Filter by:Study conducted in patients recruited at private praxis setting after completed step 2 periodontal therapy. Residual pockets ≥4mm with positive bleeding or such >5mm randomly allocated to either conventional subgingival re-instrumentation (controls) or to same mechanical treatment with adjectively applied hypochlorite/aminoacid gel for antiseptic reason followed by subginigival placement of cross linked hyaluronic acid gel for sealing the site after instrumentation. Re-evaluations at 3 and 9 months controlled for clinical parameters such as Periodontal Probing Depth (PPD) (CAL), Clinical Attachment Level, Gingival Recession (GR), Bleeding on Probing (BOP). The hypothesis is, sites treated with adjunctive protocol show greater PPD reduction and greater CAL gain at 9-month evaluation.
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 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.
Glucosamine (GlcN) is an N-deacetyl amino monosaccharide sugar derived from complete hydrolysis of chitosan in which it is important vector for chondroitin and keratin sulfate, while on the other hand, medicinal plants became a source of great economic benefit worldwide, ginger has been found to have biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. So, these effects which made it a good candidate to be used in periodontal therapy. The main objective of this study is to assess and compare the effect of locally delivered glucosamine sulphate gel versus ginger gel on the clinical parameters in periodontitis patients including Plaque index (PI), Means sulcus bleeding index (MSBI), Probing depth (PD), Clinical attachment loss (CAL). and to detect the effect of locally delivered both gels on RANKL level in gingival crevicular fluid.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of submucosal 8 mg (2 mL) dexamethasone on postoperative pain, swelling, chewing efficiency, trismus, healing, and discomfort after periodontal flap surgery
The current study is a prospective randomised split mouth study to evaluate the effect of concentrated Platelet Rich Fibrin as an adjunct to the scaling and root planing
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficiencies of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), concentrated growth factor (CGF) and autologous bone graft (ABG) in the treatment of patients who have intrabony pockets clinically and to assess the alveolar bone gain (AB gain) radiographically ((Panoramic X-ray and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) X-ray)).
All 16 chronic periodontitis (CP) subjects were clinically examined regarding the following clinical periodontal parameters: plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding index (BI), Pocket Probing Depth (PPD) and Relative Attachment Loss (RAL) which were recorded for all patients at baseline and 3 months after surgical periodontal treatment. Pre- surgical procedure: After the clinical parameters were recorded, Phase I therapy (full mouth scaling, root planning and oral hygiene instructions) was carried out. The patients were then put under observation to assess the oral hygiene practice and the response of the gingival tissue to Phase I therapy. After two weeks, patients were recalled and based on further treatment protocol, periodontal flap surgery was planned. Group A (Test Group) underwent periodontal flap surgery during which placental extract was applied. Group B (Control Group) underwent periodontal flap surgery alone. Surgical procedure The operative sites were anaesthetized with 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with adrenaline (1:180000). Crevicular incisions were made using Bard Parker No.15 blade on the facial and lingual/palatal surface of each tooth segment or area involved. A full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was reflected using periosteal elevator taking care to preserve the maximum amount of tissue in the flap. After exposure the granulation tissue was removed, the root surfaces were planed and the flap was trimmed of tissue tags to facilitate healing. The flap was approximated using interrupted sutures (mersilk 3-0) and a periodontal dressing was placed above it. Local delivery of the placental extract In group A patients (test group) after open flap debridement 1ml of human placental extracts gel (Placentrex - the original research product of Albert David Limited, India, a drug obtained from fresh term healthy human placentae) was dispensed in a dappen dish. Gelatin foam (Abgel, Sri Gopal Krishna Labs, Pvt.Ltd. India) was cut into small beads of 1 sq.mm and allowed to soak in the placental gel for a few seconds. These gelatin beads soaked in gel are placed into the surgical site locally with the help of a graft carrier and condensed into the defect area. To prevent uncontrolled spill-over effects of the gel, mild pressure was applied over the flap with the wet gauze and excess gel was removed and Coe Pak was placed. While in group B(control group), after open flap debridement, this step is omitted. Post-operative care Antibiotics and analgesics are prescribed two times a day for five days. Patients were instructed to refrain from chewing hard or sticky foods, brushing near the treated areas or using any interdental aids for 1 week. The use of mouthwash was avoided during the observation period. All patients were placed on a strict maintenance schedule following surgery. The sutures were removed 10 days later. Recall appointments were scheduled once in 10 days for the 1st month. At every recall appointment, oral hygiene was checked. At 3rd month, the clinical parameters were recorded in both the groups. The difference between pre and post-operative values was assessed and then statistically analysed
Periodontal regenerative therapy has focused on various non-surgical and surgical treatment methods. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has shown to possess multiple uses, including properties that promote healing of both soft and hard tissues. In the present study, we hypothesized that the addition of PRF into periodontal pockets, as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing (SRP), would enhance the outcomes of non-surgical periodontal therapy. This split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial included 26 periodontal pocket sites in 13 patients with periodontitis. The pockets were randomly assigned as either test or control sites. In the test group, PRF was placed as an adjunct to SRP, while the control group received SRP alone. Probing pocket depths (PPD), clinical attachment levels (CAL), gingival recession (GR), plaque index (PI), and gingivitis index (GI) were measured at baseline and at six weeks. The wound healing index was measured during the six-week follow-up period.
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that destroys tooth-supporting structures through oral bacterial plaque. ozone gel's act as an antimicrobial effect as an adjunct to conventional periodontal therapy (scaling and root planning). exposure of bacteria to ozone leads to the oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins that comprise the bacterial cell membrane. Ozone gel has the potential to play an anti-inflammatory role in the treatment of periodontitis by monitoring both clinical and biological parameters.
