Filter by:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as an adjuvant of scaling and root planning for treatment of periodontal disease in patients with Down's Syndrome. After scaling and root planning, half of patients received antimicrobial photodynamic therapy with methylene blue dye and laser and the sessions were repeated after 3, 7 and 14 days. The other half received only scaling and root planning.
Diabetes Mellitus is a risk factor for periodontal disease increasing its prevalence, extension and severity. Periodontal disease is considered the sixth complication of diabetes. There is a global epidemic of diabetes, including an increase of incidence of type 1 diabetes in younger patients. Thus, the aim of this observational study was to evaluate the periodontal and salivary condition of a sample of patients with type 1 diabetes of a brazillian city.
The aim of the present study was to study if there are interactions and reduced clinical effect between chlorhexidine and fluoride when they are combined in the same mouthrinse.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel gum health formulation, when used in an intra-oral device or on a toothbrush, for teeth whitening and clinical improvements in periodontal diseases.
This study evaluated the periodontal condition of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients and a healthy non-pregnant control group. For the GDM group all medical data were recorded, including obesity/insulin resistance indicators.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential risk of abusive behavior for children in care using nitrous oxide for dental care.
This study investigates the levels of advanced oxidation protein product and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in gingival crevicular fluid in periodontal disease and health. 25 participants with chronic periodontitis, 25 participants with gingivitis and 25 periodontally healthy subjects are included into this study. In each participant, four sites are identified for gingival crevicular fluid samples.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy plus doxycycline on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) patients who have periodontitis. Materials and methods: A total of 24 type 2 DM patients with periodontitis will be selected for the study, and randomly divided into two equal groups,who are at least 35 years of age and 16 teeth and type II diabetes are (at least the last 3 months of diagnosis of diabetes and its FBS More than 110 have), and also with periodontal disease are chronic moderate (at least in three areas Attachment level to a depth of 3-4 mm maxillary or mandibular been confirmed by clinical examination and radiographic signs are being); Takes place. The initial HbA1c Patients should be between 7-9 percent over the past three months has changed his medication also found the necessary explanations on how to do that consent, Plaque index (PI) by Loe & Silness, bleeding on probing (BOP) based on Carter and Barnes (if any bleeding number 1 and its absence is 0), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) were recorded. "Group 1": (12 patients) was treated with oral hygiene instruction, Scaling, and root planing, and doxycycline for 15 days; and "Group 2": (12 patients) has the same treatment but with placebo, After 12 weeks their periodontal condition and Fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, will be reevaluated.
This study evaluates the adjunctive use of Centella Asiatica (gotukola) to scaling in the reduction of plaque and gingival inflammation. Patients were divided into three groups of which group 1 received scaling and gotukola mouthwash, group 2 received scaling only and group 3 received gotukola mouthwash only.
The aim of present study is to investigate any relationship between hyperlipidemia and periodontal disease regarding the periodontal parameters and plasma lipid parameters, along with age, gender, brushing habit, body mass index, dietary habit, physical activity, alcohol consumption. In this cross sectional study, a total of 160 individuals were divided into two groups based on their metabolic status: hyperlipidemic group (n=97) and normolipidemic group (n=63). Plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) clinical parameters and community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) scores were measured. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels had been determined previously during individuals routine systemic examinations. Daily brushing habits and interdental cleaning together with dietary habits, alcohol consumption and physical activity levels were also recorded.
