Filter by:Amino acids (AAs) are organic molecules that are associated with inflammation and innate immunity diseases with critical roles in the cell repair and protection process. Our aim was to identify the free amino acids in saliva of a group of periodontitis patients and healthy individuals and additionally to assess their levels in different periodontal disease types and compare it to the healthy individuals.
The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of gingival unit graft (GUG) and connective tissues graft (CTG) in Miller's class I and II gingival recession.
This study aims to determine Oncostatin M (OSM), Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and Interleukin-11 (IL-11) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva, and serum in periodontally healthy individuals and those with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis before and after periodontal treatment and to evaluate the relationship between these cytokine levels and clinical periodontal parameters.
Investigators hypothesize that in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) the severity of periodontal disease is significantly higher compared to patients without OSA in every aspect, including PI, PD, CAL and BOP. The number of lost teeth is hypothesized to be also higher in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Purpose: evaluation of periodontal status in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. An analytical cross-sectional study will be conducted at the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry of the Sechenov University, Moscow. Investigators are planning to recruit 100 patients: 1) patients with OSA confirmed by polysomnography -75 participants aged between 35 and 65; 2) patients without OSA -25 participants of a similar age. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome will be sub-divided into three sub-groups according to OSA severity: 2A group - patients with mild apnea severity; 2B group - patients with medium apnea severity; 2C group - patients with severe apnea. All participants will undergo a dental examination including the following parameters: plaque index (PI; Silness & Loe, 1964), bleeding on probing (BOP), and touch depth of the pocket (PD), the level of clinical attachment loss (CAL). Investigators will also evaluate the number of lost teeth.
This study is the first to investigate the effect of leucocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) combined with perforated membrane in order to treat infrabony defects and assess their combined effect in clinical attachment level gain and filling of base of the defect (BD). The main hypothesis was that if the L-PRF act as a chemoattracttant for a higher number of periosteal derived periodontal cells (PDPCs) and gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) encouraging their passage through the membrane perforations.
The aim of this study was to analyze the association between serum and salivary Galectin-3 levels in patients with periodontitis. Furthermore, the objective was to determine if the periodontitis influenced serum and salivary Galectin-3 levels
The use of chlorhexidine or ozonized water in periodontal pockets accompanying NPT can provide a significant improvement in probing pocket depths compared to conventional treatment. However, the effect of subgingival ozonized water applications on VEGF and IGF levels, which are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and periodontal regeneration, should be examined.
The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of waterpipe smoking on periodontal health, which will be done using a well constructed validated questionnaire. Then a full periodontal examination and x-ray evaluation will be done for all of the participants.
The main objective of the study is to assess the knowledge and practice of periodontal health, which will be done using a well constructed and validated questionnaire. Then periodontal health status of all participants will be assessed via clinical examination of certain teeth.
The aim of this study to evaluate the vascular endothelial growth factor level and thiol/disulphide homeostasis in saliva of diabetic children with gingivitis.
