Filter by:This study is to evaluate the sensitivity of the molecular method and its ability to split a stannous fluoride toothpaste versus a negative control.
The purpose of this double blind study is to prove whether a fluoride containing toothpaste is able to reduce dental plaque and gingival inflammation in patients who have gingivitis when applied twice daily during brushing at home over a period of 12 weeks.
Periodontal Disease is a ubiquitous in nature affecting about 80% population of India. The Periodontal Disease is a multifactorial but the dental plaque is considered as main etiological agent.The dental plaque, a adhesive bacterial coating accumulate around and in between teeth, if not removed by effective daily brushing and flossing, plaque can cause Gum infection and tooth loss. Though, many scientific periodontal procedures are available to get the treatment but because of lack of man power and poor socioeconomic condition it is not possible for every group of population in our India.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of probiotic yoghurt on the development of gingival inflammation. Fifty-one periodontally healthy individuals were given standard oral hygiene instructions and randomly divided into two groups. The test group subjects (n=26) consumed probiotic yoghurt containing Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis and the control subjects (n=25) natural yoghurt for 28 days. Following yoghurt consumption, mechanical plaque control was interrupted for the next 5 days in both groups. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples and clinical data (consisted of plaque and gingival indices, probing depth, bleeding on probing) were collected at baseline, after 28 and 33 days. Interleukin-1β levels were determined in GCF by ELISA.
The study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of Black Tea in reducing the deposits on teeth. It also compares the effect between use of black tea mouthwash and green tea mouthwash to that of chlorhexidine in reducing plaque deposition on teeth in a two weeks long clinical trial among adults of 18-40 years of age.
This study will evaluate the sensitivity of an assay and its ability to split a marketed stannous fluoride toothpaste versus a negative control.
The purpose of the investigators' study is to assess effectiveness of community based oral health literacy intervention promoting positive oral hygiene self-care behavior among Montreal's Punjabi immigrants.
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness on tissue response of the new nutritional supplement made of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) in induced gingivitis after 21 days of use. Material and Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled prospective clinical trial was carried out on 20 patients divided into an experimental group treated with the OPCs pill and a control group treated with placebo, after fulfilling the selection criteria. Patients had to come 4 times during the study to register the Silness and Loe and Gingival Bleeding index, plaque index, inflammatory crevicular fluid study (IL6) and changes in brightness of the gingiva. No complementary hygiene methods were allowed during the 21 days.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of obesity on periodontally healthy or diseased tissues.Normal weight and obese subjects were analyzed in 6 groups. Clinical periodontal status was determined through plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, pocket probing depth, clinical attacment level and radiographs. Oxidative stress is known to contribute to various diseases by affecting cellular functions through the oxidation of proteins, lipids and DNA. Oxidative stress can be assessed by measuring the products of oxidative damage found in proteins, lipids and DNA or reductions in total antioxidant capacity Malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl and total antioxidant capacity levels are biomarkers of oxidative stress in gingival crevicular fluid.
This study will test an intervention designed to change oral health norms and reduce disparities in oral health among vulnerable adults residing in publicly funded senior housing in Central Connecticut. The intervention model is based on Fishbein modified theory of reasoned action operationalized through Adapted Motivational Interviewing and Practice to Mastery. The intervention includes two components: 1) a face to face administration of the Adapted Motivational Interviewing and Practice to Mastery, a participatory counseling model, and 2) a targeted building level campaign consisting of three half-day oral health events with skills development through practice to mastery to parallel the individual intervention, all based on the study's conceptual model. The study uses a modified fractional factorial design to evaluate the face to face and campaign components separately and in different additive sequences. Six buildings will be paired in three dyads. The buildings in each dyad will be randomized to either having the Adapted Motivational Interviewing and Practice to Mastery intervention first followed by campaigns or to having the campaigns first followed by Adapted Motivational Interviewing and Practice to Mastery. Seventy-five residents will be recruited in each building for a total of 450 participants. There will be four assessments: 1. T0 will include a survey, oral hygiene skills assessment and clinical assessment of the Gingival Index and Plaque Score. The survey will provide data on the conceptual domains that are the target of the tailored intervention 2. T1 will follow the AMI-PM or CA+PM (depending on condition) and will include the survey, oral hygiene skills assessment and clinical assessment of the Gingival Index and Plaque Score. This assessment will occur 1-2 months after the initial intervention 3. T2 will follow the AMI-PM or CA+PM and will include the survey, oral hygiene skills assessment and clinical assessment of the Gingival Index and Plaque Score. This assessment will occur 6 months after the initial intervention 4. T3 will include oral hygiene skills assessment and clinical assessment of the Gingival Index and Plaque Score. This will occur 15-18 months after study entry. We will use general linear mixed models (GLMM) or general estimating equations (GEE), respectively, to fit a model with intervention and period effects using the MIXED procedure in SAS.
