Filter by:A parallel-armed, sham-controlled, and participant-blind pilot study will be conducted to determine the safety and effectiveness of use of a noninvasive intraoral electrotherapy device to treat periodontal disease. A total of 30 patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The trial was comprised of three in-office oral examinations, which were performed at baseline, and at follow-ups～6 weeks (42 days ± 3 days) and～3months (84 days ± 3 days later).
To evaluate the effect of adjunctive systemic administration of melatonin to mechanical non- surgical periodontal therapy in obese patients with periodontitis.
Evaluation of personalized oral hygiene education on plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation in periodontal patients stage I/II/III. Evaluation of personalized oral hygiene education on clinical attachment level in periodontal patients stage I/II/III. Evaluation of personalized oral hygiene education on the psychological determinants described by the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) and the mediating role of these psychological determinants in oral hygiene habits and clinical parameters in periodontal patients stage I/II/III.
Although the well-known detrimental effects of conventional cigarette smoking on oral health, there are still lack of evidences about the impact of less harmful alternatives (such as electronic cigarettes or heat not burn products), especially in young smokers with clinical absence of signs of moderate to severe periodontitis. This study aims to investigate whether cigarette smokers who switch to combustion-free nicotine delivery systems (C-F NDS) undergo measurable improvements in oral health parameters and teeth appearance, comparing short- and long-term impact on periodontal health between smokers continuing with conventional cigarette smoking, those switching to combustion-free nicotine delivery systems (C-F NDS), and never-smokers. The investigator propose a prospective, multicenter, interventional, open label, randomized, controlled, three parallel-arms study assessing oral health parameters and teeth appearance of 18 months duration.
The aims of this research are to determine if vertical bitewings will be more effective and more comprehensive for the diagnosis of caries and the level of alveolar bone loss than the horizontal bitewing technique for the patients at King Abdulaziz University over the age of 18. This is a cross sectional study. All the images in this study will be conducted at School of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University. Each patients will be exposed to 4 horizontal bitewing for posterior teeth ( standard of care ) and 4 vertical bitewing for the same area ( experimental ). The radiographs will be processed digitally. All the x ray will be taken using the standard protection protocol.
Treated hypertensive patients with any form of periodontal diseases will be randomized to either supragingival dental plaque removal using electric toothbrushes at home or intensive professional oral hygiene treatment and the effects on blood pressure will be identified.
The primary objective of this study is to: Part 1 - Baseline Comparisons The primary objective of Part 1 is to: Investigate the association between SLE and a measures of vascular health (brachial artery flow-mediated dilatyation) in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and a healthy periodontium compared to patients with SLE and Periodontitis (PD) Part 2 - Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial To assess the effect of Periodontal Treatment (PT) on the endothelial function in a population of patients suffering from SLE and PD. Secondary Secondary objectives include: Part 1 - Baseline Comparisons The secondary objectives of Part 1 are to investigate the association of: - Inflammatory biomarkers in saliva and blood and periodontal status in patients with SLE and PD and those with SLE and a healthy periodontium - The oral microbiome using plaque analysis and periodontal status in patients with SLE and PD and those with SLE and a healthy periodontium Part ParPa Part 2 - Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluate the effect of PT on biomarkers of SLE disease severity/progression in a population of patients suffering from SLE and PD. Evaluate the effect of PT on the B cell panel in a population of patients suffering from SLE and PD. Evaluate effect of PT on the systemic inflammatory and oxidative profile of a population of patients suffering from SLE and PD. Evaluate effect of PT on skin lesions in a population of patients suffering from SLE and PD.
Generalized aggressive Periodontitis (GAgP) and chronic periodontitis (CP) are inflammatory diseases. Little is known about molecular changes and signaling cascade of host response. Inflammatory diseases are undercontrol of genetic and enviromental factors. Transcription factors are gene-specific factors that are often considered to act as a link connecting genetic and enviromental factors. The aim of this study is to investigate the gene regions that are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of GAgP and CP, and to interpret new and reliable pathognomonic-prognostic markers in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases with the help of expression and mutation analyzes and polymorphism studies.
The elimination of the pathogenic microorganisms of the periodontal pocket is one of the main points for success in periodontal treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical and antimicrobial effect of papain-mediated photodynamic therapy in the clinical treatment of periodontal disease. Twenty patients with chronic periodontitis will be selected. Patients will be divided randomly into two groups (n = 10), and the control group will receive conventional periodontal treatment and group II will receive conventional treatment and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Conventional treatment will consist of oral hygiene guidance, with brushing technique instructions and recommendation of daily flossing. The calculus deposits on the teeth will be removed with ultrasound equipment and curettes for scraping and root planing. The aPDT will be performed at the end of each periodontal treatment session, at sites with bags greater than or equal to 4 mm. The PapaMblue® photosensitizer will be deposited in the periodontal pockets with a syringe and a pre-irradiation time of 1 min will be adopted. Then, the laser emitting wavelength of 660 nm, with power of 100 mW, for 2 min, radiant exposure of 30 J/cm2 and power density of 250 mW/cm2 will be applied. Patients will undergo clinical evaluations before treatment (day 1) and 30, 60 and 90 days after the end of treatment. Microbiological evaluations will be made before and 30 days after treatment. The distribution of the data within each group and the homogeneity of the variances will be verified. With this information, the most appropriate statistical test for each evaluation will be used. The sample calculation is based on the literature and the significance level of 5% will be adopted.
For certain changes in the oral mucosa a histopathological examination of the affected tissue is indicated to confirm the diagnosis. The gold standard is the biopsy by scalpel. The aim of this study is to compare the alternative method of tissue sampling using the erbium doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser with the gold Standard.
