Filter by:Routine non surgical periodontal thearpy often fails to achieve complete elimination of pathogenic microorganism. This could be attiributable to deep periodontal pockets, root concavities, furcation involvement etc. Systemic and local antimicrobials have been used adjunctively with scaling and root planning to optimize the results. They have their own draw backs namely antibiotic resistance and narrow spectrum of action over periodontal pathogens. In the last decade lasers applications have diversified occupying greater part of the periodontal treatment strategies. Photodynamic thearpy has shown conflicting results as a adjunctive thearpy. The routinely used dyes are Methyelene blue, indocyanine green and rose bengal .These dyes are difficult to procure and may not be economical . Hydrogen peroxide due to its super radicals has a local antimicrobial effect. Since hydrogen peroxide can be easily available in a clinical setting and is cost effective. It could be used for photodisinfection . From the near-infrared spectrum lasers, the Nd-YAG laser can remove periodontal pathogens because of its thermal effect. However, changes in the neighboring tissues can be attributed to these unwanted thermal effects. The diode lasers that belong to the 655-980 nm spectrum could represent a safer alternative.Because of the transmission or scattering effect on hydroxyapatite, diode lasers have no effect on calculus. Anaerobic bacterial species intermedia produce black pigments in Brucella media from blood agar. Hemoglobin in the soft periodontal tissues behaves like a chromophore, being absorbed by the diode laser. Photoactivated procedure use photolysis of hydrogen peroxide with 810nm laser. It acts as an endogenous dye, which can increase the laser effect at this level and also generate ROS stopped immediately after the laser irridation. Therefore, the diode laser stimulation of 3%hydrogen peroxide has been utilized adjuvantive to SRP to optimize clinical outcome.
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.
The aim of this randomized, single-masked, controlled clinical trial study was to determine if the administration of electro acupuncture improves the outcomes obtained in combination with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Participants will get non-surgical periodontal therap with/without electro acupuncture. Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application clinical periodontal parameters,serum and saliva cytokine levels.
The commensal oral bacteria are responsible for the initiation and propagation of the disease through the process of dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance. The disease proceeds cyclically with periods of activity and quiescence until therapeutic action is taken, or the tooth and surrounding structures are destroyed by the disease process that may result in the loss of the tooth. As periodontal disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, a greater number of anaerobic organisms colonize deeper periodontal pockets, such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, which triggers the host inflammatory response. This response includes the production and dissemination of C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of inflammation, as well as various neutrophil and macrophage compounds such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and interleukins (IL-1 and IL-8). An elevated serum CRP level suggests that the inflammation arising as a result of periodontitis may correlate with cardiovascular pathology. Additionally, smoking creates an increasingly favorable environment for the growth of periodontal pathogens, thus furthering the disease process. In recent meta-analysis, published articles on the effect of saffron supplementation on three inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6) were evaluated. Combining eight eligible trials, it was demonstrated that saffron supplementation did not have a significant effect on serum levels of the three inflammatory biomarkers. However, in the subgroup analysis, saffron was found to significantly reduce CRP and TNF-α serum concentrations
The main objective is to analyze post-surgical periodontal healing after conventional periodontal surgery where an absorbable suture coated with clorhexidine (Novosyn Clorhexidine) versus conventional sutures without chlorhexidine (Novosyn) will be used a pilot randomized clinical study has been designed. Up to authors´ knowledge until now there are no studies to evaluate periodontal healing after periodontal surgery in combination with this kind of sutures.
The goal of this randomized, controlled, single-center study is to compare the effects of Emdogain®, a regenerative biomaterial, on post-operative pain, wound healing and inflammation of treated sites after surgical crown lengthening. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of Emdogain® in conjunction with crown lengthening surgery improve post-operative soft-tissue healing, decrease inflammation and reduce patient perception of pain compared to crown lengthening without addition of Emdogain®? The treatment group will receive Emdogain® during surgery, and the control group will undergo standard crown lengthening without Emdogain®.
the summary is to evaluate The Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy as an Adjunct to Non-surgical Therapy on Inducible Nitrous Oxide Synthase Salivary Levels in Different Age Groups of Chronic Periodontitis Patients
There is a known correlation between oral health and systemic disease. Particularly significant evidences associate periodontal bacteria and tooth loss to systemic disorders and specifically to cardiovascular disease, such as high BP. Furthermore, a correlation between periodontal disease and hypertension has been recently reported ESRD and the medications used by those patients create complications in a variety of systems and organs, which frequently worsens or causes new pathologies in the oral cavity, such as caries, periodontal disease, and different mucosal lesions. Therefore, the current trial was set up to first evaluate the effect of thyme honey oral rinse in ESRD patients with periodontitis using CAL as a primary objective, and to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of thyme honey oral rinse in ESRD patients with periodontitis on bleeding on probing (BOP) and plaque index, and salivary NO levels as secondary objectives.
The scientific literature has verified that coconut oil has properties that open perspectives for its application in order to maintain oral health and, in particular, for the treatment of different oral pathologies. Thus, the purpose of this project is summarized in the following objectives: 1. Determine in vitro the biocompatibility of coconut oil. 2. Determine in vivo the clinical effect of coconut oil as an adjunct treatment for periodontal disease.
This study is being performed to compare different methods of visualization during routine gum surgery. The gum surgery is standard of care. This study will compare the use of a small camera (videoscope) in conjunction with magnification glasses during surgery vs. surgery only using magnification glasses. Both methods are routinely used and are standard of care methods of visualization. The small camera (videoscope) is a device which allows us to see the area under high magnification and projects live video feed on a computer screen. The study is a split-mouth design pilot study. The patients are only receiving treatment that was previously diagnosed prior to entering the study. The treatment performed is standard treatment that fits in the routine standard of care. No interventional treatment is being performed. The only difference is the method of visualization/observation by the practitioner used during the surgical procedure. One side of the mouth will be treated with just loupes while the other side of the mouth will be treated with loupes and the videoscope.
