Filter by:Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances can be necessary to correct malocclusions in adolescence or adulthood. It its known that orthodontic treatment induces aseptic pseudo-inflammatory reactions. However, studies could show that an increase of certain inflammatory cytokines during orthodontic treatment correlated with a higher risk of root resorption. Moreover, it has been shown that orthodontic treatment leads to a dysbiosis of the oral microbiome especially during the first 3 months of the orthodontic treatment. This could be a potential risk factor as the inflammation of periodontitis during an orthodontic treatment could favor root resorption and progressive destruction of the periodontal apparatus. Probiotics are already used successfully as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of periodontitis to improve clinical parameters and to reduce local inflammation. However, there are only a few studies that investigated the influence of probiotics during an orthodontic treatment. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate if the daily intake of lozenges containing probiotics versus placebo lozenges during the first 3 months of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances can improve clinical parameters, reduce local inflammation and prevent a dysbiosis of the oral microbiome.
This study aims to determine Oncostatin M (OSM), Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and Interleukin-11 (IL-11) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva, and serum in periodontally healthy individuals and those with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis before and after periodontal treatment and to evaluate the relationship between these cytokine levels and clinical periodontal parameters.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the home-use device ToothWave (Model H7001) for calculus reduction and the prevention of calculus accumulation.
Professional oral hygiene has become a customary procedure in everyday dentistry. Both manual and sonic brushes are part of normal oral hygiene education practice. Compared with manual toothbrushes, ergonomic instruments, such as sonic toothbrushes, can be a more practical and less demanding mean to remove biofilm and plaque efficiently. Studies in literature investigate the efficacy of toothbrushes in plaque removal, but the investiagator's study would validate efficacy of toothbrushes post-causal therapy, towards lower plaque accumulation, and reduction in bleeding. The objective of this study is to compare two methods (manual VS sonic) of tooth brushing in terms of impact on the gingival index and plaque index after one session of Full Mouth-Erythritol Powder Air Polishing Therapy (FM-EPAPT) in healthy patients. The hypothesis of the present randomized controlled trial is that sonic tooth brushing accumulates less plaque (-10%) than manual tooth brushing. To test this hypothesis, the patients, upon initial evaluation, will be divided in 2 study groups and, after a session of professional oral hygiene, will be instructed to use: - CONTROL: manual toothbrush - TEST: sonic toothbrush. Gingival index and plaque score will be evaluated at 2, 4, 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months.
This investigation will study the effect of green tea mouthwash as an adjunctive therapy to mechanical treatment on gingival health, and whether it has any side effects. This study also aims at increasing the awareness among health professionals and the community regarding the benefits of natural herbal products such as green tea on oral health, opposed to common chemical products. This may provide an efficient alternative for people who are sensitive to certain chemical products or who have limited sources of income and cannot afford expensive treatment of dental problems.
Traditional methods for plaque and calculus removal involve the use of mechanical and/or manual instruments, followed by surface polishing with rubber cups and low abrasive pastes. These instruments may cause the unintended removal of hard dental tissue, such as enamel, cementum and dentine, increasing surface roughness. Moreover, they can lead to gingival recession and consequent hypersensitivity and discomfort during treatment. New minimally-invasive approaches to biofilm removal have been recently introduced with the aim to limit the negative impact on the oral tissue. Air-polishing with low-abrasiveness powders are proven suitable for both for supra- and sub-gingival plaque removal. The use of low-abrasiveness powders could lead to several advantages, such as reduction of treatment discomfort, shorter treatment time, the possibility of cleaning areas with difficult access and minor damage on soft and hard tissues. Aim: the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Full Mouth Erithrytol Powder Air-Polishing Therapy compared to traditional ultrasonic debridment (UD) and polishing in patient affected by gingivitis. Test hypotesis: there is no difference in clinical outcome between two methods against the hypothesis of a difference in terms of changes in Blending on Probing (BOP). To test this hypothesis, the patients, upon initial evaluation, were treated in split mouth: - The control group undergoing the standard procedure with full-mouth ultrasonic debridement and polishing with rubber cup and abrasive paste. - The study group undergoing an innovative procedure involving full-mouth air-polishing followed by ultrasonic calculus removal. Follow-ups are scheduled at 2 weeks and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
A clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a mouthwash containing Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycine in the prevention and management of complications associated gingivitis by film forming action.
Metrnl has proven to be an inflammatory-related immunoregulatory cytokine and shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of human inflammatory diseases. Metrnl is highly expressed from the oral mucosa to the esophagus. 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. The authors think that Metrnl may play a role in the periodontitis. The aim of this study is to compare the Metrnl, IL-1β, and IL-10 levels of healthy and periodontitis individuals.
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the concentrations of Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin 3A levels in gingival crevicular fluid in subjects with different periodontal diseases. At the same time for the periodontitis group; the purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation of these proteins with clinical parameters at the first and third months after the nonsurgical periodontal treatment.
Forty-five adult male patients with generalized gingivitis participated in the double blinded randomized controlled parallel study divided into three groups, two mouth rinses and distilled water( negative control) used during seven days periods as adjunctive to regular mechanical oral hygiene, one group received super oxidized water mouth rinses(microsafe®) three times daily and the second group received Alcohol-free chlorhexidine 0.12% solution(kin gingival®) twice dialy and the third group received distilled water (negative control). The first visit included PLI measurement after that we removed the supra gingival plaque by cotton roll to avoid contamination with the periopaper strip during GCF collection, then GCF collected from targeted sites(upper incisors, labial side) after that the other clinical periodontal parameters ( GI and BOP) were measured and then scaling was done after sample collection because of gingival bleeding which occur during scaling then inform the patient to use the coded bottle which gave to the participant by the assistant not involve in the study so the researcher did not know the type of mouthwash that was given to the participant( CHX twice daily while SOW three times daily) .The mouthwashes was given for one week with routine mechanical dental home care(brushing and flossing).The codded bottle was gave randomly by a decision on that day for example on Sunday we gave all the participants code 1 and on other days we gave to other participants code 2 or code 3. In the second visit the PLI was measured first , then the sample was collected from the same teeth after that the other periodontal parameters were collected again ( GI and BOP).
