Filter by:The aim of the present study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of Dexmedetomidine, Ozone and Dexamethasone regional injection in carpal tunnel syndrome.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of dry needling treatment (DN) and ozone treatment on pain and functionality in individuals with myofascial pain syndrome affecting the upper trapezius (UT) region.
Despite conflicting and contradictory evidence regarding its efficacy, some wound care centres have advocated and adopted ozone for treating DFU. However, there are gaps in the application of topical ozone therapy. Reported no significant impact on the healing process of DFU, and not all said that topical ozone can enhance the healing process. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of topical ozone therapy in conjunction with standard wound care versus routine wound care alone in treating DFU. The wound, ischemia, and foot infection (WIFI) scale was used to measure wound size, the tissue survival rate at DFU, infection, peripheral microcirculation, glycemic control, Hba1c control, and wound healing.
Anti-infective procedures play a very important role in the success of regenerative surgical treatment of aggressive periodontitis, Grade C periodontitis, which shows the newly named molar-incisor pattern according to the 2017 World Workshop Classification of Periodontal Diseases. In the present study, it was aimed to analyze the effects of photodynamic, photobiomodulation, and ozone therapy applications on periodontal healing, both clinically and immunologically, in addition to the surgical regenerative treatment of aggressive periodontitis. Forty adult individuals diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis who applied to Gazi University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Periodontology for the treatment of periodontal disease were included in the study. In addition to the regenerative surgical treatment using cortico-cancellous particle allograft and a resorbable collagen membrane in randomly determined areas with multiple intraosseous defects, topical ozone, antimicrobial photodynamic, and light-emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation treatments were applied. Periodontal clinical parameters [plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depths (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession (GR), and width of keratinized gingival (WKG)] were examined and patient-centered postoperative evaluations, and early wound healing index (EHI) assessments were performed for 2 weeks after the operation. In addition, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples from patients to determine the total amount and concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin -6 (IL-6), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RunX2), NEL-like 1 (Nell-1), Osterix and samples were quantified by Quantitative Real-Time PCR. The repeated measures ANOVA model was used for the analysis of variables in which both group and time measurements were taken.
In this study, the investigators planned to compare local anesthetic injection added to stretching exercise, ozone injection treatment added to stretching exercise, and only stretching exercise in patients with upper trapezius muscle myofascial pain syndrome.
The aim of the present study is analyzing the effect of an domestic ozonated water delivering device on the oral health status of pregnant women. Two groups of 30 women will be enrolled following a simple randomization scheme: the group A will be equipped with a domestic ozonated water delivering device and a control group B that will not be equipped with the device. The sample size was calculated with a power analysis performed starting from descriptive data differences obtained from a pilot study in order to achieve a power higher than 80 percent with an alpha error of 0.05 resulting in a minimum of 27 participants for each group. The protocol was in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethical Committee of the IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital, all the participants will be informed about the aim of the study and will sign an informed consent form. At the first examination (T0) the clinical oral hygiene parameters will be recorded on the enrolled participants of both the groups and they will be subjected to a professional oral hygiene procedure with appropriate home oral hygiene instructions. The same clinical oral hygiene parameters will be recorded also after 15 days (T1) and after 75 days (T2) from the first examination. All the clinical procedures and data recording will be conducted by the operator X blind to the participants group while the operator Y will give the device and instruct the participants to its proper use. After a descriptive analysis of the data, an analysis of the data distribution will be performed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. According with the result of the data distribution analysis the differences between-groups and within-groups will be evaluated with the proper parametric or non-parametric test.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of the ozone application in stepwise excavation of primary molars. Methods: This study was conducted in vivo conditions with 105 lower primary second molars that had deep caries lesions with the risk of pulpal exposure. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups: Conventional stepwise excavation without any disinfectant, 2% chlorhexidine digluconate(CHX) and ozone application. In four different stages (after; initial excavation, ozone/CHX application, four months, final excavation), dentine samples were collected for microbiological analysis of mutans streptococci, lactobacilli and total number of colony forming units. Clinical changes as dentine colour, humidity, consistency were recorded. The data were analysed by Mann-Whitney U, Friedman and chi-square test.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of the ozone application in two-visit indirect pulp therapy. Materials and Methods: One hundred and five lower first molar teeth with deep caries lesion were included and randomly assigned three groups to apply two-visit indirect pulp therapy. Treatment procedure was applied without any disinfectant(control), with 60s 2% chlorhexidine digluconate(CHX) or 60s ozone application. In four different stage (after initial excavation, ozone/CHX application before the temporary restoration, four months later immediately after removing temporary restoration, and final excavation) dentin humidity, consistency and colour properties were recorded to evaluate the clinical characteristics of the tissue, and standard dentin samples were collected for the microbiological analysis of mutans streptococci, lactobacilli and the total number of colony forming units. The data were analyzed by using Mann-Whitney-U test for multiple comparisons.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ozonated water on pain, edema and trismus after third molar removal. Patients were submitted to extraction of lower third molar under irrigation with ozonated water or doubly distilled water. Data were collected at baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after intervention.
The research plan proposes translational studies in relevant animal models and human subjects in order to identify host (genetic) susceptibility factors that confer vulnerability to the prototypal air pollutant, ozone. The results will have significant impact upon, and aid in, understanding mechanisms regulating pro-oxidant lung injury, production and secretion of airway mucins, and clearance of respiratory mucus, and adverse health effects, that occur during and following exposure to airborne respiratory irritants.
