Filter by:It has been stated that microRNA (miRNA) play an important role in development, homeostasis and immune functions, and abnormal miRNA expression may cause faster disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine miR-203, miR-142-3p, miR-146a, miR-146b, miR-155, miR-29b gene expressions in saliva of the patients with periodontal disease before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) and to evaluate the effect of smoking on these miRNAs. A total of 90 individuals, 30 with periodontitis, 30 with gingivitis, and 30 periodontally healthy (control group), were included. These three groups were divided into subgroups as smoking and non-smoking individuals, with 15 people in each group. NSPT was applied to patients with periodontitis and gingivitis. Saliva samples and clinical parameters were taken from at baseline and repeated 6 weeks after NSPT.
In this clinical study, it was aimed to evaluate whether there is a decrease in patient anxiety by applying virtual reality glasses, which are the product of new technology, during scaling and root planing treatment. Patients who required scaling and root planing treatment and also scored 9 or above according to the Dental Anxiety Scale were included in our study. Scaling and root planing was performed in a randomly selected intraoral quadrant of the patients, in the same way, with or without the use of virtual reality glasses. In the virtual reality glasses application, a video consisting of images of nature landscapes developed for patient rehabilitation was projected onto the screen in front of the patient's eyes. The Dental Anxiety Scale was reapplied after the completion of the treatment. In the intraoral quadrant where virtual reality glasses were used, it is expected that lower Corah Dental Anxiety Scale scores may be obtained after the treatment is completed, compared to the intraoral quadrant where the treatment is performed without glasses, thus reducing anxiety.
Comparative study on the efficacy of two mouthwashes Containing Fatty Acids Compounds (F.A.G.) or Stannous Fluoride in the reduction of plaque score in individuals with spontaneous gengivitis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental mouth rinse formulations compared to a positive control mouth rinse and a hydroalcohol control mouth rinse for the reduction of gingivitis and plaque when used as an adjunct to tooth brushing during a six-week product usage period.
Bacterial plaque-induced gingivitis is considered the most common oral disease in dentate individuals and the most frequent type of periodontal disease. Manual brushing is the most widely used method for mechanical plaque self-control and, consequently, prevention and treatment of gingivitis. The effectiveness of brushing, however, is questionable in interproximal areas. Thus, interdental cleaning is recognized as an essential part of maintaining gingival health and the most recommended interdental device is dental floss. However, there is weak scientific evidence available about the recommendation for daily flossing. The objective of this randomized blinded trial is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of oral hygiene using soft toothbrush associated with dental floss versus soft toothbrush in maintaining the gingival condition in adults without loss of insertion. Seventy-six subjects with generalized gingivitis at proximal sites will be randomized into two experimental groups according to the use of dental floss: Manual toothbrushing group without the use of dental floss (without dental floss) and Group dental toothbrushing and dental flossing (dental floss). During a period of 8 weeks, the efficacy of the use of the toothbrush associated with the use of the dental floss will be evaluated. After this period, the baseline of the effectiveness study begins. After this period, the baseline of the effectiveness study begins. Participants will be followed up for another 12 months to evaluate the effectiveness of flossing. The parameters Index of Gingival Bleeding (GB) and Plaque Index (PI) will be evaluated at the baseline, 60, 120, 240 and 360 days. Descriptive analysis of GB and PI data will be performed using means, standard deviations and mean percentage of sites with different GB and PI scores. The differences in the means of GB and PI over time between groups and within the same group will be analyzed using the Poisson Multilevel Regression model. The main outcome will be the maintenance of the gingival condition. The difference in interventions will be compared using the chi-square test with significance level of 5%. Adults with less than 15% of sites with gingival bleeding will be considered healthy.
The primary objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate the efficacy of an Oral Irrigator in the reduction of gingivitis compared to a negative control over a 3 week period by using the Modified Gingival Index and the Gingival Bleeding Index. The secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of an Oral Irrigator in the reduction of plaque compared to a negative control using the extended Turesky Modified Quigley-Hein Index (TQHPI) after 3 weeks of use.
Background; A new mouth rinse formulation ("Lacer Oros Acción Integral", Lacer SA, Barcelona, Spain) has been recently proposed, including O-Cymen-5-ol, potassium nitrate, zinc chloride, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, sodium fluoride, panthenol and xylitol, within its ingredients. Thus, it may be relevant to test the efficacy of this new "Lacer Oros Acción Integral" mouth rinse formulation in a RCT. Primary Objective: The primary objective of this RCT will be to evaluate the antiplaque/antigingivitis effects of the test mouth rinse. Population: Consecutive subjects in supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) will be screened at the Post-Graduate Periodontal Clinic in the University Complutense, Madrid, and enrolled in the clinical trial if they are periodontitis patients, already enrolled in a SPT, for at least 6 months, systemically healthy, with moderate gingival inflammation and complains of dentin hypersensitivity. Study design: pilot, parallel, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 12-week, clinical trial Intervention: The experimental group will use three times daily a provided manual toothbrush with a sodium fluoride dentifrice, followed by the use of the test mouth rinse (Lacer Oros Acción Integral - new formula, Barcelona, Spain). The control group will use three times daily a provided manual toothbrush with a sodium fluoride dentifrice, followed by the use of the control mouth rinse (Lacer Oros Acción Integral - new formula, without active ingredients, Barcelona, Spain). Visits: Screening, baseline, 2 and 12 weeks. Outcomes: Periodontal clinical outcomes (plaque levels, gingival condition, probing pocket depth), Stainign, Microbiological outcomes (culture and qPCR). Patient reported outcomes, compliance, adverse effects.
The clinical cross over study involves the use of two herbal based dentifirices moringa and miswak and its efficacy in reducing plaque induced gingivitis. The patients selected are provided with details regarding the research format and consent taken.
The study is designed to evaluate the clinical changes in gingival health by measuring the reduction of gingival bleeding and inflammation over 4 weeks. Additionally, plaque removal will be evaluated after a single use (part 1) and over 4 weeks (part 2).
Present work was to investigate the possible efficacy of 0.2% cuminum cyminum herbal preparation as an antiplaque and antigingivitis agent when compared with chlorhexidine.
