Filter by:The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate chlorhexidine gel associated with photodynamic therapy in the treatment of chronic periodontitis in diabetic participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: • To evaluate the clinical and microbiological response of conventional periodontal treatment associated with photodynamic therapy in diabetic participants. Participants will receive periodontal treatment carried out with the use of 2% chlorhexidine gel associated with 0.005% methylene blue and laser therapy, associated with conventional periodontal treatment, as well as the use of photodynamic therapy associated with conventional periodontal treatment in diabetic participants with periodontitis. So, twenty periodontitis patients will be selected and will separated in two groups compared with placebo. And, Clinical and microbiological parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months after periodontal treatment: Plaque Index, Bleeding On Probe, Probing depth, Gingival Recession and Clinical Attachment Level.
The loss of periodontal attachment contributes to reduced masticatory performance and has a negative impact on general health.This clinical trial aims to assess the status of masticatory performance among patients with stage I, stage II, stage III and stage IV periodontitis, along with those with healthy periodontium.
The quantification of NLRP6 in blood samples will be analyzed from individuals with chronic periodontitis but without systemic disease. Demographic and periodontal parameters will be assessed and correlated with the NLRP6 quantification using RT-PCR.
The goal of this observational is to analyze the relationship between levels of interleukin-18 (IL-18), interleukin (IL-1β), Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain -like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), caspase-1, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT-1), Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (SNHG5), and maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) in saliva, serum, and peripheral mononuclear blood cell (PMBC)in patients with periodontitis and smokers, to examine the changes in these biomarkers after non surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT), and to evaluate potential confounders that may mediate this relationship. The main questions it aims to answer are: question 1: Is there a relationship between the biomarkers mentioned above and periodontitis and smoking? question 2:How do the above-mentioned biomarkers change after NSPT in smokers and non-smokers?
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly caused by the oral microbial biofilm. It involves the periodontal supporting tissues mainly features gum inflammation, alveolar bone resorption, periodontal pocket formation, and tooth loosening but also induces various systemic diseases, which seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients. The response to periodontal infection is mediated by various intracellular signalling pathways leading to the production of numerous bio-molecules. Vitronectin is a multifunctional protein with a multiple binding domain that interacts with a variety of plasma and cell proteins. It belongs to the group of adhesive glycoproteins that is involved in various functions including complement activation, blood coagulation, binding to proteoglycans, and modification of the matrix. Among the various cystatins expressed in serum and saliva, Fetuin-A, an another protein is produced majorly by healthy hepatic and adipose tissues. Fetuin-A has been recognized as a multifunctional molecule related to its role in metabolic processes, insulin resistance, regulation of adipogenesis and mineralization throughout the body. The study aims to determine the expression of Vitronectin and Fetuin-A as potential pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory biomarkers respectively. These protein molecules can further play a role as putative risk indicators in periodontitis subjects with and without coronary artery disease following non-surgical therapy.
Treatment of periodontitis requires removal of dental biofilm both through professional mechanical plaque removal and domiciliar oral hygiene procedures. This study aims to compare biometric and psychological results after professional treatment of periodontitis carried out by piezoelectric or magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices.
This study aims to investigate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri as an adjunctive therapy to non-surgical periodontal treatment of chronic periodontitis with type 2 diabetes.
This study aims to compare two common oral hygiene routines on the improvement of glycemic control and oral health parameters in moderate to severe periodontitis patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It is currently unclear if one oral hygiene routine is more effective than the other. The two routines being compared are: Group 1: Scaling and root planing + oral hygiene routine with use of an electric toothbrush (Sonicare Diamond Clean Smart ®) along with its mobile app Group 2: Scaling and root planing + oral hygiene routine with use of manual toothbrush The specific aims of the study are: Aim 1: To assess the impact of Sonicare Diamond Clean Smart ® use on the glycemic control as an adjunct to scaling and root planing and oral hygiene instructions for T2DM patients with moderate to severe periodontitis patients. Aim 2: To assess oral health parameters which include clinical measurements and immune-inflammatory cytokines.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness in periodontal regeneration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid at 1.8% (Hyadent BG®) with enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain®) in periodontal bone defects evaluating their clinical and radiographic variables.
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.
