Filter by:A Randomized, controlled clinical trial and split-mouth design was performed to assess and compare the effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on soft tissue healing, periodontal pocket depth and alveolar bone height distal to second molar of the study and control groups after third molar surgical removal. Sample include of participants who had indication of impacted lower third molars extraction on both sides with symmetrically orientation and same difficult index. All participants had same extraction protocol on both side at Department of Oral surgery, Faculty of Odonto-stomatology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City. Soft tissue healing, periodontal pocket depth and distal bone height were evaluation by an independent investigator.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of concomitant antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPTD) on periodontal disease and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Clinical Relevance: aPTD is a noninvasive adjunctive therapy that can positively influence the periodontal treatment outcome.
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the teeth's supporting tissues caused by specific microbes or groups of microorganisms that contributes to gradual deterioration of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, leading to periodontal pockets, gingival recession, or both. Periodontitis is generally known to be caused by the continuous destruction of the surrounding periodontium by complexly organized bacterial communities that colonizes the tooth surface, gingival margin, and subgingival area in the form of dental plaque biofilm. Researchers suggest the dependence of the treatment of periodontal disease on controlling the residual mass of periodontal microbes. Therefore, it is proposed that non-surgical therapy is regarded as the initial treatment of periodontitis, which includes mechanical therapy, such as oral hygiene measures and mechanical debridement like scaling and root planning. Chemical therapy could supplement the non-surgical mechanical therapy, including antimicrobials that can be systemically or locally delivered. Systemic delivery of antimicrobials plays a critical role in reaching microorganisms dispersed in the oral cavity, including those in non-dental oral niches, such as the dorsum of the tongue and crypts of tonsils. Despite these advantages, it might lead to unwanted systemic effects -such as nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort- or bacterial resistance, as it is completely dependent on the patient's adherence. Local Drug Delivery (LDD), compared to systemic administration, provides higher therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics at site of infection that is inaccessible to the systemic route and it is independent of patient's adherence, as has been shown in various studies. Natural products have long been an important source of medications, with natural ingredients accounting for almost half of all pharmaceuticals currently in use. Oriental medicines have been studied for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as periodontal tissue regeneration, in the treatment of periodontal disease. Tea tree oil (TTO), which is an example of one of these natural products, is obtained from paper bark tea tree. Tea tree oil was made from natural bush stands of plants, allegedly Melaleuca alternifolia, that generated oil with the required chemotype during that early stage. Melaleuca alternifolia's native habitat is low-lying, swampy, subtropical coastal ground along the Clarence and Richmond Rivers in northeastern New South Wales and southern Queensland, and it does not occur natively beyond Australia, unlike numerous other Melaleuca species. Tea tree oil, commonly known as "oil of the Tea tree" or "Melaleuca essential oil," is one of the most well-known essential oils. It's made from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree's leaves, which have been distilled. This plant is a member of the Myrtaceae family, which includes Australian arboreal plants. It is known as "nature's most versatile healer" among the native populations. Tea tree oil (TTO) possesses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, and antiprotozoal properties. Components of tea tree oil include: Terpinen-4-ol, α-Terpinene, γ -Terpinene, 1,8-Cineole, α -Terpinolene, p-Cymene, (+)-α-Pinene, α -Terpineol, Aromadendrene, δ -Cadinene, (+)-Limonene, Sabinene, and Globulol. The capacity of TTO components to reduce the production of TNF α, IL-1beta, IL-8, IL-10, and PGE2 by lipopolysaccharide activated human monocytes shows TTO's anti-inflammatory action, according to the researchers. TTO's major active components are 1,8-cineole and Terpinen-4-ol, and it has been shown that 1,8-cineole possesses anti-inflammatory characteristics and may permeate human skin. Other research suggests that Terpinen-4-ol not only has anti-inflammatory characteristics like 1,8-cineol, but also has anti-bacterial capabilities. TTO has the same antibacterial effect as chlorhexidine (CHX), however the mode of action is different. Antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activities are all present. According to researches, TTO is capable of lowering both inflammatory mediators and periodontal pathogens, which in turn reduces the stimulation of inflammatory cytokines, allowing periodontal tissues to repair when applied locally in periodontal pockets. Melaleuca Alternifolia was chosen for this study as a local drug delivery in the gel form to be placed in periodontal pockets as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal debridement for the management of localized periodontitis due to its therapeutic effects, ease of availability of tea tree oil, cost effectiveness, and safety with no adverse reactions.
The goal of this split-mouth clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of Manuka honey applied into periodontal pockets after initial periodontal therapy (NSPT) in the treatment of stage 3 periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is: • does the adjunct of Manuka honey improve the outcome of the non-surgical periodontal treatment. The intervention in this study was conducted in a split-mouth design, meaning that after completing the NSPT for each subject, Manuka honey was administered as an adjunct to the periodontal treatment in two randomly selected quadrants of the oral cavity around the teeth with a specially designed cannula. This was followed by oral hygiene instructions and training. The home-performed oral hygiene procedures were focused on interdental cleaning using dental floss and toothbrushing with regular fluoride-containing toothpaste. The subjects were also instructed not to use any form of oral antiseptic (e.g., chlorhexidine) or antibiotic during the follow-up period.
1. Primary objective To measure the gingival crevicular levels of A.actinomycetemcomitans and P.gingivalis after intra-pocket application of diode laser in severe periodontitis (stage 3 grade C) patients. 2. Secondary objective To compare the levels of the same microorganisms as in cases of diode laser therapy to those after conventional treatment with systemic antibiotic administration in severe periodontitis (stage 3 grade C) patients. 3. to measure clinical parameters probing depth,attachment loss and mobility grade
The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) was to investigate the clinical and biochemical efficacy of a gel containing PDRN and HA used in association with subgingival re-instrumentation in the treatment of residual periodontal pockets.
The aim of the present investigation will be evaluate the healing of periodontal intraosseous defects following Minimally Invasive Non Surgical Debridement (MINSD) and application of a hyaluronic acid-based gel, compared to MINSD alone. A total of 22 patients will be enrolled, selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided in two groups: hyaluronic acid group (HA) and no-hyaluronic acid group (No-HA).
Dental biofilm is a primary etiological factor for periodontal diseases.(1) The bacterial biofilm would induce recruitment of leucocytes, neutrophils, and T lymphocytes and the secretion of antibodies, lipopolysaccharides, and chemical inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines.(2) Thus, periodontal diseases can cause tissue destruction and results in deterioration of clinical parameters measures such as periodontal pockets depth, clinical attachment loss, bleeding on probing, bone destruction, and resulting ultimately in tooth loss.(3)
This study compared the clinical outcomes of the non-incised papila surgical approach (NIPSA) alone and with grafting biomaterial.
Objective: To evaluate the adjunctive effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel in the treatment of residual periodontal pockets over a 12-month period. Materials and Methods: Periodontal patients enrolled in maintenance and presenting at least one periodontal pocket 5-9 mm of depth in the anterior area were recruited from six university-based centers. Each patient was randomly assigned to control treatment with professional mechanical plaque removal (PMPR) and local placebo application or test treatment with the adjunctive use of HA to PMPR. Clinical parameters [i.e. probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BoP), plaque score, recession (REC), and clinical attachment loss (CAL)] and microbiological samples for the investigation of the total bacterial count (TBC) and presence of specific bacterial strains (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum) were taken at baseline and every 3 months, until study termination. PD was determined as the primary outcome variable.
