Filter by:This study evaluates the addition of an interdental cleaning device paired with a manual toothbrush compared to using a manual toothbrush only. Plaque removal, reduction of gingival bleeding and reduction of gingival inflammation.
we hypothesized that hyperlipidemia as an unfavourable levels of lipoprotein subfractions have deleterious impact on the development of periodontal infection by altering oxidative stres status of periodontal tissues. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate i) effect of hyperlipidemia on oxidative change in GCF content, ie. MDA, PC and TAOC levels, in patients with different periodontal status,
This study is designed to evaluate the impact of the regular consumption of probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri-containing lozenges over a period of 42 days on parameters of oral and general health in crew members of a naval ship at sea.
This will be a single-center, 12 week, examiner-blind, randomized, stratified (gender and baseline mean whole mouth MGI score), two-treatment, parallel group, clinical study in healthy adult volunteers with moderate gingivitis. This study will evaluate the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 0.454% weight by weight (w/w) stannous fluoride to control gingivitis and gingival bleeding following 12 weeks twice daily brushing, compared to a negative control dentifrice.
Evaluate the effects of using an intra-oral camera (IOC) during supportive periodontal therapy (SPT), on the psychological, behavioral and clinical parameters of patients with gingivitis, outlined by evidence and a theory-based framework.
The aim of this study is to provide evidence on the clinical efficacy of SmartMouth Advanced Clinical Formula mouthrinse in comparison to the efficacy of 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthrinse and a placebo mouthrinse. The placebo will be provided by the sponsor and will be identical to SmartMouth ACF (Advanced Clinical Formula), except it will not contain cetylpyridinium chloride, zinc chloride and sodium chlorite. The primary outcomes include measures of plaque and gingivitis. Secondary outcomes include evaluation of tooth discoloration, taste perception, malodor and calculus.
This study evaluates if electric toothbrushes with a 3D action (rotation / oscillation and pulsation) are more effective than manual toothbrushes in removing plaque and reducing gingival inflammation in patients under orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.
Today's increase of dentate elderly, many of them dependent, is a challenge, both according to the personal daily oral hygiene and dentistry. This is not only an oral problem, as research findings point to strong associations between oral and general health, even mortality. These findings are especially noticeable in elderly and frail individuals. Dental care is usually performed in stationary dental clinics where the patients are transported to receive treatment. Dependent elderly dental patients may present many obstacles to traditional dental care due to cognitive limitations or dementia, mobility or transport problems. An alternative is domiciliary dental care where the dental staff performs the treatment by a home visit, in the patients daily living environment. The ability to handle personal oral hygiene is often decreased in these patients and left to overburdened nursing staff that often also lack sufficient knowledge about oral health care, why prophylactic professional oral care is especially important. This type of care can with rather simple equipments be performed as domiciliary treatment of good quality, while more advanced dental care may present restrictions in the home environment. However, in the Swedish dental system with subsidized dental care for dependent and elderly patients, there are restrictions for the number of prophylactic oral care treatments. The levels vary in different counties and regions. The rationale for this is probably tradition and economy as scientific evidence is lacking. The aim with this project is to develop domiciliary professional oral care. The researchers will compare the effect of different regimens for domiciliary prophylactic professional oral care both according to content and frequency. The overall aim is to establish relevant recommendations for domiciliary prophylactic professional oral care.
The main goals of this pilot study are to develop a nursing home-customized oral hygiene protocol, intended to be delivered primarily by dental hygienists and primary care providers, and to identify potential obstacles and barriers to overcome in designing a subsequent definitive study on the same topic.
In the present randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial, we investigated the short term clinical efficacy of a dentifrice containing Eugenia uniflora L. ripe fruit extract in preventing gingivitis in children.
