Filter by:The present study aimed to evaluate the distribution of NLRP3, AIM2, and IFI16 inflammasome gene polymorphisms in individuals with Stage III Grade B and C periodontitis and periodontally healthy individuals. 80 periodontally healthy, 80 Stage III Grade B and 80 Stage III Grade C periodontitis patients will be enrolled. Blood samples will be collected from each participants and clinical parameteres will be recorded for whole mouth. DNA isolation will be performed from all samples. The SNP regions with the numbers rs4612666, rs75985579, and rs2793845 will be detected from DNA material using Real-Time PCR device genotyping kits. Data will be analyzed using statistical tests.
In order to determine the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases, the levels of various cytokines are analysed in tissues and fluids taken from the body. In various publications, the role of the glycoprotein sNRP-1 on inflammatory diseases and the relationship between smoking and periodontal diseases have been investigated. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the levels of this biomarker in the saliva of smokers with systemically healthy periodontitis and non-smokers with systemically healthy periodontitis, gingivitis and periodontal disease and to compare the concentration differences with CRP. Another aim is to show the effect of nicotine exposure rate on all these by measuring cotinine levels. In our study, all oral clinical parameters of 80 patients, including 20 systemically healthy, non-smoking and periodontally healthy patients, 20 patients with gingivitis, 20 patients with periodontitis; 20 systemically healthy, smoking patients with periodontitis, will be measured and saliva samples will be taken from the patients. The sNRP-1, cotinine and CRP levels in the samples will be determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). Then, statistical analyses will be performed and the difference in the levels of biomarkers between the groups will be interpreted. Possible significant differences between the levels of these biomarkers may reveal that sNRP-1 can be used as a diagnostic tool in periodontal diseases or as a guide for treatments to be performed and may reveal a new perspective on the relationship between periodontitis and smoking.
Three types of papilla incision in periodontal reconstruction techniques will be compared.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate photodynamic therapy and photobiomodulation in the periodontitis treatment. To evaluate the clinical and microbiological response of conventional periodontal treatment associated with photodynamic therapy and photobiomodulation with red or infrared laser. Participants will receive periodontal treatment carried out with the use 0.005% methylene blue and laser therapy (photodynamic therapy), associated with conventional periodontal treatment, as well as the use of photobiomodulation with red or infrared laser associated with conventional periodontal treatment in participants with periodontitis. So, twenty periodontitis patients will be selected and separated in two groups compared with placebo. Clinical and microbiological parameters will be evaluated at baseline and 3 months after periodontal treatment: plaque Index, bleeding on probe, probing depth, gingival recession and clinical attachment level.
The aim of this study is; detection of Galectin-8, Galectin-9 and RANKL levels in saliva 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 saliva were obtained from 60 systemically 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 Galectin-8, Galectin-9 and RANKL levels in the biological samples.
: The aim of this study is; detection of Adseverin,1-alpha Defensin,sRANKL(soluble RANKL) levels in saliva 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 saliva were obtained from 60 systemically 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 Adseverin,1-alpha Defensin,sRANKL(soluble RANKL) levels in the biological samples.
The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of LANAP to conventional scaling and root planing in the management of stage II periodontitis.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the immediate effectiveness of 3D intra-oral scanners and standard oral hygiene instructions in improving the oral hygiene of 52 subjects. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does a 3D intra-oral scanner facilitate the improvement of oral hygiene in subjects? - Does a 3D-rendered image of plaque-stained teeth confer better visualization to subjects? Prospective Open Cohort study: Patients referred to NUCOHS Periodontology Department will be invited to participate in the study. Included participants will be randomized into the 3D scanner (test) and standard oral hygiene (control) group. Subsequently, both groups will receive personalized oral hygiene instructions before brushing their teeth. The participants will receive plaque disclosing again to compare the differences between baseline and post-intervention. Routine periodontal parameters will be recorded at baseline and researchers will compare the percentage improvement in full mouth plaque scores to see if the test group performed better than the control group. A questionnaire will be given to subjects in the test and control group for qualitative analysis. The study will require 1 visit.
The current trial aim was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the changes around dental implants inserted immediately in maxillary anterior esthetic zone using a novel combination of autogenous demineralized tooth graft. with autogenous demineralized tooth plate and compared this approach to autogenous demineralized tooth graft. The present study included 63 patients, aged 20 to 45, with teeth that needed to be extracted. After Kafrelsheikh University research ethics committee approval, patients were randomized into 3 groups: group I patients underwent immediate implantation with Duo-Teck membrane, while group II patients underwent the same procedure, but the dehisced bone defect was grafted by autogenous demineralized tooth graft. finally group III was grafted by combination of autogenous demineralized tooth graft. with autogenous demineralized tooth plate.
Periodontitis is highly prevalent and rarely detected and treated in the earlier stages of the disease. Orthopantomography (OPG) is the most frequently taken dental radiograph around the world, and its systematic screening may contribute to early detection of periodontitis and access to the needed level of care. The investigators' recent study initially developed an AI-clinical knowledge-based system for automatic periodontitis diagnosis and indicated good performance for differentiating stage II-IV periodontitis. This cross-sectional diagnostic study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of this AI-clinical knowledge-based hybrid system (Index test) with human experts (reference test) for differentiating stage II-IV periodontitis using the OPG images obtained from different 4 centers around the world.
