Filter by: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)
This study will evaluate periodontal and systemic parameters of a cohort of chronic kidney disease (stage 5) patients, before and three months after non-surgical periodontal treatment. It does not consider a control group.
this will be an RCT. to determine if non-surgical treatment for periodontitis can improve the disease activity score in 28 joints of rheumatoid arthritis in an African setting. Rheumatoid arthritis patients with periodontal disease will be randomised into an immediate intervention arm and a delayed intervention arm and both groups will be followed for two three monthly periods
Epigenetics has produced a high impact in biomedical research and is providing new biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. In addition, epigenetics is also contributing to analyze the molecular causes underlying diseases, even so periodontal diseases as it has been recently reviewed. In this regard, changes in the methylation of genes codifying for pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines has been previously reported. miRNAs are very promising biomolecules to be used as biomarkers because miRNAs act as signaling molecules and participate in many biological processes, such as cellular development, differentiation, and apoptosis. The high stability of circulating miRNAs in the RNase-rich environment of the bloodstream and also in different biospecimens used in clinical routine, make these biomolecules an optimal source of candidate biomarkers. In fact, miRNAs have demonstrated their value as dynamic biomarkers in a wide variety of human diseases. Therefore, miRNAs can be used for the monitoring of periodontal disease. The objective of this research is to analyze the levels of bone remodeling RANKL / OPG biomolecular markers, and the epigenetic regulation of these proteins to identify promising biomarkers of periodontal disease. Material and Methods. Levels of RANKL and OPG will be measured in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) to assess the state of bone. These samples will be sent to the lab for quantification by ELISA method. Furthermore, new epigenetic biomarkers based on the identification of high stable microRNAs will be identified by qRT-PCR in GCF as feasible tools for diagnosis and monitoring of wide range of disease, including periodontal disease.
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.
