group C SRD only. On 30th day of trial all the patients were re-examined for all the clinical parameters. Statistical Analysis SPSS version 21 was used for data entry and analysis with significance level set at Ƥ <0.05. Median, median difference and Inter Quartile ranges were reported for plaque index, gingival index, probing depth and percentages were reported for bleeding on probing. Wilcoxon Signed rank test was used for pre and post comparison. Mann Whitney test was applied for comparison between groups.
The Er:YAG laser possesses specific characteristics allowing to be used in non-surgical periodontal treatment. The aim of the resent study was to evaluate the long-term clinical effectiveness of Er:YAG laser monotherapy in the treatment of moderate chronic periodontitis and to compare it with conventional hand instrumentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 451 teeth (1,099 periodontal pockets) from 30 patients with moderate chronic periodontitis (initial probing pocket depth 4 to 6 mm) were allocated for subgingival scaling and root planing in two groups - hand instrumentation (control) and Er:YAG laser instrumentation with 100mJ/15Hz (test). Using a computerized periodontal probe, patients were examined for probing pocket depth (PPD), gingival recession (GR), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque presence (FMPS) at baseline, one, three, six and 12 months after instrumentation.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy on the clinical periodontal and biochemical parameters among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) having periodontitis. Methods: A total of 50 RA patients with periodontitis were included. The subjects were equally divided into two groups: Group A - scaling and root planning (SRP) + PDT; Group B - SRP only, respectively. Plaque score (PS), bleeding on probing (BOP), pocket depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were estimated. The biochemical parameters included the assessment of interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and rheumatoid factors (RFs). Multiple comparisons were established by employing the Bonferroni's post-hoc test for both clinical and laboratory biomarker data. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compute the p-value for intergroup comparisons. For intra-group comparisons, the p-value was computed with the help of Wilcoxon signed ranks test.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of proanthocyanidins as an adjunctive periodontal therapy in patients with periodontitis. Recently proanthocyanidins were proposed as a viable adjunct to periodontal treatment. Preclinical studies have shown high antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capacities of proanthocyanidins, that could reduce periodontal inflammation and promote periodontal tissues regeneration. In addition, proanthocyanidins demonstrate a specific antibacterial characteristic to attack periodonto-pathogenic bacteria (Porphyromonas gingivalis) but save the oral commensal bacteria (Streptococcus salivarius). Patients with periodontitis (stage III-IV) were included in this study. Patients with periodontitis received two different treatment modalities: minimally invasive non-surgical therapy only (MINST group) or minimally invasive non-surgical therapy and subgingival application of collagen hydrogels with proanthocyanidins (MINST+PACNs group). Clinical periodontal parameters (PPD, CAL, BOP, PI) were evaluated before treatment and after 8 weeks. Concentrations of immunological markers MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in saliva were investigated.
For proving the potential of tropical medicaments on clinical parameters of periodontitis, a comprehensive assessment is required between therapeutic medicaments. The main aim of the study was to clinically evaluate and compare the efficacy of indocyanine green mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) and aleo vera (AV) extract when used as an adjunct therapy to scaling and root planning (SRP) for treatment of chronic periodontitis. One hundred and fifty patients included in this study were randomly distributed in three treatment groups Group I (SRP), Group II (SRP+PDT) and Group III (SRP+AV). Four clinical parameters plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BoP), periodontal (PD) pocket depth and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated at three time points baseline, 3rd and 6th month respectively. Additionally the amount of three inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8 and TNF- α in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was identified using enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) technique.
With this design, this study hypothesizes that; (i) ICG-PDT would produce superior clinical, microbiological, and immune-inflammatory outcomes as compared to RSD and (ii) ICG-PDT would produce equal efficacy among different forms of diabetes as produced in non-diabetic subjects and that diabetes mellitus would not produce negative impact on the therapeutic outcomes of ICG-PDT. Therefore, the aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of ICG-mediated aPDT in the treatment of stage III grade C periodontitis among patients with prediabetes, T2DM and non-diabetic subjects.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the regenerative potential of Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) and Bioactive Glass (Perioglas®) bone graft in the treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients.
Healing of post-extraction alveolus is a complex process that involves soft and hard tissues regeneration. Pain, swelling, difficulty of opening the mouth, delayed healing of bone tissue, alveolitis and horizontal or vertical resorption of bone tissue are the main problems that have impact on consequent treatment. Blood concentrates PRGF (plasma rich in growth factors) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), which are rich in growth factors, create better conditions for post-extraction alveolus healing and enhance quality of soft tissues and bone regeneration. Our study objective was to compare physiological healing of post-extraction zone, PRF and PRGF induced changes of healing process. Methods that we used: 43 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups: I control group - lower molar extraction and filling of post-extraction alveolus with hemostatic sponge containing gentamicin, II group - post-extraction alveolus is filled PRGF and III group - post-extraction alveolus is filled with PRF. Bone regeneration was evaluated in CBCT scans after 1 month. Pain was evaluated using visual analogical scale (VAS).
This clinical study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of biodegradable gelatin sponge loaded with Beta-tricalcium phosphate socked in concentrated growth factors in the treatment of periodontal intra-bony defects, as compared with biodegradable gelatin/beta-tricalcium phosphate sponges alone.
