Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility i. e. to examine all aspects necessary for the implementation of a future randomized clinical trial that aims to determine whether non-surgical periodontal treatment can be improved by concomitant intake of vitamin D.
Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent inflammatory diseases. These diseases are mostly due to the development and the maturation of bacterial plaque which lead to local inflammation. Individuals can develop severe attachment loss which could lead to dental loss. To prevent them, individual plaque removal procedures self-performed by the patient by tooth brushing or interdental brushes or made by professional care (scaling), are known to improve periodontal health, and thus to prevent periodontal diseases. Moreover, oral hygiene is a major factor to increase increasing the outcomes when treatments are needed. However, patients' compliance in oral health program is one of the major limits to periodontal therapeutics. In this study, the investigators evaluate the effectiveness of 3D intra-oral camera compared with conventional oral hygiene instructions, to improve oral health motivation.
This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of COMORAL®, the intraoral water-spraying cleaning device that is developed to remove plaque around teeth in the oral cavity. To do so, 42 healthy subjects, 21 control and 21 experimental, will be recruited. To establish the baseline, all subjects will receive dental hygiene service. After 2 weeks, patients will be randomly assigned to either control or intervention group (21 individuals each). Both groups will be asked to brush their teeth once a day but without dental floss, mouth rinse, and gum chewing, throughout the 4 weeks of study period. During the study period, the experimental group will receive COMORAL® treatment three times a day every day for 4 weeks except Saturday and Sunday. Subjects will get evaluated for the oral status(PI, BOP, GI, PD, GR, CAL) and the status of periopathogens on visit 1, visit 2 and visit 3.
PCOS is a widely reported condition among young female population and anti-androgen agents are increasingly being used as part of the medical management of such cases. However, Clinical studies have reported higher prevalence of gingival inflammation, loss of attachment and gingival enlargement in women taking hormone based oral contraceptives. Additionally, CPA has been reported to have an osteoclastic action. Therefore, it is necessary to explore whether these medications affect the periodontal condition of PCOS patients, who already are pre-disposed to systemic inflammation. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the periodontal status of female patients diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary syndrome on Cyproterone acetate/ethinyl estradiol combination regimen.
Recent studies have shown that while mouthwashes exhibit antimicrobial properties against bacteria and their products, at the same time showing the cytotoxic effect on living cells in the mouth.29 To the best of our knowledge, there is no information about the toxicity effect of these two mouthwashes, which are highly preferred, on antimicrobial peptides secreted from the oral epithelium. Therefore, our aim in this study is to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine and essential oil mouthwash on hBD2 and LL-37 in saliva.
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.
Although the well-known detrimental effects of conventional cigarette smoking on oral health, there are still lack of evidences about the impact of less harmful alternatives (such as electronic cigarettes or heat not burn products), especially in young smokers with clinical absence of signs of moderate to severe periodontitis. This study aims to investigate whether cigarette smokers who switch to combustion-free nicotine delivery systems (C-F NDS) undergo measurable improvements in oral health parameters and teeth appearance, comparing short- and long-term impact on periodontal health between smokers continuing with conventional cigarette smoking, those switching to combustion-free nicotine delivery systems (C-F NDS), and never-smokers. The investigator propose a prospective, multicenter, interventional, open label, randomized, controlled, three parallel-arms study assessing oral health parameters and teeth appearance of 18 months duration.
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.
Treated hypertensive patients with any form of periodontal diseases will be randomized to either supragingival dental plaque removal using electric toothbrushes at home or intensive professional oral hygiene treatment and the effects on blood pressure will be identified.
INTRODUCTION Orthodontic treatment objectives are achieved through the movement of teeth with the application of an external physical force. It takes around 2 to 3 years to finish the treatment.The most common complications associated with orthodontic treatment are 1. Pain 2. Prolonged duration 3. Gingival and Periodontal complications So orthodontists, clinicians and researchers are always looking for some non-invasive and reliable techniques to minimize the possibility of occurrence of these complications. General objective The prime aim of this research is to study the effect of LLLT on tooth movement,pain, gingival and periodontal complications associated with tooth movement in initial phase of orthodontic treatment. Design of study This will be an experimental; case controlled study utilizing Low Level Laser Therapy in arch form of application.Anterior teeth segment of the maxillary jaw will be treated with LLLT in one group and other group of patients considered as control. Study population and samples This research will be conducted among Pakistani subjects who will be going for fix orthodontic treatment. Research subjects will be gathered from Aga Khan Hospital for Women Karimabad A secondary hospital of Aga Khan University Hospital of Karachi Pakistan. The duration of the study will be six months in which each patient will avail their regular follow up orthodontic treatment visits at every three weeks LLLT will be applied at every visit i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6th visits on anterior segment of the maxillary jaw in one group of patients, while the other group of patients will be controlled. The clinical parameters gingival index (GI), Bleeding on Probing (BOP), Probing Depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) for the research will be recorded at 0, first, third and sixth visit. Study models to determine tooth movement will be taken in all visits from 0 to 6th visit. A Per forma to record the level of pain has been designed which will be given to all the patients at 0 to sixth all visits to record the pain intensity. Data will be recorded simultaneously. Sample frame The sample frame of patient recruitment for this research will be consisting of patients who will sign consent for this research and fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sample size will be comprised of 88 pre-orthodontic patients, with an age range of 18 to 30 years. Sample size calculation Sample size will be determined by using PS software (version 3.1.2). To avoid individual variations, the patients will be divided into two groups randomly, using computer generated random numbers. Microsoft Excel 2013 will be used for group randomization. Group A and B will comprise of 36 patients (18 males and 18 females in each group) respectively and only Group A will receive LLLT on anterior segment of the maxillary jaw. However 20% drop out is considered which makes the sample size of 44 in each group at the beginning of study. Research tool The duration of the study will be 6 months in which each patient will visit on their regular follow up orthodontic treatment visits at every 3 weeks. LLLT will be applied at every visit i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months in patients of Group A. The clinical parameters Gingival Index, Bleeding on Probing (BOP), Probing Depth (PD) and Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) for the research will be as recorded at 0, first, third and sixth visit of all patients of both groups. Conclusion The benefits of adopting LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) in an arch form in a routine orthodontic practice may enhance the rate of tooth movement, may be helpful to control orthodontic treatment related complications like pain, gingivitis and periodontitis with comfort and without disturbing patient regular recall visits.
