Neopterin is an early and valuable biomarker of cellular immunity, shown to be a sensitive assessment parameter for cell-mediated immune reactions. Hence determination of neopterin concentrations in distinctive body fluids is of diagnostic interest in a wide range of T lymphocytes and macrophages originated diseases. Increased neopterin production is also found in infections due to intracellular living bacteria and parasites. Neopterin concentration is directly proportional to the reactive oxygen species levels and is inversely related to the serum concentration of antioxidants like alpha-tocopherol. Hence it can be regarded as a marker of reactive oxygen species formed by the activated cellular immune system. Consequentially this is useful for predicting the prognosis and diagnosis of severe form of periodontal diseases. Menopause accomplishes a wide range of changes in women's body, and the oral cavity is also not exceptional. As exalted levels of ovarian hormones, detected in pregnancy and oral contraceptive usage, can lead to an increase of gingival inflammation. On the contrary, menopause shows depleted levels of ovarian sex steroids, which also causes worsening of gingival health. Post-menopause was found to be more aggressive and destructive in nature compared to pre-menopause. It has been assessed that the prevalence of oral discomfort was found to be significantly higher along with low flow rates of the saliva with the presence of periodontal disease more frequently. Studies demonstrated that non-surgical periodontal therapy reduces inflammation and improves periodontal status. Therefore it can be assumed that overall inflammatory markers also reduce after non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Quantification of NLRP3 (rs4612666) and CARD8 (rs20432111) will be analysed in the subgingival plaque and blood samples of generalized chronic periodontitis with and without coronary heart disease. The demographic and the periodontal parameters were assessed and correlated with the quantification of NLRP3 (rs4612666) and CARD8 (rs2043211) was analysed with RT-PCR
To assess the demographic variables, periodontal parameters and to determine the expression of Trefoil factors 2 and 3 and Adrenomedullin in unstimulated saliva samples of periodontally healthy subjects with coronary heart disease and generalised chronic periodontitis subjects with and without coronary heart disease.
This study was performed to evaluate the effects of both periodontal treatment and smoking on the gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) levels of interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-17E, Total oxidative stress(TOS) and total antioxidant capasity(TAOC) in smoking and non-smoking patients with severe chronic periodontitis. Systemically healthy 15 smoker,15 non-smoker with chronic periodontitis were attended for the study. Periodontal status were determined by recording periodontal clinical measurements. GCF samples were collected at the baseline, at the end of initial periodontal treatment and 4 weeks after periodontal flap surgery. The data were tested statistically by the Student t and paired sample t tests.
Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory and polymicrobic disease characterized by the irreversible loss of alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment of the teeth. Chronic periodontitis is the most prevalent type of periodontitis and it is seen in the great majority of the adult population. The main objective of periodontal treatment is to heal the inflammatory tissue, to eliminate unhealthy periodontal pockets, and to reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria. The traditional treatment of chronic periodontitis is debridement performed with hand tools and ultrasonic devices. However, in deep pockets, which are difficult to access, mechanical root surface debridement is not sufficient to remove the biofilm via root instrumentation. The regeneration of the periodontium aims at the reconstitution of the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum. Platelet concentrates have gained popularity in regenerative periodontal therapy due to their autologous nature. Their regenerative potential is associated with growth factors such as TGFβ-1, PDGF, EGF, IGF-I, and VEGF, stimulate cell proliferation and regulate matrix remodeling and angiogenesis. Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that regulate cell growth and development. They also modulate cell proliferation, migration, extracellular matrix formation and other cellular functions in epithelization. In addition, some growth factors may function as cell differentiation factors. These functions of the growth factors support epithelization following surgical periodontal treatment and reduce postoperative pain and swelling with their anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, studies have reported their antibacterial potentials. Different platelet concentrates such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are obtained when whole blood is centrifuged at different speeds and for different durations. When the literature is reviewed, it is seen that these platelet concentrates are frequently used in regenerative therapies in dentistry. In 2010, Sohn et al. obtained autologous fibrin glue (AFG), an injectable platelet concentrate, by centrifuging venous blood for two minutes in a special centrifuge device (Medifuge, Silfradent, Italy; 2400-2700 rpm). AFG is used, by mixing it with bone grafts, in the production of sticky bone, which could be an alternative to titanium mesh and bone block procedures that enable grafts to remain more stable in defects. It was found in the literature review that studies on AFG, which is a second-generation platelet concentrate, are limited in number. It was also found that these studies were conducted on sticky bone, obtained by mixing AFG with bone grafts, and there are no studies in which AFG is used alone to treat periodontal diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of AFG, an injectable platelet concentration, on clinical parameters in the nonsurgical treatment of chronic periodontitis.
Local drug delivery provides higher concentrations in the availability of the drug at the specific infected sites with the advantage of sustained release. Periocline is a long acting , sustained release local drug delivery system consisting of 2% minocycline hydrochloride in an ointment containing microcapsule type particles. Periocline contains 20mg of minocycline in 0.5 gm of gel in a disposable polypropylene applicator (2% minocycline HCl). Research has yielded promising results with the local application of minocycline in the treatment of periodontal disease, compared with other non-surgical therapies. However, there is scarcity of reports on the use of local delivery agents with respect to new range of putative pathogens in advanced periodontitis, wherein the tissue invasive anaerobic organisms are present and possibly compromised host response, hence resulting in an exaggerated breakdown of periodontal tissues at the affected sites. The effect of Minocycline on new putative pathogens, such as Filifactor alocis and oral phylotypes of phyla Synergistetes and TM7 (referred to hereafter as oral Synergistetes and oral TM7s), has not been investigated yet. Hence, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of a local delivery agent containing minocycline (Periocline, Sunstar, Japan) as an adjunct to SRP in the treatment of deep periodontal pockets around teeth in advanced periodontitis and the antimicrobial effect on the red complex and the new putative pathogens.
This double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, parallel clinical trial involved seventy five patients, suffering with chronic periodontitis, which were randomly divided in three groups: negative control (SRP+placebo), positive control (SRP+0.12% CHX), and test group (SRP+1% MTC mouth rinse). Mouth rinsing (adjunctive therapy) was continued for 1 month while clinical parameters [plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession (GR), stain index (SI)] were evaluated at base line, 1 month, and 3 months. CFU was also evaluating at above said time periods.
Clinical evaluation of local subgingival application of injectable platelet-rich fibrin ( i-PRF ) for chronic periodntitis as adjunctive to non surgical therapy and compare it with hyaluronic acid. 120 periodontal patients will receive a scaling and root planing ( non surgical periodontal therapy). Equal number of patients will receive subgingival application of i-PRF, hyaluronic acid or placebo gel as the adjunction to non surgical therapy.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an intervention, non-surgical periodontal treatment (SPR), in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and moderate-severe periodontal disease aimed at reducing HbA1c levels at 12 months compared with the usual practice in Primary Health Care.
