Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of home treatment with a postbiotic-based gel for the management of periodontal inflammation in patients with Down syndrome. Patients will be enrolled at the S.C. Odontostomatologia dell'Azienda Ospedaliera "Ordine Mauriziano di Torino", Turin, Italy. After the collection of the periodontal clinical indexes (BoP%, PCR%, dental mobility, mMGI, compliance and satisfaction questionnaire), patients will undergo a professional mechanical debridement with ultrasonic instruments and glycine powders. Then, they will be randomly divided into two groups according to the home treatment: - in the Trial group Biorepair Plus Parodontgel Intensive (containing microRepair®, hyaluronic acid, Lactobacillus Ferment and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder) will be used once a day for all the duration of the study - in the Control group, a placebo gel without (active ingredients) will be used once a day for all the duration of the study. Indexes will be re-evaluated after 1 (T1), 3 (T2) and 6 months. The professional mechanical debridement will be performed again at T3 timepoint.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on patient halitosis, smell, and taste perception in gingivitis and periodontitis patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival health affect the patient's halitosis, taste, and smell perception? - Does non-surgical treatment affect the patient's bad breath, perception of taste and smell? Participants will be informed about the study. No additional intervention will be performed for the study, and patients will continue their routine periodontal treatments.
Gingivitis in pregnant women is a common inflammatory periodontal disease that appears from the third month of pregnancy with an overall prevalence of 35 to 100%. This condition is induced by oral biofilm and exacerbated by increased levels of sex steroid hormones characteristic of pregnancy. Strict bacterial plaque control with both professional and home oral hygiene is essential. Manual toothbrushes require a more specific manual technique for women, while sonic electric toothbrushes, due to their ease of use, might be an excellent for oral individual prophylaxis. Therefore, the question of which type of manual or electric toothbrush might be more effective in reducing gingival inflammation in pregnant women is still unresolved. In literature there are a large number of in vitro clinical studies on this topic, there are currently no clinical studies investigating this long-term clinical comparison. In this context, this study is a randomized clinical trial consisting of a comparative evaluation between two manual and two sonic electric toothbrushes in the efficacy of the control of plaque in order to reduce gingivitis in women during the period of pregnancy.
It is essential that athletes have perfect general health. Oral health plays an important role in this healthy framework necessary so that the results that must be achieved by athletes are not influenced. Inflammatory and / or infectious processes such as periodontal disease, caries, or even joint problems such as temporomandibular joint dysfunction can affect performance or impair participation in training and competitions.
The number of orthodontic treatment provided to Brazilian population has been increased. Unfortunately, some negative effects such as gum bleeding and bad breath are commonly observed. It partially happens because tooth brushing and flossing become more difficult in the presence of braces. Therefore, there is a need for clinical protocols able to maintain the mouth healthy during orthodontic treatment. Considering that proper use of mouthwashes by in individuals without braces is accompanied by decrease in plaque and gum inflammation levels, it was hypothesized that, during orthodontic treatment their anti-gingivitis and anti-plaque properties would positively affect oral health. Objectives: The present study will compare the effects of two commercially available mouthwashes with a placebo mouthwash in orthodontic patients wearing fixed appliances. Whole-mouth clinical examinations will be performed in periodontally healthy patients 15 days before, at the day of bonding and also 3 and 6 months after braces bonding. Hard and soft tissues status, presence of gingivitis and amount of dental plaque will be monitored to determine mouthwashes efficacy. At these same time-points plaque samples will be collected from dental sites and braces surfaces aiming at determining total levels of bacteria and levels of specific bacteria related to gum disease. After a full-mouth ultrasonic debridement to remove dental plaque, stains and tartar, patients will be randomly assigned to an Essential oils, Cetylpyridinium chloride or a placebo mouthwash for 6 months (40 ml/day). Further, samples of orthodontic wires will be analyzed under microscopy to check whether regular use of mouthwashes increases the risk of corrosion or not.
