Filter by:Periodontal disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) have the same inflammatory etiopathogenesis and demonstrate a bidirectional relationship, for DM2 affects the severity of PD, and this may contribute to the overall inflammatory burden of the individual, influencing the natural course DM2. The aim of this study is to establish whether individuals with DM with or without chronic periodontitis have an increase in oxLDL and what is the influence of periodontal treatment in the reduction of oxLDL with consequent improvement in Diabetes Mellitus parameters.
Subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) are accepted as the gold standard in covering denuded root surfaces. Combining enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) with periodontoplasic surgical operations is another method in covering denuded root surface. The aim of this study is to compare a SCTG operation group and EMD applied group in addition to SCTG using complete root coverage rate and a newer method root coverage esthetic scoring system (RES).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a newly formulated foaming gel product on gingivitis and/or moderate periodontitis when used with or without the GLO Science accelerating device (GLO Device), compared to standard tooth brushing with antioxidant whitening toothpaste with or without flossing (split mouth design for control group). This is a 60-day randomized single blinded parallel group study. After 42 days, all use of interventional products were discontinued, and the participants returned to the clinical center at day 60 for final measurements. The primary outcomes assessed in this study were the differences in gingival index (GI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) from baseline to 42 & 60 days. The secondary outcomes are tooth whitening, oral malodor, pocket depth and plaque amount. It is hypothesized that participants using the gingival health product with the GLO Device will experience greater reductions in GI & BOP measurements than the control group, as well as participants using the gingival health product on a toothbrush alone.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dentifrice containing 0.3% triclosan on periodontal and peri-implant parameters in patients, with or without periodontitis, treated for peri-implantitis and that were enrolled in a maintenance phase for two years.
The aim of the present clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the novel toothpaste in patients diagnosed with gingivitis and/or periodontitis.
Background: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between maternal preeclampsia and periodontal parameters and the correlation of these two disorders with maternal gingival crevicular fluid levels (GCF) of interleukin (IL)-35, interleukin-37 and interleukin-6. The investigators also investigated their relation to the severity of preeclampsia. Methods: 82 preeclamptic women were recruited to the study (29 healthy pregnant women, 30 mild preeclamptic patient, 23 severe preeclamptic patient ). The clinical periodontal parameters and GCF samples were collected in the first day of puerperium.
This study had the following aims: i. to determine the relationship between anticipated pain and actual pain experienced following periodontal surgery; and ii. determine the factors that predict the amount of pain and the amount of pain medication use following periodontal surgery. It was hypothesized that experienced pain will be significantly less than anticipated pain. It was also hypothesized that the following factors will affect pain experienced: sex, type of surgery, nervousness, anticipated pain, sedation, age, smoking status, supplement use and pain pill usage. It was hypothesized that the following factors will affect pain pill usage: sex, type of surgery, nervousness, anticipated pain, sedation, age, smoking status, supplement use, and actual pain.
This study is a double-blind, randomised, parallel group efficacy study. A minimum of 240 healthy female and male participants aged over 18 years will participate. The participants will be randomised into two groups. Participants will be randomly assigned to the test groups according the allocation table prepared by the Statistician. Participants will be enrolled on to the study according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. After enrollment participants will have their teeth cleaned using a professional prophylaxis polish by the study hygienist. The participants will then be provided with a standard cosmetic silica fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush to use at home, twice a day for up to four weeks. After this time, they will return to the test site and have the baseline dental assessments. Participants will then be randomly allocated to one of the two test products which they will use at home, twice a day for the duration of the study. Dental assessments will be conducted after 13 and 26 weeks of product use at the study site.
Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and bioactive glass putty has been shown to be effective in promoting reduction in probing depth, gain in clinical attachment, and defect fill in intrabony periodontal defects. The individual role played by bioactive glass putty in combination with PRF is yet to be elucidated. AIM: To compare the clinical effectiveness of the combination of Plaltelet Rich Fibrin and Bioactive Glass Putty and Bioactive glass putty regenerative techniques for intrabony defects in humans. Material and methods: Ten pairs of intrabony defects were surgically treated with PRF and Bioactive glass putty (Test group) on one side or bioactive glass putty (Control group) on other side. The primary outcomes of the study included changes in probing depth, attachment level and bone fill of Osseous defect. The clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months. Radiographic assessment was done using standardized intra oral periapical radiographs. Comparisions were made within each group between baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months using the ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni test.
This study aimed at correlating global behavior of Down's Syndrome patients to periodontal disease status.
