Filter by:To evaluate the resolution of naturally occurring peri-implant mucositis (PM) treated by means of non-surgical mechanical debridement (NSMD) with or without full-mouth disinfection approach (FMD).
In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of oral care training for oral mucositis, which will be given by the researcher to patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation, on the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in patients. The aim of the study is to be carried out in a public and private hospital in Antalya province, in two different hospitals with a public and private status, and with a total of 60 patients, 30 of which are in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. In the study, "oral care training for oral mucositis" and "oral mucositis follow-up procedure" will be developed by the researcher for bone marrow transplant patients. Bone marrow transplant patients will be educated and followed up according to the follow-up procedure before starting the chemotherapy regimen treatments planned before the transplant.
The use of titanium dental implants has become a common modern treatment to restore teeth. Although the success rate of dental implants is high, inflammation around the dental implant still occurs. The current study will investigate if the inflammation around the implant is due to bacterial infection, hypersensitivity or both. The goal of this cross-sectional study is to (1) Establish the levels of cytokines in peri-implant crevicular fluid associated with bacterial infection and hypersensitivity reaction; (2) Compare the levels of cytokines associated with hypersensitivity and bacterial infection between healthy implants and inflamed implants (peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis); (3) Determine whether the difference in the levels of cytokines, if they exist, reflects the clinical diagnosis of healthy implants and inflamed implants.
Patients expected to receive a 500 mg/m2 of Leucovorin by iv & 500 mg/m2 of Fluorouracil (5FU) by iv bolus for their Colorectal Cancer. The patients will receive a one-hour infusion of TK-90 or equivalent TK-90 placebo depending on randomization at 5 hours & 11 hours post 5-FU iv bolus. This treatment cycle will continue weekly for 6 weeks. The TK112690 dose will be 45 mg/kg.
Approximately 60% and 90% of patients with head and neck (H&N) cancers receiving standard radiotherapy (RT) and chemoradiotherapy (chemo-RT) will develop oral mucositis respectively. Oral mucositis (OM) is one of the dose-limiting adverse events which can also lead to emotional and nutritional problems. Clinically, it is usually observed by the end of first week of RT (after 10 Gy) and reaches peak damage in 14-21 days or by the end of treatment. Healing then takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks after completion of RT. For the Chinese Medicine (CM) interventions, many studies have been reviewed on the efficacy of mouthwash or internal herbal decoction to OM. Although some positive results were observed, most of them were performed by applying different assessment tools and lack of quality of life (QOL) or self-reported symptoms assessment. In addition, the intervention time and follow-up period were usually insufficient (stopped at the end of RT), therefore they could not review the long-term efficacy of CM according to normal progression of OM and the safety of using CM. Therefore, we hope this pilot study can evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM in a strict protocol.
This two-arm, single-blinded, monocentric, controlled, randomised clinical study is designed to examine the effect of professional submucosal treatment by means of ultrasonics with plastic tip (test group), as compared to no professional submucosal instrumentation (control group), in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PIM). Both groups will have oral hygiene instruction/reinforcement (OHI) at baseline and repeated at 3 months. In the study, 50 participants will be enrolled (25 per group), with each patient contributing one implant with PIM. Peri-implant sulcus fluid (PISF) samples will be obtained at baseline, 3- and 6-months to analyse the change of relevant biomarkers over the course of PIM treatment. Intraoral scans will be performed at baseline, 3- and 6-months to analyse potential soft-tissue volumetric changes according to treatment.
Patients expected to receive a continuous course of radiation as single daily fractions of 2.0 Gy treatment with a cumulative radiation dose of 70 Gy. The radiation can be 2DRT, 3DRT,IMRT etc. Prior to each radiation treatment the patients will receive a one-hour infusion of TK-90 or equivalent TK-90 placebo depending on randomization. 6 Hours after the completion of TK-90 infusion or TK-90 placebo dose, the patients will receive another identical TK-90 or TK-90 placebo treatment depending on randomization. This treatment cycle will continue for 7 weeks. The TK112690 dose will be 45 mg/kg.
This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of thyme honey, saline and sodium bicarbonate solution in the management of oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiotherapy.
PROMs questionnaires seem to be an effective tool to obtain a greater knowledge of the physical and emotional state of patients. Despite this, few studies have been performed using patient reported outcomes in Head & Neck (H&N) cancer patients during and after treatment. The use of a novel topical mucosa composition (Saliactive®) is studied along the use of questionnaires.
Oral mucositis is common among cancer patients receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy. 80-90% of the patients are suffering from the mucositis pain; poor nutrition and even treatment discontinued. Some self-paid medications like glutamine has been used to prevent mucositis before and during radiotherapy/chemotherapy. Randomized controlled trials have shown that honey and propolis may be used for the management of mucositis. Honey demonstrates the most significant antibacterial effects; the green propolis has also been proved to comprise antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Bee products have been concerned as potential sources of natural antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenoids. This study plan to conduct an RCT comparing the effectiveness of honey, honey and green propolis, and usual care in mucositis of cancer patients.
