Filter by: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.
Guided tissue regeneration(GTR) uses membranous materials to shield gingival epithelial cells and connective tissue cells which grow more rapidly, creating an effective closed space and time for periodontal ligament cells with regenerative potential, so that new cementum is formed on the root surface and periodontal ligament fibers are embedded, resulting in regenerative healing. In order to improve the effect of periodontal regeneration therapy, as early as 1990s, scholars began to mix platelet concentrate and bone graft in periodontal regenerative surgery to improve the ability of local bone induction and tissue healing. Studies have shown that platelet concentrate, which is rich in a variety of growth factors in autologous blood, can promote soft tissue and bone tissue healing by acting on tissue healing cells (osteoblasts, epithelial cells, connective tissue cells, etc.). It is closely related to periodontal regeneration; the regenerative component of platelet concentrate, growth factor, and the structure of fibrin network containing growth factor are the key to promote tissue repair and regeneration.Modified platelet-rich fibrin (advanced platelet rich fibrin,APRF) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) are the latest generation of platelet concentrates. A number of studies have shown that APRF and CGF contain more cytokines, have a denser fibrin network, and show stronger ability to promote the migration and proliferation of gingival fibroblasts, suggesting that both of them may have better ability to promote bone tissue healing. At present, the latest generation of platelet concentrate has been widely used in implant surgery, but their clinical effects in periodontal regeneration surgery are still lack of conclusive evidence. there is no report on comparing the clinical effects of the two through randomized clinical controlled trials.
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.
Evaluation of clinical and microbiological effect of lactobacillus reuteri probiotics.
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).
