Filter by:There is a significant and growing interest in nutrition and health in the general population and there is also, paradoxically, an increasing problem with obesity and general debilitating conditions of affluence, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Igelösa Life Science AB has developed a modified Okinawan-based Nordic Diet (OBND) diet based on evidence primarily from the diet of the long-lived and healthy Okinawa population. The diet includes fish and whole grains, with a high level of vegetables, but is low in fat. In 2016, a clinical nutrition study was carried out at Kristianstad University with the intention to determine if the OBND resulted in reductions/changes in clinical and medical markers of importance for treatment of diabetes mellitus and gingivitis/periodontitis. The diet had a positive impact on the clinical progress of otherwise debilitating conditions such as diabetes and the health benefits on clinical parameters was extremely rapid, that is, within two weeks. Not only did the patients with type 2 diabetes receive the OBND, their partners were also offered the same option. This is a key innovation and the participants stated that it was a great support, which facilitated adherence and promotes the long-term impact on health. Ingrained habits such as poor diet, can only be defeated by a concerted team effort and our work to date provides a glimpse of the potential benefits to Sweden and the rest of the developed world through this shared approach. Initial studies have shown promising effects of the OBND on both diabetes and periodontal conditions. The objective of this study is to compare the OBND to the current recommended standard diet. Assuming the study provides positive evidence of health impact due to improved food quality, it will also be seen that the production and delivery of such 'healthy-living' meals will be of commercial interest for industry. The mission is to offer an evidence-based natural food alternative that both prevents disease and improves the health status of individuals with diabetes. The long-term goal is to design efficient and effective products that will protect against diabetes and other chronic diseases. The combination of scientific credibility and commercial interests may be a key factor to transfer the new knowledge about healthy dieting into actual improvements in public health.
Oral health is an important component of general health and oral cavity acts as a mirror to the health of individuals and communities. Inadequate focus on primary prevention of oral diseases, poses a sizeable challenge for numerous countries, especially low and middle income countries. Mobile phone technology is relatively new and its successes in chronic disease is well documented but there is little evidence available in its use for improving oral health and dietary habits of children. This will be a Pilot Randomized Control Trial (RCT) . It will be conducted in public and private sector schools of Quetta city, Pakistan. Study will comprise of intervention and a control arm. Duration of intervention is 6 months. In the intervention group, study participants will be the parents. School teachers will send oral health education and reminder messages on frequent intervals to educate children's parents on oral hygiene and reinforce their behaviors to improve their child oral health. The primary school children in the control group will not receive any intervention
In this three-month interventional clinical trial for the treatment of gingivitis the investigators will assess the use of an oscillating-rotating powered toothbrush in comparison to the use of a manual toothbrush over 12-weeks in the absence of interproximal hygiene.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of 0.1% octenidine mouthwash (Octenidin Mundspüllösung, OML) to placebo (PLAC) in the inhibition of plaque formation. The study will consist of a 14-day screening period and a 5-day treatment period.
Background: The purpose of the present study is to research whether stress scale scores alter with relationship to gingival inflammation and examine the impact of non-surgical periodontal therapy during pregnancy on the levels of cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and on salivary stress-related hormones. Methods: 30 non-pregnant (control group) and 30 pregnant women (test group) who fulfilled the study inclusion criteria were chosen. The participants with moderate/severe gingivitis were included. Clinical data and samples of GCF and salivary were collected at baseline and after periodontal therapy. The levels of cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-10, and concentration of salivary chromogranin A (Cg A) hormone were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.
During orthodontic treatment intraoral corrosion results with release of nickel and titanium ions from orthodontic appliances in surrounding tissues. Those transported in the saliva and blood may cause a series of side effects from hypersensitivity reactions and soft tissue proliferation to cyto and genotoxicity. Nickel is one of the strongest contact allergens, present in numerous dental alloys. The aim of this project is to investigate the immune potential of nickel and titan ions (development of allergies, changes in cariogenic potential of dental plaque, resistance of gingivitis to therapy, and bacterial resistance to antibiotics) and changes in performance of orthodontic appliances with repercussion on regeneration of bone and periodontal tissues.
This study evaluates the addition of a mouth rinse containing sea salt, xylitol and lysozyme to standardized oral health practices on biofilm formation and gingival health in a group of young adults.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of 0.1% octenidine mouthwash (Octenidin Mundspüllösung, OML) to placebo (PLAC) in the inhibition of plaque formation. The study will consist of a 14-day screening period and a 5-day treatment period.
The objective of the study will be to demonstrate the effects of two active lactobacilli (A/B) and determine whether there are any changes in plaque accumulation, gingival health, immunological and microbial markers compared to a placebo (P) over a 2-week period of refraining from normal oral hygiene practice. This is a single centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel group study (3-Arm) of healthy subjects aged 18-30 years designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of two active lactobacilli using the experimental gingivitis Model: A proof of principle study on plaque, gingival status, immunological and microbial markers compared to placebo.
Plaque accumulation on tooth and gingival surfaces is a causative factor for oral diseases such as demineralization, dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Tooth brushing and flossing have been the cornerstone of oral hygiene and health. However, the high incidence and prevalence of gum problems in both the developed and developing world show these mechanical routines are not enough. Furthermore, many patients find it difficult to comply with this daily regime of brushing and flossing. Consistent with problems associated with maintaining oral health, periodontal disease is one of the most common chronic infections in adults. According to Philstrom, et al. up to 90% of the world's population has or will suffer from periodontal disease.Thus, the maintenance of an adequate level of plaque control by the individual through his or her daily oral hygiene is vital to prevent and control periodontal disease. Studies demonstrate that poor oral hygiene is widespread with about 60% of plaque found on the surfaces of the teeth after brushing. This may be due to the lack of manipulative skills, lack of motivation and compliance.Hence, increasing education and improving brushing technique by improving oral hygiene products is one way to enhance plaque removal in everyday brushing. The ability to see plaque while brushing will enhance patient's awareness and encourage them to be more thorough when performing oral hygiene.
