Filter by:A pioneer periodontal surgical approach employing the closed surgical technique (CST) has been designed to gain access to isolated interdental periodontal defects and retain the soft-tissue architecture. This technique is based on a modified tunnelling technique to retract full-thickness gingival flaps from the osseous defect in a closed manner retaining intact the interproximal papilla thus, suturing is not required. A randomised controlled clinical trial will determine the efficacy of the CST versus the access flap employing papilla preservation techniques over a period of 6 months.
Type of study: Randomised Clinical trial To compare the effectiveness of Mechanical and Chemomechanical methods in the removal of Water-based Calcium hydroxide medicament from endodontic system. Participants allocated in group A and B should be appointed for Endodontic treatment of Single rooted teeth diagnosed with Necrotic Pulp and Chronic Apical Periodontitis. In group A, Calcium hydroxide medicament will be removed by using Mechanical method while in group B, Calcium hydroxide will be removed by using Chemomechanical method.
Objective:The possible association between hypertension and periodontitis and the effect of hypertension on periodontal treatment were investigated by evaluating salivary and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) interleukin (IL)-6 and C reactive protein (CRP) levels. Methods:Forty two healthy individuals without any previously diagnosed systemic disease [10 periodontally healthy (control) and 10 periodontitis (CP)] and subjects with hypertension [13 periodontally healthy (HP) and 9 with periodontitis (CP + HP)] participated in the study. GCF and saliva samples were obtained at baseline and four weeks after Phase I periodontal treatment. Biochemical parameters were analyzed using ELISA. Results:Before the periodontal treatment, significantly higher GCF IL-6 and CRP levels were detected in CP+HP and CP groups compared to HP and control groups (p<0.01). Salivary CRP level in CP+HP group was found to be higher than the control group (p<0.05). Statistically significant gingival and plaque index measurements (p<0.01) might suggest a possible effect of hypertension on periodontal status. Periodontal treatment significantly improved the clinical indices, however biochemical parameters did not change after the treatment. Conclusion:the association of hypertension with periodontitis through local salivary and GCF mediators might be possible in disease process.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a probiotic lozenge containing Limosilactobacillus reuteri as an adjunct to the periodontal non-surgical treatment of patients with stage II, grade A, B and C, generalized periodontitis.
in this clinical trial, patients with periodontal defects will be treated with advanced platelet-rich fibrin in conjunction with open debridement
The goal of this observational study is to compare urine iodine levels of participants with/without periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is there a relationship between iodine levels of urine and periodontitis. Participants will give urine samples without any intervention.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by both dysbiosis of oral microbiota and proinflammatory events involving both cells and mediators from innate and adaptive immunity. These events lead to chronic inflammation of periodontal soft and hard tissues sharing many features with other chronic inflammatory diseases. These events lead to chronic inflammation of periodontal soft and hard tissues sharing many features with other chronic inflammatory diseases. Chronic inflammation is driven by various mediators, of which a significant part is attributed to the interactions within cytokine networks. While proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL) -1α, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-17, contribute to acute and chronic inflammation and tissue injury, a second group with antagonist effects is formed by cytokines such as IL-10
Following the randomization procedure, patients will be divided into 2 groups (12 immature molars in each group): Group I will be treated with MTA as apical plug, whereas group II will be treated with Biodentine as apical plug. After working length determination, instrumentation and sterilizing root canals, apical plug will be done as following: Biodentine Group: Biodentine will be placed into the apical portion of canals. After 12 min the coronal and middle third of the root canal will be filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus. The coronal restoration will be completed with GIC, composite, and stainless-steel crown. MTA Group: MTA will be placed into the apical portion of canals, then a moist cotton pellet will be placed and the access cavity will be restored with temporary filling. Next day, temporary filling and the cotton pellet will be removed, then the coronal restoration will be performed as Biodentine group. Patients of both groups will be recalled for clinical and radiographical follow-up within 12 months after treatment.
The aim of this study is to compare the dimensional changes of the gingiva due to initial periodontal therapy in non-smokers and cigarette smokers and to compare the oral health related quality of life of non-smokers and cigarette smokers with periodontitis before and after initial periodontal therapy. Changes in gingival volume are expected to be greater in non-smokers than in cigarette smokers. It is expected that the quality of life will be better after therapy in both groups, with better results in the non-smoking group. 60 subjects with periodontitis will be included in the study 30 non-smokers and 30 cigarette smokers. All subjects will fill out a quality of life questionnaire which will be validated before the onset of this research. This will be followed by clinical periodontal examination. After examination, the upper and lower jaw will be scanned using an intraoral scanner and initial periodontal therapy will be performed. After 8 weeks, subjects will fill out the quality of life questionnaire again, measurement of periodontal indices and scanning will be performed. The digital scans wll be superimposed, and the dimensional changes of the gingiva will be quantified and compared between the two groups. By using 3D technology, it will be possible to objectively quantify tissue changes and monitor the course of the disease. A 3D comparison between non-smokers and cigarette smokers will provide a new perspective on the relationship between smoking and periodontitis. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated to what extent smoking affects the quality of life of patients with periodontitis and the results of non-surgical therapy.
Aim of the present study was to determine the intraradicular microbiota of previously root canal-treated teeth with apical periodontitis using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and to investigate the antibacterial effectiveness of different irrigation activation methods [ Sweeps laser and PUI group ] that will make classical chemomechanical preparation more effective. This superiority, parallel, randomized clinical trial was conducted in the clinic of the Endodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul Medipol University, Istanbul. 30 patients with apical periodontitis (one tooth each) were randomly allocated into two groups according to the used (n=15, for each): the Sweeps laser group (A) or the vdw ultra group (B). Total bacterial loads, as well as the amount of Enterococcus faecalis (E.faecalis) were determined before (S1) and after (S2) chemomechanical preparation and finally, after intracanal medication (S3) by means of ddPCR.
