Filter by:Background: Chronic periodontitis is one of the most common causes of tooth loss and is rather common in the population. Treating chronic periodontitis remains a challenge for dental practitioners. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical effects of sub-gingival application of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel after root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: In this split mouth study, 733 periodontal pockets of 28 patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were chosen for investigation. They were divided into 2 groups: control group and experimental group. The experimental group received sub-gingival administration of 1 ml of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel into each pocket immediately after root planing and then after 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline and 6 weeks after root planing. Subgingival plaque was assessed at baseline and 6 weeks after root planing. Quantitative real-time PCR for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Treponema denticola (Td), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) Tannerella forsythia (Tf) were performed at the same time.
The present clinical trial included 20 patients (11 females and 9 males, aged 36 to 56 years) suffering from moderate or advanced chronic periodontitis. Subjects were recruited from the outpatient clinic, Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. This clinical trial was meant to assess clinically and radiographically the possible predictable results regarding the use of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite bone graft substitute together with open flap debridement versus open flap debridement alone in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects.
A randomized controlled clinical trial was done to assess the periodontal status of the individuals baseline followed by by including chronotherapy with complex phytoadaptogens (CFA) into the non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT). The periodontal parameters were again assessed after and compared with the control group (participants with healthy periodontium) and group with non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT).
Aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of Aloe vera gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the management of chronic periodontitis.
This study aims to determine Oncostatin M (OSM), Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and Interleukin-11 (IL-11) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva, and serum in periodontally healthy individuals and those with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis before and after periodontal treatment and to evaluate the relationship between these cytokine levels and clinical periodontal parameters.
The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis with and without coronary artery disease.
The study evaluates the influence of non-surgical mechanical periodontal treatment in patients with severe chronic periodontitis on inflammatory markers related to risk for cardiovascular diseases
The main objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ALH-L1005 in patients with chronic periodontitis
Background: To effectively disrupt microbial biofilm and remove dental calculus with minimal damage to the root surface and soft tissues with limited patient discomfort constitute a significant tenet of periodontal therapy. The aim of the present prospective 12-month study was to compare clinical and microbiological effects following an erythritol air-polishing vs. conventional mechanical debridement of furcation defects in a cohort of periodontal maintenance patients. Methods: Twenty patients with grade II mandibular molar furcation defects volunteered to enroll in this study. In a split-mouth design, two furcation sites in each patient were randomly assigned to either receive subgingival debridement using erythritol air-polishing (test) or conventional ultrasonic/curette debridement (control) at baseline, and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing were recorded at 3-month intervals. Subgingival microbiological samples obtained at baseline, 6 and 12 months were analyzed using checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization. Discomfort from treatment was scored at 12 months using a visual analogue scale.
non-surgical periodontal debridement was performed for diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis as well as for non-diabetic patients but also with chronic periodontitis. Serum resistin level was assessed in the two groups before and after periodontal therapy and also was compared to a healthy control group.
