Filter by:Bruxism is a non-functional repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by grinding or clenching the teeth. Bruxism, characterized by the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, is a prevalent parafunctional habit affecting individuals of all ages. Stress, anxiety, and depression are the psychological factors most commonly associated with the presence of bruxism.
The aim of this clinical study is; Comparatively comparing salivary Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (SuPAR), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), E-cadherin, galectin 3, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α levels in individuals with different Periodontal Disease Degrees and to evaluate and analyze correlations with clinical parameters. In our study, saliva samples will be taken from a total of 80 systemically healthy volunteers, 20 of patients are periodontal healthy, 20 of patients have degree A periodontitis, 20 of patients have degree B periodontitis and 20 of patients have degree C periodontitis, along with the measurement of whole mouth clinical parameters. Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (SuPAR), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), E-cadherin, galectin 3, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α levels in the samples taken will be subjected to enzyme-related immunoassay ( It will be determined by ELISA). Cytokine levels between different groups will then be interpreted as a result of statistical analysis. Possible significant differences shed light on future studies with Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (SuPAR), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), E-cadherin, galectin 3, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α. These cytokines may help develop different diagnostic methods or treatment strategies in future periodontal treatments.
The investigators will conduct a 2-arm 6-month randomized clinical controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral Telehealth Intervention (THI) in preventing cancer-related oral complications, improving oral health maintenance and oral health related quality of life, and reducing systemic inflammation compared to Usual Care (UC) among unselected cancer survivors.
In Western countries, one of the major nutritional challenges requires reducing the proportion of animal proteins and increasing the proportion of vegetable proteins in the daily plate. Added to this nutritional challenge is an environmental challenge, with plant proteins being much less expensive to produce. However, plant proteins are mainly provided by cereals and legumes, a large diversity of which is necessary to cover the recommended daily intake of amino acids. However, given the collapse of cultivated biodiversity (loss of 75% in 100 years, FAO), the diversity of the supply is very reduced. Furthermore, for several years, public health studies have indicated a chronic deficit in micronutrients (minerals/trace elements, vitamins, antioxidants) as well as fiber in the diet of the French population. This comes in particular from the impoverishment of the nutritional quality of the fruits/vegetables/cereals/legumes consumed. In general, diet plays a major role in the primary prevention of chronic diseases (cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer) including periodontal disease. Thus, a diet low in sugars, saturated fats and rich in fiber would reduce the appearance of periodontal disease by strengthening salivary capacity. However, certain pathogenic periodontal bacteria (such as Porphyromonas gingivalis) can migrate (blood, digestive or respiratory routes) to reach other organs and represent a risk factor for other chronic diseases. Thus, the prevention of periodontal diseases through diet control would also contribute to the prevention of other chronic diseases. The benefit of plant-based diets to reduce the risk of cancer is now established. In addition, certain cereals such as spelled have superior nutritional qualities to common wheat, notably their protein content and they also contain higher quantities of certain bioactive compounds with anti-cancer properties (such as phytosterols). Furthermore, the potential impact of the oral microbiota on chronic diseases is now being studied: in healthy adults, a dysbiotic periodontal microbiota may be likely to lead to systemic para-inflammation. It has also been shown that a dietary change (Mediterranean diet) could lead to a reduction in pathogenic bacteria in the oral microbiota (including P. gingivalis). However, the link between the introduction of cereals into the diet and the evolution of cancer risk factor bacteria in the oral microbiota has never been demonstrated. This pilot clinical study plans to focus on the oral microbiota, with the aim of objectivizing a possible link between a modification of the diet by the introduction of cereals (einkorn type) and the evolution of certain bacteria of this microbiota. , notably P. gingivalis (but also T. forsythia, S. anginosus, A. actinomycetemcomitans, T. denticola and F. nucleatum), considered as cancer risk factors and thus observe an improvement in health status oral and general.
The goal of this pilot study is to describe the early wound healing molecular events and the vascularization pattern associated with the treatment of supra-bony defects with access flap alone or in association with a combined formulation of hyaluronic acid and polydeoxyribonucleotides gel.
Periodontal diseases are disease processes involving the periodontium, a term used to describe the supportive apparatus surrounding the tooth, which includes the gingival tissue, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. Thyme honey, as a conventional therapy, might be a novel antioxidant to abate many of the diseases directly or indirectly associated with oxidative stress. To the best of the researchers' knowledge, there are no published studies on the management of periodontitis in using locally delivered Thyme honey.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the ability of Periodontists, Clinicians with Expertise in Periodontics and General Dental Practitioners to diagnose periodontitis using the 2017 AAP / EFP World Workshop classification of periodontal diseases. The purpose of this study is to conduct a online survey in order to: 1. investigate Italian dentists' knowledge on the new classification of periodontal diseases. 2. evaluate the reliability of the diagnosis between different examiners in classifying periodontitis; 3. evaluate the accuracy of the use of grading in the diagnosis of periodontitis; 4. evaluate diagnostic accuracy of staging application in classifying periodontitis.
Aim of this prospective study is to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to diagnose furcation involvement (FI) in molars in patients with periodontitis. The focus is on the differentiation of grad II and III according to Hamp et al. 1975. 140 molars (70 upper and 70 lower) will be investigated with CBCT and MRI. Due to the absence of ionic radiation MRI might be a radiation free diagnostic tool to assess FI in the future without harmful radiation for the patient. Patients of the Dental Clinic, Medical University of Vienna, who need a CBCT and have a clinically diagnosed FI can be a participant of this clinical trial and do in addition to their CBCT a MRI. The accuracy of MRI will be compared to the diagnostic gold standard CBCT. If patients need additional periodontal treatment, e.g., periodontal surgery, a subgroup will also be analysed with intraoperative measurements.
The study purposes For periodontal applications, such as diagnosing gingivitis and periodontal disease, artificial intelligence (AI) models have been developed; however, their accuracy and technological maturity are to be evolved. The applications of such technologies in the field of periodontics are walking baby steps worldwide. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is moving fast in technology adoption and implementation in different sectors. However, the healthcare sector, especially clinical-related, needs original research applied to Saudi subjects. The literature in the field of machine learning applications in dentistry is limited. Although AI models for periodontology applications are still being developed, they could serve as potent diagnostic instruments. The current study was planned to add to the current gap in the literature.
