View clinical trials related to Chronic Periodontitis.
Filter by:This study was carried out in the Department of Periodontology and source of patient was be from the outpatient section of Tatyasaheb Kore Dental College & Research Centre, New Pargaon. Study included the 31 patients with chronic periodontitis, with age group between 35-60 years, two interdental suprabony pockets with 5-8mm pocket depth in two different quadrants were chosen as the test site (TS) and control sites (CS). In control sites, only SRP was performed followed by placement of placebo distilled water. In test sites, SRP was followed by placement of Lyophilized saccharomyces boulardii in the pocket. S. boulardii will be delivered subgingivally by by mixing 1gm of sachet containing 250mg of lyophilized yeast with 0.5ml of distilled water this prepared paste was injected in the perio pocket with luer lock syringe and cannula .The subgingival plaque samples were collected at baseline, 4th day, 4 week for detection of p. gingivalis for microbiological analysis and clinical parameters wiere recorded at baseline and at 1 month.
This study will assess clinical and microbiological efficacy of probiotics and antibiotics in patients of chronic periodontitis as an adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) in reducing bacterial count and in improving clinical periodontal parameters over the period of 12 weeks.Also the comparison between these adjunctives will be made for clinical assessment clinical periodontal parameters will be taken .these parameters plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), clinical attachment loss (CAL) and pocket probing depth (PPD) for microbiological assessment plaque sample will be taken, DNA will be extracted and then sample will be processed through quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for quantitative analysis of bacterial count of porphyromonas gingivalis.
Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease resulting in inflammation of the teeth support structures, progressive periodontal attachment loss and bone loss. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (TFDA) in multiple applications as an adjunct to surgical periodontal therapy in patients with generalized severe chronic periodontitis. A total of twenty patients will be submitted to this split-mouth trial, receiving initial periodontal basic nonsurgical treatment that is scaling and root planing. After the sites are indicated for surgical therapy, they receive surgical access therapy associated with scaling and root planing and TfdA using the treatment protocol during periods of 0, 7, 14 and 30 postoperative days, or only surgical access therapy associated with scaling and root planing. As protocol, TfdA will be used laser light source 660nm wavelength in combination with phenothiazine, a photosensitizer with 10 seconds of exposure per site during surgery and 60 seconds in other applications. All patients will be oral hygiene care and follow-up for 90 days. In the baseline period, basic post-therapy, 30 and 90 days after surgical therapy will be performed the clinical evaluation of plaque index, depth of probing pocket, level of clinical insertion relative and bleeding on probing, beyond the collection plate samples subgingival 40 for counting microbial species using the method of DNA-DNA hybridization checkerboard. For the same periods are also collected samples of gingival crevicular fluid for evaluating fluid volume (Periotron) and the levels of Interleukin 1 beta, Interleukin 10, MMP-8, tumor necrosis factor alpha, RANK-L and Osteoprotegerin (OPG). The data are statistically analyzed with the tests to the sample.
Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of tooth and supporting tissues with clinical signs of bone and connective tissue loss and is mediated by a combination of periodontal pathogens and host defense systems. Currently the use of herbal products in dentistry is increasing due to their easy availability, low cost and lesser side effects. One such herbal plant is Morus alba which is known to possess medicinal properties. Therefore the present study was conducted to determine the clinical effectiveness of subgingivally delivered Morus alba gel incorporated into polaxamers vehicle for its controlled release on periodontal pocket in adjunct to scaling and root planing for treatment of moderate periodontitis patients. Methods: one hundred eighty patients with chronic periodontitis having pocket depth of ≥5 mm in atleast two different teeth were treated by full-mouth scaling and root planning (SRP) and curettage. They were randomly assigned into one of the three groups with 60 in each group: Group 1: Chlorhexidine Sol-gel was applied at baseline, 15 and 30 days. Group 2: Morus alba Sol-gel was applied at baseline, 15 and 30 days. Grpup 3: Placebo gel was applied at baseline, 15 and 30 days. Plaque index (PI) (Silness and Loe), Gingival index (GI) (Loe and Silness), Community Periodontal index, Periodontal pocket depth and quantitative analysis (anaerobic culture) of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia were assessed at baseline and after 45 days.
Systemically healthy periodontitis patients were recruited in this single-blind, split-mouth, randomized controlled clinical trial. After SRP, PDT was applied at probing depth (PD) ≥ 4 mm at test quadrant. At baseline, 3rd month and 6th month, clinical parameters and cytokine pattern in gingival crevicular fluids (GCFs) were analysed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinicaland laboratory (as oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory mediators) effects of the use of gaseous ozone in periodontal treatment in addition to scaling and root planning. The study population consisted of 40 patients with CP (chronic periodontitis). It was performed with two groups; The Test Group, and the Control Group. SRP plus gaseous ozone [1 W (100 mJ, 10 Hz)] was applied to the Test Group. The Control Group, on the other hand, had only SRP.The clinical periodontal parameters were performed and saliva samples were taken before SRP (baseline) and 1 month after treatment. The periodontal examination involved assessing the plaque index, gingival index , probing depth, and clinical attachment level. The total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, nitric oxide, 8-hidroxi-deoksiguanosine, myeloperoxidase, glutathione, malondialdehyde and transforming growth factor-beta levels were determined in the saliva samples.
This study comparatively evaluate the expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in smoker vs non-smoker chronic periodontitis patients as well as periodontally healthy subjects. the hypothesis of this study was that smoking may interfere with periodontal disease by effecting MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions.
Modified perforated membrane (MPM) is considered as a modality that could enable participation of periosteal cells and gingival stem cells which could improve the outcomes of guided tissue regeneration more than the use of the traditional occlusive membrane (OM). Simvastatin (SMV) modulates bone formation by increasing the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and angiogenesis. Ethylenediaminetetraacitic acid (EDTA) found to be effective as low ph etchant for smear layer removal and exposing root surface collagen. The investigators compared the clinical and radiographic outcome of SMV gel combined with MPM to SMV gel combined with OM with and without an associated EDTA gel root surface etching for improving bone regeneration in intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients. Moreover, evaluation of SMV gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels availability for 30 days in cases with and without EDTA root surface etching was performed.
The quantification of the proteomes : L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin was analysed in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus.The demographic and the periodontal parameters were assessed and the correlated with the quantification of the proteins. The mRNA expression was analyzed with RT-PCR and the quantification of protein was done using ELISA.
Periodontitis is related to host genetics, constitution of the dental biofilm and environmental factors such as smoking. DNA methylation is a mechanism of genetic expression that can inhibit or silence gene expression. In this way several researchers have been dedicated to study the genetic influence on the susceptibility and / or increased risk to periodontal disease. Studies have reported association between several epigenetic biomarkers with periodontal inflammation. Considering the hypothesis that there is an association between smoking and methylation in genes related to periodontal disease, the objective of this study was to verify the DNA methylation pattern in oral epithelial cells of patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) in the promoter of a specific gene involved in the control of inflammation, as suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 1 in smokers and nonsmokers patients.
