Filter by:Background; A new mouth rinse formulation ("Lacer Oros Acción Integral", Lacer SA, Barcelona, Spain) has been recently proposed, including O-Cymen-5-ol, potassium nitrate, zinc chloride, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, sodium fluoride, panthenol and xylitol, within its ingredients. Thus, it may be relevant to test the efficacy of this new "Lacer Oros Acción Integral" mouth rinse formulation in a RCT. Primary Objective: The primary objective of this RCT will be to evaluate the antiplaque/antigingivitis effects of the test mouth rinse. Population: Consecutive subjects in supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) will be screened at the Post-Graduate Periodontal Clinic in the University Complutense, Madrid, and enrolled in the clinical trial if they are periodontitis patients, already enrolled in a SPT, for at least 6 months, systemically healthy, with moderate gingival inflammation and complains of dentin hypersensitivity. Study design: pilot, parallel, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 12-week, clinical trial Intervention: The experimental group will use three times daily a provided manual toothbrush with a sodium fluoride dentifrice, followed by the use of the test mouth rinse (Lacer Oros Acción Integral - new formula, Barcelona, Spain). The control group will use three times daily a provided manual toothbrush with a sodium fluoride dentifrice, followed by the use of the control mouth rinse (Lacer Oros Acción Integral - new formula, without active ingredients, Barcelona, Spain). Visits: Screening, baseline, 2 and 12 weeks. Outcomes: Periodontal clinical outcomes (plaque levels, gingival condition, probing pocket depth), Stainign, Microbiological outcomes (culture and qPCR). Patient reported outcomes, compliance, adverse effects.
NLRC4, an inflammasome , is a cytosolic multiprotein complex involved in the initiation and modulation of the immune response. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can start with localized inflammatory reactions created by the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth against microorganisms and then result in loss of teeth. It has been said that proinflammatory cytokines released in the microenvironment of periodontitis can increase the expression of NLRC4 inflammasome genes. The authors think that NLRC4 may play a role in the periodontitis. The aim of this study is to compare the NLRC4, IL-1β and IL-10 levels of healthy and periodontitis individuals.
The clinical cross over study involves the use of two herbal based dentifirices moringa and miswak and its efficacy in reducing plaque induced gingivitis. The patients selected are provided with details regarding the research format and consent taken.
The study is designed to evaluate the clinical changes in gingival health by measuring the reduction of gingival bleeding and inflammation over 4 weeks. Additionally, plaque removal will be evaluated after a single use (part 1) and over 4 weeks (part 2).
Present work was to investigate the possible efficacy of 0.2% cuminum cyminum herbal preparation as an antiplaque and antigingivitis agent when compared with chlorhexidine.
Oil pulling" or "oil swishing" originates from ancient Ayurvedic medicine in India and now practiced in other parts of the world as a form of complementary and alternative medicine. It has been described as Kavalagraha or Gandhoosha in the ayurvedic texts of Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. It is a procedure that involves swishing oil in the mouth a period of 15 min, before spitting it out. In addition to its systemic benefits, oil pulling therapy has also benefits on oral health. The oil pulling therapy can be performed by using edible oils like sesame oil, sunflower oil and coconut oil. However, there is only one study in the literature comparing the effect of oil pulling therapy using coconut oil versus sesame oil on plaque-induced gingivitis and the results were in favor of coconut oil. In order to clarify the gap in the literature on this field, this study was designed to compare the plaque-inhibiting effects of oil pulling therapy with sesame oil or coconut oil using 4- day plaque regrowth study model.
The aim of this study is to develop a daily use toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate, sodium hyaluronate and sodium fluoride with the intention of providing improved/ fast gum healing. This Proof-of-Principle study will investigate the efficacy of an experimental dentifrice compared to a regular fluoride dentifrice, and also whether this provides any additional benefit in reducing gingival inflammation/ bleeding compared with a 67% w/w sodium bicarbonate/ 0.221% w/w sodium fluoride containing toothpaste.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of 5 mouthwashes, based on different ingredients, in the treatment of generalised gingivitis.
Myrrh-based mouthwash has the potential to be a suitable alternative to the gold standard chlorhexidine mouthwash for dental plaque and gingivitis reduction. To date, however, little research has been carried out to determine its true clinical significance on periodontal health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 1% myrrh mouthwash with commercially available 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash in terms of plaque and gingivitis reduction and inflammatory mediator (interleukin-1β) inhibition.
Periodontal diseases are chronic diseases that occur as a result of a violation of the balance between microbial dental plaque and the host response. Gingivitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the gingiva that occurs in one or more areas without loss of attachments.1 in periodontitis, an inflammatory event that begins in the gingiva along with gingivitis spreads to the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and soft tissues that support the tooth, causing the destruction of these structures.2 Cytokines are low molecular weight proteins that participate in the initial and active stages of inflammation and immunity. In periodontal disease pathogenesis, cytokine response has been reported to play a very critical role in determining disease progression.3 IL-1beta and IL-6 are key cytokines in chronic inflammatory diseases and have the potential to initiate bone loss and tissue destruction seen in periodontal disease.4the purpose of this study; it is to determine the degree of inflammation and periodontal destruction by determining the levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid of periodontal healthy and diseased individuals.
