Filter by:The neurological disorders that accompany aging represent a major public health problem. The management of these diseases is a major medical and social priority. This project is based on the assumption that the oral cavity represents a privileged observation space to address these issues. The mouth is a site of easy access for painless sampling; there is therefore a major interest in identifying early oral infectious markers of the development or evolution of senile dementia. In addition to the interest of an early oral diagnosis, the mapping of the oral microbial flora in the demented elderly would allow a better understanding, prevention or even control of the evolution of neurodegenerative diseases. The final objective of our approach is to characterize the oral pathogens, or more probably the group of oral pathogens, which are significantly associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Antibiotics are currently used in periodontology to specifically target the most pathogenic bacteria in subgingival biofilms and to improve treatments. The multiplicity of protocols / dosages tested and the variability of the results did not make it possible to reach an international consensus on antibiotic therapy and its cost / benefit ratio, in particular with regard to the significant side effects of taking antibiotics (resistance bacterial). The care environment as well as the clinical, biological and microbiological parameters can strongly influence the results in usual treatment.
This is a laboratory-based study and it aims to evaluate the expression of inflammasomes in healthy gingiva and in the presence of peri-implantitis and periodontitis
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is associated with photosensitizing agents which promote the generation of free radicals and singlet oxygen, which are cytotoxic to certain bacteria. Leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) has been used extensively in the treatment of intrabony defects and achieved excellent results. It acts as an immune regulation node with inflammation control abilities, including a slow continuous release of growth factors which stimulates periodontal regeneration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the adjunctive effects of aPDT with and without L-PRF in aggressive periodontitis patients.
Regeneration of periodontal tissues is the primary goal of periodontal surgery regenerative procedures. Most techniques include an incision of the interdental papilla associated with defect. That may impair the volume and integrity of interdental tissues. Azzi et al. proposed a novel technique (Entire Papilla Preservation Technique, EPPT) for bone regeneration to secure the integrity of interdental papillae. This study will search for differences in regeneration therapy of isolated interdental intrabony between Modified Entire Papilla Preservation Technique (MEPPT) alone and combined with EMD, demineralised freeze- dried bone allograft and sCTG. Moreover the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical applicability and one- year outcomes in the regenerative treatment of isolated deep intrabony defects.
Calcium hydroxide is advocated as an intracanal medication for various purposes, including prevention of post-treatment symptoms. Calcium hydroxide has a pain-controlling effect at different times when compared to non-intracanal medication . Aim: The aim of the study to compare between postoperative pain after using two formulations of calcium hydroxide intracanal medication with and without iodoform .
The effect of vitamin C supplementation on GCF total oxidant capacity in smoker patients with periodontitis following non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases, which is characterized by alveolar bone resorption and destruction. In China, as a major country in the incidence of periodontitis, there is a huge population of patients with severe periodontitis, and the incidence rate is as high as 12.1-16.1% . Previous studies have suggested that the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease increase with age. However, recent articles on meta analysis and related epidemiological investigations suggest that the prevalence of severe periodontitis does not increase with age, and the prevalence of SP remains at about 10% even in the elderly. In order to comprehensively analyze the risk factors of this population, it is inseparable from the analysis of gene polymorphism. At present, it is considered that the main genes that may be related to the severity of periodontitis are IL-1 α-889, rhIL-talk 1 β + 3953, 6-174, 10-597, CD14-260, CD14-159, MMP1-1607 and so on, which may be related to the severity of periodontitis.
Guided tissue regeneration(GTR) uses membranous materials to shield gingival epithelial cells and connective tissue cells which grow more rapidly, creating an effective closed space and time for periodontal ligament cells with regenerative potential, so that new cementum is formed on the root surface and periodontal ligament fibers are embedded, resulting in regenerative healing. In order to improve the effect of periodontal regeneration therapy, as early as 1990s, scholars began to mix platelet concentrate and bone graft in periodontal regenerative surgery to improve the ability of local bone induction and tissue healing. Studies have shown that platelet concentrate, which is rich in a variety of growth factors in autologous blood, can promote soft tissue and bone tissue healing by acting on tissue healing cells (osteoblasts, epithelial cells, connective tissue cells, etc.). It is closely related to periodontal regeneration; the regenerative component of platelet concentrate, growth factor, and the structure of fibrin network containing growth factor are the key to promote tissue repair and regeneration.Modified platelet-rich fibrin (advanced platelet rich fibrin,APRF) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) are the latest generation of platelet concentrates. A number of studies have shown that APRF and CGF contain more cytokines, have a denser fibrin network, and show stronger ability to promote the migration and proliferation of gingival fibroblasts, suggesting that both of them may have better ability to promote bone tissue healing. At present, the latest generation of platelet concentrate has been widely used in implant surgery, but their clinical effects in periodontal regeneration surgery are still lack of conclusive evidence. there is no report on comparing the clinical effects of the two through randomized clinical controlled trials.
The aim of this study is to assess the levels of neuregulin-4 and its receptor ErbB4 in the GCF and saliva in stage III and IV periodontitis patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus.
