Filter by:The number of CF adults is increasing year after year (61.7% in 2021) confirming that patients are living longer. These data do not leave aside the desire to see CF patients "age well" considering of all the comorbidities linked to aging. Among these comorbidities, the oral repercussions of cystic fibrosis and its treatments remain to this day little investigated. We know, however, that oral health, and periodontal health, is closely linked to general health. Indeed, the oral cavity presents one of the richest microbiota in the body, made up of bacteria, viruses, yeasts and archae organized into a biofilm at the interface of periodontal tissues. Periodontal diseases are partly linked to an imbalance in and loss of diversity within the commensal periodontal flora, aggravated by risk factors such as diabetes, which affects many CF adults. Early detection and treatment of periodontal diseases are therefore of primary interest in patients at increased risk of respiratory infections such as CF patients. This transversal research project aims to study the oral repercussions, notably periodontal disease prevalence in cystic fibrosis (CF) adult patients. Thus, this program will allow, on the one hand, the acquisition of clinical and biological data on periodontal and/or dental pathologies from which adult CF patients may suffer. These data will be accessible through an oral and periodontal clinical examination that will allow the identification of diagnostic clues. The quality of life related to oral health will also be investigated using a self-administered questionnaire. Clinical and biological data commonly recorded in the context of the medical follow-up of CF patients (ventilatory capacity, glycemic status, cytobacteriological examination of sputum, etc.) will also be taken into account in order to study any correlations with periodontal status. On the other hand, on a more fundamental level, this work aims to investigate the impact of CFTR protein dysfunction on the local immunity of the oral cavity and more particularly on the expression of antimicrobial peptides at the level of the periodontium. Thus this project is articulated around a strong axis which is "aging well" for adult CF patients thanks to the improvement of knowledge and ultimately the prevention of comorbidities linked to aging in CF adult patients and particularly those related to oral health.
Except for patients with referred clinical bruxism and uncontrolled medical conditions, the study included 123 implants with implanted fixed prostheses that had lasted at least six months after functional prosthetic loading. In all implant patients, the health scale ranged from implants and natural teeth to plaque, gingival index, bleeding in the probe, mouth depth, loss of clinical attachment, and dental implants. The health and illness of the implants have been determined. Patients were divided into three groups: peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implant health. Inclusion Criteria: - Patients between the ages of 18- 70 - Drugs that have a systemically healthy and controlled treatment situation - Drivers who have implant-supported fixed prostheses that have been at least six months after functional prosthetic loading Among these groups, it was checked whether periodontitis was seen in patients with peri-implantitis, gingivitis in patients with peri-implant mucositis, and whether healthy gums were seen in individuals with peri-implant health. To determine the health and disease status of individuals' implants, plaque index (Silness Loe 1964), gingival index (Loe Silness 1963), bleeding on probing (Ainoma Bay 1975), pocket depth measurements, and clinical attachment level were collected.
The goal of this 30 day, randomized, two group, parallel, examiner-blind clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AutoBrush® 360° U-shaped Sonic Toothbrush on supragingival dental plaque and gingivitis, compared to an American Dental Association (ADA) reference manual soft toothbrush. The extent of gingival abrasion and recession and oral safety will be evaluated.
The study is a randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of a dual light ultrasonic toothbrush on periodontal health in orthodontic patients undergoing surgery. Patients with cleft lip and palate undergo bone graft and orthognathic surgery. The study will compare the periodontal outcomes in patients who use these toothbrushes during the post-surgical period.
The objective of this 30 day, randomized, two group, parallel, examiner-blind clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of AutoBrush® 360° U-shaped Sonic Toothbrush on plaque and gingivitis, compared to an American Dental Association (ADA) reference manual soft toothbrush. The extent of gingival abrasion and recession and oral safety will be evaluated.
Activin-A belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a role in inflammation, immune response, tissue repair and regeneration. Proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) can increase Activin-A expression in various cell types. This study aims to evaluate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and salivary Activin-A and IL-β levels in stage III periodontitis. Seventy-five systemically healthy and non-smoker volunteers consisting of 23 stage III periodontitis, 26 gingivitis and 26 periodontally healthy were enrolled. Full-mouth clinical periodontal indices were recorded, unstimulated whole saliva and GCF samples were obtained, Activin-A and IL-1β total amounts were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical comparisons were performed using non-parametric tests.
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled two-arm, parallel group clinical trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the consumption of two herbal pralines containing 200 mg nitrate on clinical signs of gingival inflammation (Bleeding on probing) without an accompanied professional mechanical plaque removal.
Orthodontic treatment is an elective procedure to improve the patient's dentofacial appearance. The complex design of fixed appliances provides a platform that leads to increased plaque accumulation around orthodontic brackets. So, the risk to develop demineralization area adjacent to orthodontic brackets is a major barrier in achieving this goal. Oral hygiene is greatly complicated following the placement of fixed orthodontic Appliances. Molar tube in place are considered for nearly all patients experiencing fixed orthodontic therapy over the whole treatment period, which normally lasts 1.5 to 2 years. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the application and antimicrobial efficacy of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles coating on orthodontic molar tube material has not been integrated clinically. White spot lesions during orthodontic treatment have a documented etiology. Briefly, the accumulation of plaque and food around brackets, bands, wires, and other attachments caused decreased pH and increased S. mutans colonization, which led to the possibility of clinical demineralization. The aims of study are to assess the antimicrobial effect of nanoparticle coated stainless steel orthodontic molar tube material (OMT) with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in relative to uncoated orthodontic molar tube (UOMT) against the streptococcus. mutans& lactobacllius bacteria that cause white spot lesion around the fixed orthodontic appliance. .
The present study aimed to assess the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on serum and salivary IL-1beta, IL-18, NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1 levels in gingivitis and Stage III Grade C periodontitis. 15 periodontally healthy, 15 gingivitis and 15 Stage III Grade C periodontitis patients were enrolled. At baseline, serum and saliva samples were collected and the whole mouth clinical periodontal parameters were recorded. Periodontitis and gingivitis patients received non-surgical periodontal treatment. Clinical parameters were re-measured and samples were re-collected at 1 and 3 months after treatment. Serum and salivary protein levels were analyzed by ELISA. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
A double-blind, prospective, randomized, intra-individual comparative, single-center clinical study was conducted. Participants were placed in parallel groups, and the study was performed in the Department of Operative Dentistry and Periodontology, Dental School and Hospital, Minia university to compare the antibacterial activity of yarrow Moringa herbal combinations nanoparticles in compared to Chlorhexidine as a potential treatment for gingivitis.
