NCT ID: NCT06341959 Recruiting - Oral Disease Clinical Trials

Can a Low-threshold Check-up Motivate Older People to Schedule a Dental Visit?

Start date: April 25, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There is little research on the effect of oral screening campaigns for improving oral health in older people. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a low-threshold contact with an oral health professional, including an oral health examination, on dental attendance of older people (65 years of age or older).

NCT ID: NCT06321003 Recruiting - Oral Cancer Clinical Trials

SYsteMatical Trained learnIng aLgorithms for Oral carcInogenesiS Interpretation by Optical Coherence Tomography

SYMILIS OCT
Start date: March 13, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in the early diagnosis of oral cancer. It focuses on Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) as precursors to Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Despite the availability of oral screening, diagnostic delays persist, underscoring the importance of exploring non-invasive methodologies. The OCT technology provides cross-sectional analysis of biological tissues, enabling a detailed evaluation of ultrastructural oral mucosal features. The trial aims to compare OCT preliminary evaluation with traditional histology, considered the gold standard in oral lesion diagnosing. It seeks to create a database of pathological OCT data, facilitating the non invasive identification of carcinogenic processes. The goal is to develop a diagnostic algorithm based on OCT, enhancing its ability to detect characteristic patterns such as the keratinized layer, squamous epithelium, basement membrane, and lamina propria in oral tissues affected by OPMDs and OSCC. Furthermore, the trial aims to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) in OCT image analysis. The use of machine learning algorithms could contribute to a faster and more accurate assessment of images, aiding in early diagnosis. The trial aims to standardize the comparison between in vivo OCT images and histological analysis, adopting a site-specific approach in biopsies to improve correspondence between data collected by both methods. In summary, the trial not only evaluates OCT as a diagnostic tool but also aims to integrate AI to develop a standardized approach that enhances the accuracy of oral cancer diagnosis, providing a significant contribution to clinical practice.

NCT ID: NCT05942794 Recruiting - Oral Cancer Clinical Trials

Identification of Oral Lesions Through an Autofluorescence System

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study will be to evaluate the efficacy of a tissue autofluorescence detection system as an aid to clinical screening in identifying lesions of the oral mucosa. The screening process will be performed by 3 clinicians with a different level of experience. Sensitivity and specificity tests will be conducted.

NCT ID: NCT05707221 Recruiting - Oral Disease Clinical Trials

Effect of Different Cleaning Regimes on Biofilm Formation of Acrylic Based Removable Orthodontic Appliance

Start date: April 17, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is to evaluate the effects of different cleaning regimes i.e. chemical and mechanical on biofilm formation of an acrylic based removable orthodontic appliance and to find out if surface modification i.e. polished acrylic fitting surface, have an impact on cleaning the biofilm formation.

NCT ID: NCT05656417 Recruiting - Gingivitis Clinical Trials

Individual Variability of Experimental Gingivitis Response

Start date: January 19, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study aims to investigate the genetic cause of the variability between individuals seen in the development of the gum disease, gingivitis. This will be carried out through a 3 week programme where all oral hygiene is ceased, allowing 'experimental gingivitis' to develop, followed by a period of recovery when tooth cleaning is restored. Clinical assessments and biological samples will be taken during the course of the study for further analysis.

NCT ID: NCT05390099 Recruiting - Oral Disease Clinical Trials

Anti-Plaque and Anti-Gingivitis Effects of Moringa Plant Extract and Fluoride Toothpastes

Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study aims to assess and compare the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis effects of Moringa plant extract and Fluoride toothpastes among a group of Egyptian Children.

NCT ID: NCT05212766 Recruiting - COVID-19 Clinical Trials

Role of the Oral Microbiome & Mucosal Immunity in COVID-19 Disease

MIMSA
Start date: April 7, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Determining whether in the mouth there are differences between the participant groups in the nature and activity of mucosal innate immunity, in immune responses to SARS-COV2 antigens, or in the oral microbiome

NCT ID: NCT04581486 Recruiting - Malnutrition Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of an Optimal-Massive Intervention in Older Patients With Dysphagia

OMI
Start date: June 6, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an optimal-massive intervention (OMI) based on increasing shear viscosity of fluids, nutritional support with oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and triple adaptation of food (rheological and textural, caloric and protein and organoleptic) and oral hygiene improvement on the incidence of respiratory infections in older patients with OD. We have designed a randomized clinical trial, with two parallel arms and 6 months follow-up. The study population will be constituted by older patients of 70 years or more with OD hospitalized at Hospital de Mataró by an acute process that will be identified by using the volume-viscosity swallow clinical test. We will consecutively recruit 500 subjects during admission (Geriatrics, Internal medicine, etc.) at the Hospital de Mataró. Patients included will be randomly assigned to one of both interventional groups: a) study intervention: multifactorial intervention based on fluid viscosity adaptation (with a xanthan gum thickener -> Nutilis Clear®), nutritional support with a triple adaptation of food (texture, caloric and protein content, organoleptic) + pre-thickened ONS and evaluation and treatment of oral hygiene (tooth brushing + antiseptic mouthwashes + professional dental cleaning), or b) control intervention: standard clinical practice (fluid adaptation with Nutilis Powder and simple texture adaptation for solids). Main outcome measures: respiratory infection incidence during the 6-month period follow-up. Secondary outcomes: mortality at 6 months, general hospital readmissions and readmissions due to respiratory infections, nutritional status, hydration status, quality of life, functional status, oral hygiene and dysphagia severity and its relationship with other study variables.

NCT ID: NCT04386460 Recruiting - Nutrition Poor Clinical Trials

Covid-19 and Prevention of Malnutrition After Confinement by Dentists

Start date: May 11, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background. The Covid-19 pandemic reached France in January 2020 and the French government decreed the confinement of the population for eight weeks, from March 17 to May 10, 2020. Dental surgeries were closed and only dental emergency services were provided. Dental surgeries reopened on May 11th, with a limited focus on urgent care, by applying new occupational hygiene standards to limit the circulation of SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus. Hypothesis. From May 11th, chronic patients and elderly patients who come to the hospital for dental consultations will have two risks of malnutrition:
