Filter by:The reduced rate of success experienced in the treatment of Furcation involvement (FI) seems to result from the incomplete removal of subgingival plaque and calculus in the interradicular area owing to the peculiar anatomy of the furcation space. Regarding the therapeutic approach, although FI treated with a conservative approach may not yield the same satisfactory results as single rooted teeth; it has been shown that teeth with FI have a remarkable survival rate following conservative treatment in patients demonstrating a satisfactory plaque control. Minimally invasive techniques aim to retain the preoperative gingival architecture, create a minimal wound and gently handle soft and hard tissues. It becomes imperative to see the differences in clinical, and patient centered outcomes of minimally invasive non- surgical versus surgical technique in the management of furcation involvement in mandibulae molar.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of an AR dental care training in health education on periodontal status, blood sugar control and quality of life in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AR group (EG-AR), AR health consulting group (EG-ARHC) and control group (CG), respectively. The EG-AR and EG-ARHC received AR dental care training intervention 2 to 3 times during non-surgical periodontal treatment. Baseline and follow-up surveys were used to collect the data in periodontal index, blood sugar data, oral health knowledge, attitudes, behavior, oral health related quality of life.
Aim of the study: 1. To investigate changes in the levels of Interleukin 34 (IL-34) in the Gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) of patients with stage II periodontitis patients before and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy and compare it with healthy individuals 2. To correlate changes in Gingival crevicular fluid level of Interleukin 34 with changes in periodontal parameters after nonsurgical periodontal therapy
Study aimed at evaluating the impact on oral health of the "Ley del Paquete de Salud Bucal" (daily school brushing program) combined, or not, with the application of fluoride varnish in schoolchildren from 6 to 8 years old who attend public elementary schools in Mérida, Mexico. with a two-year follow-up (2023-2025).
Background: There are epidemiological and preclinical studies in vivo that support the biological plausibility of the association between periodontal diseases and major depression (DM), through the hypothesis of a "leaky mouth" by periodontitis as a source of neuroinflammation. Therefore, this association should be studied in depth in carefully designed cross-sectional studies in humans to specifically assess this relationship. Objectives: Primary: determine if periodontitis can be associated with the development of DM. Secondary: (1) to estimate the prevalence of periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) in patients with and without DM; (2) to determine whether oral, periodontal, and fecal (bacterial, viral, and fungal) metagenomic microbiomes, inflammatory mediators, and intestinal barrier integrity are associated with periodontal and mental health variables. Material and method: A cross-sectional analytical study with two groups is designed: - Control group (without DM): subjects without known mental health pathologies will be included, who present a PHQ-9 index of 5 or less. They will be recruited from the control group of a population-based study PsychoBioma TRIAD (C.P. PSQ-19-2 - C.I. 19/474-E). They will be matched by age, gender, and socioeconomic status. - Group of cases (MD patients): subjects with moderate DM will be selected, characterized by HPQ9 index values of 9 or higher. They will be selected among those patients who attend the Mental Health consultations associated with the San Carlos Clinical Hospital. The study will consist of three visits: - Visit in Mental Health Consultations: in this visit the subject will be evaluated to determine if he meets the eligibility criteria. You will be informed of the purpose of the study and you will be invited to participate and sign the informed consent. After that, a structured clinical interview for the DSM-IV (SCID) will be conducted and the subject will fill in a series of specific scales on a study-specific electronic device [Beck Depression Inventory (BDI); UCLA Loneliness Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale [CES-D]; Childhood Trauma Questionnaire short form (CTQ-SF); The World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL); Hamilton scale (HAM-D17); Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale]. - Dental School Visit: Subject will receive a comprehensive periodontal examination. A subgingival microbiological sample, a saliva sample and a blood sample will also be taken. The patient will be given a specific vial to collect stool samples. - At the participant's home: the stool samples will be deposited by the participants at home in the specific collection vial.
The best way for dental professionals act using dialogue methods and individual approaches in daily clinical practice to change behavioral is still inconclusive. Thus, the objective will be evaluate the effect of using motivational interviewing as part of the treatment of periodontitis in order to increase the adherence of adults to adequate oral health behavior.

Study the presence of periodontal pathogens in a Catalan population with periodontitis and evaluate the influence of an intervention measure on oral hygiene teaching (video)
Periodontitis, a known complication of diabetes, is an infectious disease that destroys bone and gums. Studies have shown that diabetes favors periodontitis, and that periodontitis contributes to its aggravation. The positive impact of treating periodontitis on the cost of diabetes care has been demonstrated and the French national health system fully covers the treatment of periodontitis for diabetic patients. Unfortunately, 80% of diabetic patients do not visit their dentist enough. Although diabetologists regularly see their patients and are aware of the importance of treating periodontitis,they do not have the expertise to diagnose the condition whereas a specialist dentist can often diagnose it just by looking. This study aims to develop a solution combining the dentist's expertise with that of the diabetologist. This would be based on analysis of a photograph of the patient's oral cavity, taken in the department. So far, no studies have ever evaluated the performance of an expert dentist for diagnosing periodontitis from a simple photograph made by non-dental experts in a diabetic department. The hypothesis is that the concordance in the diagnosis of periodontitis between an indirect method based on a photograph of the oral cavity and a direct method based on clinical examination of this oral cavity (reference) in the diabetic patient would be satisfactory.
Diet can influence the body's healing and repair mechanisms. A dietary imbalance obviously cannot trigger periodontal disease in the absence of a primum movens, which is bacterial plaque. However, it can condition its severity and extent by altering the permeability of the oral mucosa, the effectiveness of the immune response and the reparative potential of the gingival tissues. Nutraceuticals is the science that studies the effects of the so-called food-drug, i.e. those foods that contain substances capable of performing a pharmacological function, modifying the functions of the organism. In particular, some molecules that are assimilated through various foods are able to penetrate the cell nucleus and influence, through an epigenetic mechanism, the expression or otherwise of some genes. The aim of our controlled study is to understand whether a vegetarian/vegan diet can be considered as protective for periodontal health compared to an omnivorous diet. For this purpose, we used a test group of 22 omnivorous subjects and a control group of 22 vegetarian/vegan patients in which experimental gingivitis was induced.
