Filter by:As part of the Reference Center for Rare Diseases of the Robert Debré Hospital, many children have eating and verbal oral disorders. In this doctoral research, we question the psychological impact of oral disorders on the dynamics of family functioning.Our research entitled: Evaluation and Remediation of Orality Disorders (ERTO) aims to evaluate the impact of psychological care of the child and a support program for parents. We hypothesized that this comprehensive management could contribute to improving disorders and consequently modify parental representations of the child and his disorders. In addition, care focused on intra-family relations and communication would allow a decentralization and a repositioning of the problem of disorders within the family dynamic. The results of this research will have concrete applications for the management of children suffering from oral disorders.
This study evaluates the relationship of endocannabinoids in saliva with inflammation and oral dysbacteriosis present in people with periodontal disease and prediabetes/type 2 diabetes
As oral health has a major impact on general health and quality of life, good oral health are essential. The aspects of oral health that are most important for each individual vary, and quality of life is subjective, and influenced by the person´s experiences, perceptions, expectations and ability to adapt to circumstances. FDI World Dental federations definition of oral health is; "Oral health is multifaceted and includes the ability to speak, smile, smell, taste, touch, chew, swallow, and convey a range of emotions through facial expressions with confidence and without pain, discomfort, and disease of the craniofacial complex.
In a crossover, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, 40 volunteers will receive the following formulations: hydrogels containing LAs (local anesthetic) - lidocaine and prilocaine (both at 2.5%) encapsulated in CLN (XAN-CLN) or not (XAN-CLN ), EMLA (topical anesthetic available on the market) and placebo hydrogel. The formulations will be applied for 2 minutes, bilaterally on the palatal mucosa (first premolar region), in two distinct sessions. Soon after removal of the topical formulation, an AL will be performed at the region using 0.3 mL of anesthetic solution at an injection speed of 1 mL/min. Pain resulting from needle insertion and LA injection will be measured using two visual analog scales (VAS).
The study aims at describing the prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection in anal and oral samples of men with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and detecting risk factors for the infection.
The program titled "Campus to Community: breaking the barrier in oral health education and dental care" is uniquely designed program to link University (Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences) to community (Sanghutar, Ramechhap). Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Teaching Hospital has established a model dental clinic in the premises of Him Ganga Secondary School, Shangutar which is operated by council registered Dentist and dental hygienist. The objective of this study is to assess oral health condition of the children aged 6-15 years of the school followed by application of pit and fissure sealant (PFS) in non-carious permanent molar and Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in carious permanent teeth. Data will be recorded according to the WHO Oral health assessment form for children, 2013 by a calibrated dentist from Dhulikhel Hospital and retention of PFS and efficacy of SDF application will be followed up after 6 months by the same investigators. The program is proposed with the expectation that proper oral hygiene prevention program combined with preventive procedures like pit and fissure sealant and SDF can reduce the burden of oral diseases in rural setup.
The purpose of this study is to validate the ability of the STRATICYTE™ predictive model to predict the transformation of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a retrospective cohort of patients who received biopsies.
Around 40 people will participate in the study. The study participants will be recruited from service homes in the City of Helsinki. The subjects will be randomized into two groups. One of the groups will receive daily photodynamic Lumoral treatment for 2 months in a home care unit according to a separate instruction manual. At the beginning of the study, all subjects will receive an oral cleaning and will also be provided with electric toothbrushes. In addition, residents and care home personnel will be instructed on daily tooth cleaning. During the study, all participants will undergo clinical measurements and an assessment of the oral inflammatory load. The samples will be stored for later analysis. In addition, residents or care home personnel answer questions about oral self-care. These measurements and examinations will be carried out at the start of the study and two months after the start of the study. After the end of the study, participants will continue to be treated according to their usual care and individual care plan.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test efficiency of using mouth rinse containing (H2O2 and HA) over a period of two weeks to control on gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation through measuring the clinical periodontal parameters (Gingival Index (GI), Bleeding on probing (BOP) and modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (mQHPI ) in comparison with Chlorhexidine (CHX) and placebo mouth rinses in patients with biofilm induced gingivitis. Objectives: - Evaluate the clinical efficiency of using mouth rinse containing (H2O2 and HA) over a period of 14 days to control on gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation through measuring the clinical periodontal parameters (Gingival Index, Bleeding on probing and modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index in comparison with Chlorhexidine and placebo mouth rinses in patients with biofilm induced gingivitis. - Measuring levels of salivary cytokines, Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1B) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6) at baseline visit before using mouth rinse and after 14 days of using the mouth rinse containing H2O2 and HA compared to chlorhexidine and placebo mouth rinses. - Evaluate subjects' perception of a mouth rinse (H2O2 and HA), CHX and placebo mouth rinses after 14 days from using three mouth rinse
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are rising in prevalence because of aging, unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle, and common NCDs are caries and periodontitis (here oral diseases) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Association between oral diseases and CVD has been observed in epidemiological studies, and suggested mechanisms include transfer of oral pathogen bacteria and pro-inflammatory mediators to other organs triggering immune response and systemic inflammation. Circulating mediators may initiate a response in the liver with production of C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A and increased tryptophan degradation, that contribute to CV inflammation and atherosclerosis. We have demonstrated that higher serum levels of these markers are associated with presence of hypertension and obesity and with higher risk of CVD. However, CVD and oral diseases also share many of the same risk factors, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes and smoking. Since the association of oral disease with CV risk factors mostly has been demonstrated in cross-sectional studies, the direction has not been ascertained. These CVD risk factors lead to changes in the heart and arteries (preclinical CVD); more harmful in women than men. If these conditions can impact development of oral diseases is not been investigated in large studies. Socio-economic inequalities have been reported for oral diseases and are linked to low socio-economic status (SES). It is unknown whether CV health and SES in midlife may impact prevalence of oral diseases later in life. It is also unknown if the oral microbiome differ by periodontitis severity and can be associated with inflammatory biomarkers, CV risk factors and preclinical CVD. The project will be performed in adults approaching the retirement age in Vestland county. We will combine their data from the ongoing Hordaland Oral Health Survey with their data from three surveys in the longitudinal Hordaland Health Study performed in the period 1992-2020.
