Filter by:This is a split-mouth randomized clinical trial in which a new domiciliary oral care protocol with Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse is evaluated in periodontal patients.
OrACell has been tested as a barrier in bone regenerative procedures showing promising results in new bone formation after socket preservation, but no data is available on root coverage procedures. Moreover, it has been suggested that keratinized tissue width (KTW) ≥2mm and gingival thickness (GT) ≥1.2 mm at 6 months of the surgical procedures are two important predictors for long term stability of gingival margin Therefore, it was hypothesized that soft tissue thickness and keratinized tissue width may influence the percentage of root coverage. By means of a prospective case series (12 patients in total), the aim is to study the performance of the OrACell dermal matrix in the treatment of multiple and adjacent gingival recessions, determining the amount of complete root coverage obtained at 6 months of follow-up. At the same time, it is intended to evaluate the effect of initial gingival thickness, by means of digital scanning, upon the success of root coverage procedure with OrACell.
This study is an open-label split-mouth study in which periodontal patients will be treated in order to obtain periodontal health. After non-surgical therapy and air-perio polishing, a periodontal in-situ gelling product (Biorepair Implant Bioactive gel) will be applied in periodontal pockets in two quadrants (Q1-Q3 or Q2-Q4) of the mouth of the participants. At the same time, pockets of the contralateral quadrant will be irrigated with chlorhexidine gel 1%. Patients will continue to use gels at home for the following 14 days and on the same quadrants. Professional ora hygiene session will be performed after 1, 3 and 6 months from the baseline. Patients are divided into two groups with inverted quadrants administration in order to evaluate the improvements of periodontal inflammation indices and to assess the efficacy of Biorepair Implant Bioactive gel compared to chlorhexidine 1% gel treatment.
Objectives: The aim of this study is; detection of peptidyl arginine deiminase4 (PAD4), galectin-3 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples of periodontally healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients and the possible correlation between these values and clinical parameters of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: Samples of GCF were obtained from 60systemically healthy non-smoker individuals with periodontitis (P, n=20), gingivitis(G, n=20) and healthy periodontium (S, n=20). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine PAD4, galectin-3 and TNF-α levels in the biological samples.
Aim of this study: is to evaluate the influence of stress level on the response of non surgical periodontal therapy in patients affected by severe periodontitis divided into "Medium/High stress level" or "Low stress level" based on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The defined primary outcome referring to the clinical response of the patients is the bleeding index, Full-Mouth Bleeding Score (FMBS), as a clinical sign of inflammation. Materials and Methods: Monocentric prospective triple blinded study. A single evaluator conducting all the psychologic tests, a single operator blinded to the results of the psychologic tests doing all the clinical measurements, and the patients will be initially blinded to the category of stress that they'll belong to. The minimum number of patients to enrol will be 89 based on a sample calculation. Inclusion Criteria: Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study: Age from 20 to 80 years Diagnosis of Periodontitis stage III/IV according to the new classification (2018); Presence of at least 14 teeth, with a minimum of 10 sites with PD at least > 5 mm and radiographic evidence of alveolar bone loss. Written informed consent Exclusion Criteria. The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from study enrollment: Smokers > 10 cig/die Patients with orthodontic appliances; Pregnant or lactating women; Individuals who have received periodontal treatment in the 6 months prior to recruitment; Patients with systemic diseases that could interfere the clinical response to periodontal treatment (i.e. diabetes); Subjects under treatment with antibiotics, steroidal and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication 3 weeks prior to the visit and patients treated with antiepileptic drugs Operative procedure: Clinical parameters and psychologic test will be done at the baseline. All the patients will be treated by means of non surgical periodontal therapy on a quadrant protocol including oral hygiene instructions and motivations and subgingival instrumentation in four successive visits. 6 weeks after the last visit, the clinical parameters will be registered again. Clinical Parameters: Periodontal condition of each patient will be evaluated through the collection of the following parameters: - Full-Mouth Bleeding score (FMBS): presence/absence of bleeding on probing using a periodontal probe on each surface of the tooth (six sites per tooth), calculated in percentage for all the examined teeth. - Full-Mouth Plaque Score (FMPS): presence/absence of plaque using a periodontal probe on each surface of the tooth (six sites per tooth), calculated in percentage for all the examined teeth. - Probing Depth (PD): measured for each surface of the tooth (six sites per tooth) using a periodontal probe, measured as the distance between the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the depth of the pocket. - Gingival recession (Rec): measured for each surface of the tooth (six sites per tooth) using a periodontal probe, measured as the distance between the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the free gingival margin. - Clinical attachment level (CAL): The sum of PD and Rec. Psychologic Test: The Stress condition of each patient will be assessed by a Psychologist using: PSS is a 10-items self-report questionnaire that measure the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. The PSS is scored on a 5-point scale (never, almost never, sometimes, fairly often and very often). PSS norms are available from a sample of the USA collected by Cohen & Williamson (1988). The mean level for men was 12.1 (S.D. 5.9) and for women 13.7 (S.D. 6.6).
This study compared the clinical outcomes of the non-incised papila surgical approach (NIPSA) alone and with grafting biomaterial.
Boswellia sacra Flueck. oleoresin extract (frankincense) was traditionally used in the treatment of different diseases as respiratory, rheumatoid arthritis, and bacterial infections. Therefore, the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of frankincense extract against Porphyromonas gingivalis periodontal pathogen clinical isolates were studied
There is a relationship between depression and periodontal disease. This relationship may be double-sided. A psychological state such as anxiety, depression, body image, and self-esteem may be affected from the symptoms of periodontal disease.
Investigation of the biomechanical properties of the periodontal tissues in patients with periodontal disease. Non-surgical periodontal therapy will be assessed between baseline and 30 post-op by general clinical measurements (KT, PPD, CAL, BOP) as well as by biomechanical analysis and compared.
Proper plaque control is essential for to maintain oral and general health therefore, improving patient motivation is crucial for to prevent oral diseases including periodontal diseases. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of periodontal health education session (PHES) including the pathogenesis and consequences of periodontal diseases on oral hygiene motivation in patients with gingivitis.
