Dental caries and periodontal disease are the two most common diseases in dentistry. Caries was caused by the acidic environment produced through the interaction of oral flora (biofilm) and fermentable food residues on the tooth surface over time thus to destroying the tooth structure. Periodontal disease was also highly associated with microorganisms in the periodontal tissues and the inflammatory response of the host that irritate and destruct periodontal and bone tissues. Recent studies have found that both stress and eating habits are associated with decline in oral health. Probiotics have been traditionally used for prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. In the past decade, accumulated studies further indicate that imbalance of oral microflora is highly related to oral diseases thus probiotics has been suggested for maintaining oral health. It is thus conceivable that probiotics as a buccal tablet may potentially restore the balance of oral flora providing a novel strategy to combat oral diseases. Such strategy may also harbor great opportunities for the long-term management of dental caries and periodontal infections. In order to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics buccal tablet in rebalancing oral flora and control to reduce the incidence of dental caries and periodontal diseases, the investigators aimed to conduct a comprehensive clinical trials for subsequent product optimization. Grape King Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has successfully developed oral tablet mainly composed of Lactobacillus plantarum GKD7 and Pediococcus acidilactici GKA4. These two probiotics were found to inhibit caries through producing protective biofilms thus are more effective than commercially available anti-tooth decay products. To evaluate the future potential of clinical applications of the related products series and the impact on oral health-related indicators, the investigators will explore the changes in the the following disease associated indexes before and after using the oral tablet. These include periodontal pocket depth, the gingival inflammation index, the plaque index, and the ratio of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Streptococcus mutans, and Porphyromonas gigivalis, as well as quantification of total bacteria. This clinical study will be performed in Department of Stomatology in NCKUH in collaboration with periodontics session and Family Dentistry session. A total of 50 healthy individuals within the range of 20~65 years old will be enrolled.
the aim of this study was to assess serum levels of high sensitivity c reactive protein in periodontitis patients with and without type 2 diabetes in a trial to analyze its prognostic effect following non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Clinically, the gingival retraction dentistry itself has found wide uses. It has achieved the use of subgingival and gingival crowns in fixed prostheses, cervical abrasion in restorative dentistry, management of root caries and root sensitivity, and recently in the use of appropriate measurements to improve the marginal fit of implant prostheses.There are three different retraction procedures described in the literature: mechanical, mechanical-chemical (chemically impregnated cords or matrix in injectable form) and surgery (electrosurgical, laser, cauterization, etc.)The mechanical method of retraction cords is not always suitable for patients' existing pocket depth, the necessity of using different combinations in shallow or deep pockets, the potential for limited bleeding control in chemically impregnated cords and the toxicity values in those who interact with chemical have led researchers to search for alternative methods. Especially inflammed gingiva is very sensitive to mechanical and chemical trauma. Studies have reported that gingival inflammation, pain, pocket formation, gingival withdrawal, increased bleeding and wound contamination occurred following retraction cord application. However, it is a known fact that the impression material is distorted or the accuracy of the measurement is decreased with the measurements taken without retraction. Nowadays, CAD / CAM (computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing) devices, which are designed to overcome these problems and eliminate the errors related to the measurement material, are the first step to be taken with a clear measure.Gingival retraction is recommended to improve the success of scanners in all restorations performed at the gingival or subgingival endpoint. Therefore, in our study, crown restorations will be produced from hybrid blocks by means of CAD / CAM device in order to evaluate the interaction of gingival health with hybrid blocks and to provide the latest technology and standardization.
Sialic acid (SA) is the generic term given to a family of acetylated derivatives of neuraminic acid. SA is a 9 carbon monosaccharide. An important function of host SA is to regulate innate immunity. SA is present in several acute phase proteins which are known to be associated with periodontitis. There exists a need for a biomarker, for early detection of disease evolution and more robust therapy efficacy measurements. Till date, there is very little data regarding simultaneous estimation and comparison of total SA content in saliva. IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, regulates the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, -2, -6 and stimulates protective antibody production. IL-10 is expressed in both healthy and diseased human periodontal tissues and is reported to be reduced in patients infected with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The present study was therefore undertaken with an aim, to not only assess the levels of TSA(Total sialic acid levels),but also of IL 10 levels in saliva from stage 1(mild) to stage 2(moderate) periodontitis patients
COHESION is a randomized trial targeting reduction of systemic inflammation through an oral hygiene regimen incorporating a plaque-disclosing toothpaste and a control toothpaste.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the incidence and severity of the periodontal infection of patients with preterm labor. The secondary objective of the study is to analyze the relationship between preterm labor and periodontal infection, using clinical, biochemical and microbiological methods.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the incidence and severity of the periodontal infection of patients with preeclampsia. The secondary objective of the study is to analyze the relationship between preeclampsia and periodontal infection, using clinical, biochemical and microbiological methods.
Study will follow a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with two groups in parallel,N of 40 patients in 6 weeks of follow up for the evaluation of two different posology models (daily consumption of probiotic gum, with or without previous professional oral cleaning). Probiotics have recently been used to combat oral diseases (plaque control, caries, halitosis, etc.), as a non-invasive natural therapy.
This study will evaluate periodontal and systemic parameters of a cohort of chronic kidney disease (stage 5) patients, before and three months after non-surgical periodontal treatment. It does not consider a control group.
