Filter by:Routine non surgical periodontal thearpy often fails to achieve complete elimination of pathogenic microorganism. This could be attiributable to deep periodontal pockets, root concavities, furcation involvement etc. Systemic and local antimicrobials have been used adjunctively with scaling and root planning to optimize the results. They have their own draw backs namely antibiotic resistance and narrow spectrum of action over periodontal pathogens. In the last decade lasers applications have diversified occupying greater part of the periodontal treatment strategies. Photodynamic thearpy has shown conflicting results as a adjunctive thearpy. The routinely used dyes are Methyelene blue, indocyanine green and rose bengal .These dyes are difficult to procure and may not be economical . Hydrogen peroxide due to its super radicals has a local antimicrobial effect. Since hydrogen peroxide can be easily available in a clinical setting and is cost effective. It could be used for photodisinfection . From the near-infrared spectrum lasers, the Nd-YAG laser can remove periodontal pathogens because of its thermal effect. However, changes in the neighboring tissues can be attributed to these unwanted thermal effects. The diode lasers that belong to the 655-980 nm spectrum could represent a safer alternative.Because of the transmission or scattering effect on hydroxyapatite, diode lasers have no effect on calculus. Anaerobic bacterial species intermedia produce black pigments in Brucella media from blood agar. Hemoglobin in the soft periodontal tissues behaves like a chromophore, being absorbed by the diode laser. Photoactivated procedure use photolysis of hydrogen peroxide with 810nm laser. It acts as an endogenous dye, which can increase the laser effect at this level and also generate ROS stopped immediately after the laser irridation. Therefore, the diode laser stimulation of 3%hydrogen peroxide has been utilized adjuvantive to SRP to optimize clinical outcome.
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is thought to be associated with comorbidities such as allergic rhinitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthma, and more. Many of these comorbidities can be caused by type 2 inflammation (T2I). This study aims to characterize the risk of undergoing OME surgery. This retrospective, matched-cohort study involved the retrospective recruitment of patients from 2009 to 2020, using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD)
This is a small intervention study which is aimed at characterizing what is known as the adaptive stress response (also know as "hormesis") in women aged 30-45 years. Participants will perform Bikram Yoga in a room heated to 104°F (40°C) which is often referred to as "Hot Yoga". The hypothesis of this study is that a protective and health-promoting adaptive stress response can be induced in living humans by performing exercise in a hot environment. The primary question is:How does the body physiologically adapt to performing moderately vigorous exercise in a hot environment?
The purpose of this research is to test the hypothesis that the consumption of meat products without additives, in comparison with their analogues with additives, could be beneficial in terms of modifying health markers. A 5-week clinical trial with two parallel arms will be performed with two parallel arms. Changes in different serum biomarkers of lipid metabolism, glucose, oxidative stress and inflammation will be analysed. Biomarkers related to digestive health, such as short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production and impact on the gut microbiota, will also be evaluated. Finally, factors such as body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and markers of exposure to additives will be measured.
The primary aim of this study is to assess whether the design of the bleaching tray used in at-home bleaching treatment is directly correlated with the risk of gingival irritation. Additionally, it aims to investigate whether the design influences the likelihood of dental sensitivity and its impact on the degree of tooth whitening.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel, called UNISEPT® ORAL GEL, in promoting oral wound healing, alleviating postoperative symptoms, and enhancing oral hygiene. Study participants will include individuals with any suspicious lesion in their gums or the roof of their mouth. They will undergo a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue for testing (biopsy) in order to confirm the diagnosis.This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a punch, which is a plastic handpiece with a cylindrical cutting blade. Subsequently, the wound heals naturally without the need for sutures. Researchers are comparing this gel with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The researchers will not know which one they are providing as the gel tubes will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation) and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (taking a photo the site of the biopsy) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash, named UNISEPT® MOUTHWASH, regarding oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms, xerostomia (dry mouth) and oral hygiene improvement. Study participants have reported dry mouth and are scheduled for a diagnostic biopsy of minor labial salivary glands to investigate Sjögren's Syndrome, following consultation with their rheumatologist. This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that leads to healing by primary intention (i.e. wound edges are closely re-approximated with sutures). Researchers are comparing this mouthwash with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving dry mouth and/or oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The investigators will not know which one they are providing as the bottles will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation), improvement of dry mouth and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial consultation and the biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (such as measuring saliva) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
The study aimed to explore the complex relationship between various systemic inflammatory indices and birth weight
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in Rheumatoid arthritis. The main question it aims to answer are: - To verify the effect of dietary fiber supplementation on reducing the level of inflammation; - To verify the effect of dietary fiber supplementation on improving disease activity and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis .To verify the effect of dietary fiber supplementation on regulating the production of anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acid in the gut of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The experimental group was supplemented with dietary fiber for 12 weeks, and the control group was fed with the Mediterranean diet. Before and after the intervention, 1 tube of 3ml blood and 1 soybean-sized stool were taken and a questionnaire was made
The participants were divided into two groups : group one ( Trunatomy file group)(n=10) was mechanically prepared the canals by Trunatomy file and group two ( Edgeendo x7 file group) ( n=10) was prepared the canals by Edgeendo x7 file, the participants were assessed pain preoperatively and postoperatively by Visual Analog Scale(VAS)
