Filter by:The aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine intracanal medicament along with periodontal treatment in concomitant endodontic periodontal lesions with communication in terms of periodontal healing. Forty-seven patients were randomly divided into: group 1: conventional endodontic treatment with open flap debridement (OFD after 3 month of endodontic treatment) were performed, in group 2: endodontic treatment with 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX) as an intracanal medicament placed in root canals and after 3 month OFD were performed. Primary outcome variables included probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing.
Background: Aim of this randomized controlled parallel-designed study was to evaluate the effects of diode laser as an adjunct to mechanical periodontal treatment on clinical parameters and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume of the residual pockets diagnosed following initial periodontal treatment in chronic periodontitis (CP) patients. Methods: A total of 84 residual pockets on single-rooted teeth in 11 CP patients were included and randomly assigned into 3 groups. Residual pockets were treated either only by mechanical treatment (Group M) (n=28), only by diode laser disinfection (Group L) (n=28) or by combination of these techniques (Group M+L) (n=28). Plaque index, gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BoP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level and gingival recession were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks after treatment of residual pockets. GCF samples were collected at baseline, 1 and 8 weeks after treatment.
The main purpose of the trial is to investigate the effect of locally delivered ciclosporin as an adjunct to non-surgical mechanical debridement in the treatment of chronic periodontitis and to compare it to mechanical debridement alone.
The use of autogenous graft materials has been recorded to be a gold standard in regenerative therapy. This study directed toward evaluation of two autogenous regenerative materials, marginal periosteal pedicle graft (MPP) and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) as membrane barriers for treating intrabony defects. In spite of its reported significant clinical outcomes, the limited availability of the periosteum makes it necessary to evaluate other autogenous alternatives such as PRF that could offer predictable outcomes.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease and a significant risk factor for tooth loss. While a link between diet and periodontal health exists, the relationship between diet and healing following periodontal therapy has yet to be investigated.The objective of this study was to determine if higher intakes of foods and nutrients with antioxidant or anti-inflammatory activity are associated with reduced probing depth following sanative therapy. Sanative therapy is a first line cost-effective treatment to manage periodontal disease and thus prevent tooth loss. Patients with chronic generalized periodontitis undergoing sanative therapy were recruited for the study. Mean probing depth was assessed at baseline and 8-16 weeks following sanative therapy. Dietary intakes of fruits, vegetables, vitamins and dietary fats were estimated using the Block 2005 food frequency questionnaire and supplement use was recorded using a questionnaire. A small venous blood sample was also collected at baseline to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations.
Aim of the present study is evaluate the use of erythritol powder with/without the adjunct of local metronidazole in the treatment of periodontal pockets. 20 consecutive adult periodontal patients, requiring cause-related therapy as phase 1 of their treatment plan, and presenting ≥4 sites with probing pocket depth ≥4mm will be enrolled. For each patients four sites will be considered for the study, and two sites will be allocated in the test group and two sites will be allocated in the control group. In the test group, ultrasonic debridement of the pocket will be performed using a piezoceramic ultrasonic device with the a tip connected to the handpiece for 5 minutes/pocket. Then, it will be followed by the subgingival use of erythritol powder 2x5 seconds/pocket. At this time the subgingival delivery of metronidazole gel will be provided. In the control group, the same protocol will be used except for the use of a placebo instead of metronidazole. After instrumentation, patients will rinse with chlorhexidine 0.20% 3 times/day for 2 weeks. At baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months the following parameters will be evaluated: Probing Pocket depth (PPD), Bleeding on Probing (BoP), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL).
In this Randomized clinical trial locally delivered moxifloxacin in situ gel was evaluated as an adjunct to scaling and root planing for efficacy in the treatment of chronic periodontitis and for short-term effects on the periodontal microflora.
One of the most important elements suggested to be provided through membrane perforations to augment regeneration are cell released growth factors from the overlying periosteal and gingival cells. A direct correlation could exist between the number of such cells and their available released growth factors. To test this assumption, this study was designed to evaluate levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during the early stages of healing for sites treated by MPM compared to that of the occlusive barrier membranes.
In an ongoing study new dental patients are screened to determine their risk of having undiagnosed pre-diabetes or diabetes based on risk factors readily known by the patient and signs of gum disease. Investigators further seek to assess if a post-identification intervention leads to a greater likelihood of study participants identified as potentially pre-diabetic or diabetic visiting their physician regarding their screening blood test results, and to improved health outcomes.
