Filter by:Objective: This study was conducted in order to examine the effect of oral self-care protocol based on Orem's Self-Care Deficiency Theory on oral mucositis and self-care agency. Method: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial between August 2021 and July 2022, patients with hematological malignancies receiving high-dose chemotherapy at the Izmir Ege University Faculty of Medicine Hospital and Izmir Training and Research Hospital. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 60 patients, including 30 application groups and 30 control groups, who met the inclusion criteria using the computer-based stratified randomization method. The study data were collected using "Patient Information Questionnaire," "WHO-Oral Mucositis Toxicity Scale," "Oral Assessment Guide," "Self-Care Agency Scale," "Data Collection Form Prepared According to Orem's Self-Care Deficiency Nursing Theory," "Oral Care Chart," and "Oral Cavity Photography." The oral self-care protocol, which includes training and oral care practices, was applied to the application group for 21 days from the beginning of chemotherapy treatment. The control group was not subjected to any oral care attempts by the researcher and received standard nursing care in the clinic. The data were evaluated by descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Mc Ne-mar test, the Kappa compliance test, and the t test in dependent and independent groups.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate in a cohort of patients with peri-implant mucositis: (a) the efficacy of professional mechanical debridement therapy assisted using Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy on the reduction of periodontal indexes (b) the reduction of total oxidative salivary stress. Material and Methods Forty subjects with a diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to the study group (mechanical debridement therapy assisted using Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy) or control group (mechanical debridement therapy alone). The study duration was 6 months. Data on plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BoP), probing pocket depth (PPD) and pain relief on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were recorded at T0, T1 (14 days), T2 (1 month) and T3 (6 months). Group differences were assessed using Student's t-test and Pearson's Chi-squared test of homogeneity
Oral mucositis (OM) is recognized as one of the most frequent debilitating sequela encountered by head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated by radiotherapy. The objective of the study is to assess primarily the effect of topical oral Omega-3 hydrogel in prevention of radiation-induced oral mucositis and secondarily, to test the effect of topical oral Omega-3 hydrogel on oral microbiome.
Peri-implant disease is an inflammatory process of bacterial etiology that can affect the tissues around the implants and can be classified as peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis. The confirmation of the action of probiotics against microorganisms that cause peri-implant diseases can represent a great advance in the treatment of these diseases that affect a large part of the population, and may even reduce or prevent the use of antibiotics, reducing the risk of implant loss and, consequently, greater damage to the oral and systemic health of individuals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the action of probiotics on the peri-implant health of total edentulous patients using Branemark protocol prosthetic rehabilitations. For this, 38 patients were selected, without systemic alterations and non-smokers. Clinical monitoring was performed at baseline (pre-intervention period) as well as at 12 and 24 weeks after study initiation. The following parameters were evaluated: modified gingival index (MGI), modified plaque index (MPI), probing depth (PD) and probing bleeding (PB). Data were subjected to statistical analysis at a significance level of 5%. There was an increase in sites with IGM 0 in the test group at 12 and 24 weeks. The test group presented more sites with IGM 0 than the control. IPM 0 sites increased in the control group at 12 and 24 weeks in the control group. PD decreases in a test and control group. Finally, the test group had lower PB rates. Thus, the probiotic used demonstrated ability to contribute to the improvement of peri-implant health of the patients analyzed.
Oral mucositis is one of the most spread side effects of anticancer therapy. It is associated with both chemo- and radiotherapy, decreases QoL, relative dose intensity and leads to nutritive deficiency. Oral mucositis causes secondary infections, increased hospital stay, whereas pain syndrome results in an emotional distress, anorexia and disables natural feeding.
This is a descriptive mixed method pilot study to determine the feasibility of a tailored nurse-delivered telephone intervention designed to impact mucositis symptom severity and prevent dehydration in lung and head/neck cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation, therefore reducing overall symptom severity and improving quality of life. Secondary purposes for this study are to investigate if the nursing intervention can decrease lung and head/neck cancer patients' unscheduled medical visits between chemoradiation treatments.
GM-CSF may protect normal cells from the side effects, such as mucositis, of radiation therapy and may help damaged tissue heal faster after radiation therapy. This randomized clinical trial is studying how well GM-CSF works in preventing and treating mucositis in patients who are undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
