Filter by:Periodontal disease is a gum infection caused by plaque on teeth containing both bacteria and calculus (hard) deposits. These need to be removed on a regular basis to maintain gum health and to prevent teeth weakening. A routine cleaning procedure, scaling/root planing, is accompanied with post-operative soft tissue tenderness and teeth sensitivity making oral hygiene maintenance difficult during wound healing. The need for novel therapeutic approaches, such as cyanoacrylate adhesives, has been identified. It has been hypothesized that its application may provide comfort and assist patients with their daily oral self-care procedures following teeth cleaning.
we hypothesized that hyperlipidemia as an unfavourable levels of lipoprotein subfractions have deleterious impact on the development of periodontal infection by altering oxidative stres status of periodontal tissues. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate i) effect of hyperlipidemia on oxidative change in GCF content, ie. MDA, PC and TAOC levels, in patients with different periodontal status,
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)-related antibodies and periodontal inflammation in subjects at-risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Subjects will undergo periodontal and joint examinations, as well as collection of body fluids to measure Rheumatoid Arthritis-related antibodies.
Periodontal diseases are complex chronic pathologies presenting a high prevalence worldwide. Etiopathological process involved in initiation and progression of these multifactorial diseases are not well understood, explaining the huge clinical forms variability and the complexity of the currently used classification of periodontal diseases. Recently, the implication of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been suggested as potential track of explanation for periodontal diseases pathogeny. The here presented study explore the level of expression of genes coding those peptides by studying periodontal smears obtained from healthy and periodontitis patients.
In the field of periodontics, periodontal support therapy has proven to be essential in preventing the incidence or recurrence of periodontal diseases. The protocol is designed according to the risk profile of a patient. For example, in the presence of the history of periodontal therapy, subgingival microbiota containing large numbers of spirochetes and mobile rods can recolonize pockets 4-8 weeks after scaling. Similarly, routine maintenance of dental implants has been recommended to prudently avoid peri-implant inflammation, Indeed, the understanding of the nature of the tissue around the implant and its pattern of disease would be important to consider, even surpassing importance. Recently, a systematic review by our group has identified the importance of maintenance therapy around implants because it can help prevent about 3 times patient-level frequency peri-implantitis. Henceforth, our primary goal was to study the influence in a cross-sectional study of the frequency of peri-implantitis patients according to their post-implant placement and corresponding prosthesis visits supportive peri-implant maintenance. As such, it will be shown: 1. What are the local and systemic factors affecting the appearance of peri-implantitis 2. The ideal frequency of supportive peri-implant maintenance in patients who do not develop peri-implant disease 3. What is the population of patients who come to supportive peri-implant maintenance after placement of dental implants
The gold standard for the treatment of gingival recession, is the coronal repositioning of the flap associated with the subepithelial connective tissue graft. The acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been used as a substitute a subepithelial connective tissue graft in periodontal plastic surgery and mucogengivais, and has achieved similar results. The use of ADM has the advantage of avoiding possible pre and postoperative complications, as well as overcome the limitations presented by autograft. The different surgical techniques used for root coverage seek predictability and success. For this, besides the type of incision placements flap and graft are of utmost importance because the healing benefit and outcome. The aim of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for root coverage and evaluate which one provides better cosmetic results and less morbidity . 20 adults , nonsmoking patients , showing multiple bilateral gingival recessions , class I or II Miller located in canine, first and second premolars are selected. Both techniques use the ADM as a graft. However , in one Quadrant partial flap will be held together with relaxing incisions through an incision intrasucular , ADM will be positioned 1 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the flap will be positioned 1 mm coronal CEJ. In the opposite quadrant a minimally invasive technique periosteal envelope above does not use relaxing incisions , preserves the buds will be held , as well as avoiding any scars, the graft will be used to ADM. The clinical parameters (probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing index, height and width of the gingival retraction and height and thickness of keratinized gingiva) will be evaluated 2 weeks after the basic periodontal therapy and after 6 and 12 months to surgical procedures. In addition, measurements of photographic gingival recession with the aid of software will be performed.
Aim: clinical effectiveness of 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinse in patients with gingivitis as compared to non-alcoholic chlorhexidine mouth wash. Methods & Material: Twenty-four subjects, without systemic diseases, with plaque-induced gingivitis will be selected for this study. The patients were treated with scaling and root planing at the baseline; Oral hygiene instructions were given that included brushing twice- daily, The volunteers brushed their teeth with the Bass brushing technique for at least 2 minutes, these patients were randomly ,equally divided into two groups, Group A: perform daily mouthwashes twice a day with the solution containing 10 ml of 0.05 cetyl pyridinium, (Vi-one, Rojin, Cosmetic-Lab, Kurdistan -Iran), Group B: use daily mouthwashes twice a day with 10ml of the chlorhexidine(Kin Laboratories, Spain), On day 0,7,15 and day 21 of each phase the Plaque Index (PI), Pocket depth(PD), Stain Index(SI) and Bleeding Index (BI) of each volunteer were measured.
This is a pilot study to determine whether knowledge gained by an individual of genetic risk for severe periodontitis changes the patient's health behavior as measured by an increased frequency of their preventive dental office visits. In addition to the primary objectives of the study, the overall design and logistics will be used to inform a possible future study.
This study is to verify the efficacy of tobacco cessation in patients with oral diseases; periodontitis, dental implant and oral mucosal diseases by a multicenter prospective trial. Tobacco cessation intervention is implemented for 12 weeks. During the tobacco cessation intervention for the subjects, attending doctors implement standard treatments for their oral diseases. Improvement of each disease is evaluated between smoking cessation intervention group and non-cessation intervention group.
27 subjects on SPT, each with at least two residual pockets ≥5mm, were recruited for this randomised, split-mouth controlled trial, providing a total of 72 sites. At baseline, probing pocket depth (PPD), recession, clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque and bleeding on probing (BOP) of all sites were examined. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were collected to determine level of cytokines IL-1β, -6, -8, TNF-α and MMP-8 via ELISA. Control sites received subgingival instrumentation and rubber cup polishing with pumice. In addition test sites received a single application of PDT using Fotosan® and photosensitizer consisting of toludine blue O solution. The subjects were recalled three and six months later and re-examined. Site level analysis was performed.
