Filter by:Till date, no study has been reported in the literature where porous bioactive glass was used for the management of periodontal osseous defects. In this context, the present study is designed to assess the efficacy of the porous variant of bioactive glass and compare with that of nonporous variant using cone beam computed tomography.
The purpose of this study is to learn if a chair-side testing device will accurately measure levels of a salivary biomarker and thus indicate if a patient has periodontal health, gingivitis or periodontal disease.
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether short-term full mouth disinfection protocol could have a greater reduction in the levels of halitosis and volatile sulfur compound or not, when compared to quadrant-wise scaling and root planing
The aim of the study is to assess the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in patients with periodontitis during orthodontic-periodontal treatment for 12 months on the following aspects: (1) Effects on periodontal status; (2) Effects on alveolar bone remodeling; (3) Effects on cervical dentin sensitivity; (4) Effects on pain and quality of life. To eliminate any bias, the investigators will initially hypothesize that there is no difference in periodontal status, jawbone remodeling, tooth sensitivity, pain and quality of life in patients having teeth with chronic periodontitis and receiving LLLT with orthodontic treatment versus teeth undergoing orthodontic treatment without incorporation of LLLT.
Poor vitamin D status is very common in African Americans. Periodontitis (gum disease) are shown to be related to theincreased risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Vitamin D is freely available and cheap supplement that has shown beneficialeffect in the immune system regulation and maintenance of the cardiovascular health. In this study The investigators hypothesize thatvitamin D supplementation for 16 weeks in African Americans with periodontitis will result in clinical improvement in theirgum health as well as their cardiometabolic risk profile
The hypothesis of the investigators' project is that comprehensive primary preterm birth prevention, inclusive of maternal oral health with xylitol chewing gum (the intervention), will reduce the rate of periodontal disease and caries, preterm birth prevalence, and neonatal mortality.
This study examines how periodontal disease affects the complications of diabetes and how treatment for periodontal disease affects biomarkers associated with the complications of diabetes.
Cervitec, a chlorhexidine based varnished has been proven to reduce caries risk in younger populations. This study wants to investigate if the use of this product would reduce the risk of losing abutment teeth on patients that are wearing partial dentures as the literature has proven that these teeth are more prone to caries and periodontal disease. The primary objectives of this research project are to: 1. Assess if the topical application of CHX/thymol varnish every three months on partial denture abutment teeth results in a clinicallu significant decrease in any loss of attachment compared to no application, and 2. Assess if the topical application of CHX/thymol vanirhs every three months on partial denture abutment teeth results in a clinically significant decrease in carious lesion development or progression compared to no application. The secondary objectives of this research project are to: 1. Assess of the topical application of CHX/thymol varnish every three months on partial denture abutment teeth compared to no application results in a clinically significant difference in: 1. Bleeding on probing (BoP). 2. Plaque formation. 3. Periodontal pocket depths. 4. Microbial composition and GCF cytokine profile of the sub gingival environment. 5. The patients self perception of oral health.
The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of RANKL and Osteoprotegerin, and their relationship in gingival crevicular fluid of post-menopausal women with osteoporosis/osteopenia and chronic periodontitis simultaneously and evaluate the effect that the use of bisphosphonates in periodontal disease. Study hypothesis: "The osteoporosis / osteopenia in postmenopausal women patients with periodontal disease affect the ratio RANKL / OPG in gingival crevicular fluid samples favoring osteoclastogenesis processes "
The treatment of otolaryngology (OLR) cancer is based on surgery, radiation, sometimes used in combination with chemotherapy. Patients treated with radiotherapy have multiple oral diseases: mucositis, hyposalivation, tissue fibrosis, exacerbation of periodontitis. Over 70% of patients with head and neck cancers treated with radiotherapy have a lower level of dental clinical attachment and 92% have loose teeth or missing. The management of these oral complications is a priority in OLR oncology. The aim is to improve the oral health of patients to achieve a comfortable life acceptable and necessary for healing. This project proposes to deepen the investigation with two main objectives: 1. To study in vivo the effect of radiation treatment on the evolution of the viral flora of the periodontium in a cohort of patients and matched controls. 2. To study in vitro the effects of irradiation on the replication EBV (herpesvirus) in producing websites lymphoepithelial tonsillar, and atypical dendritic cells associated with EBV that existence were recently discovered.
