Filter by:Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease caused by mainly bacterial, genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Chronic periodontitis, one of the widely prevalent forms of periodontal disease, is characterized by loss of attachment apparatus of the tooth; it can lead to tooth loss. Many non surgical and surgical approaches have been adapted time and again to prevent, intercept, and to treat the various forms of chronic periodontitis. But, these treatment modalities are not approachable by all individuals, because of the various factors such as: low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, high cost of the treatment, no availability of easy and uncomplicated treatment nearby etc. Considering these factors, there are still a need of preventive, practical, and affordable treatment options specially for the population of underdeveloped and developing countries.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the periodontal healthy and diseased individuals with questionnaire, 0ral health impact profile-14(OHIP-14) and dental hygiene fear scale (DHFS) scales and to examine the effect of periodontal disease on the quality of life in relation to oral health consciousness level and fear level against dentist and treatment.
The aim of this study is to compare periodontal treatment with or without the adjunct of an enamel matrix derivative in terms of acute-phase responses in healthy patients.
The aim of this study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new qualitative aMMP‐8 POC test in different periodontal health and disease and as compared to the established quantitative laboratory method (ELISA)
The primer aim of the study was to investigate saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) YKL-40 and also interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in chronic periodontitis pathogenesis.
Chlorhexidine is considered as gold standard for its antiplaque and antigingivitis efficacy till date but it has got many side effects. So it is need of the hour that investigators will find some substitute having similar antiplque and antigingivitis efficay but have less or no adverse effects. so in this study investigators planned to do "Comparative evaluation of antiplaque and antigingivitis efficacy of ocimum sanctum (tulsi) extract mouthrinse with 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthrinse.
Visfatin is an adipokine that plays an important role in immune functions as a growth factor, enzyme, and proinflammatory mediator. The investigators aimed to determine the levels of visfatin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in both obese/non-obese patients, with/without generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP). Patients were categorized as obese (O) (n=31) or non-obese (nO) (n=19). Groups were divided into four subgroups according to periodontal conditions: (1) periodontally healthy without obesity (nO-Ctrl); (2) GCP without obesity (nO-CP); (3) periodontally healthy with obesity (O-Ctrl); and (4) GCP with obesity (O-CP). Demographic variables and anthropometric and laboratory data were recorded. Periodontal measurements were recorded at baseline and 3rd months after either non-surgical periodontal treatment or calorie restricted diet therapy. At the same time GCF samples were taken from patients to analyze TNF-alpha, IL-6, and visfatin levels.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of diode laser (DL) in addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment on periodontal parameters, systemic inflammatory response, and serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic periodontitis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of obesity and exercise on periodontal and biochemical parameters [serum, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) adipokines (interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, leptin, resistin and adiponectin)].
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.
