Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare the prevalence of peri-implantitis between periodontitis and nonperiodontitis sites treated with alveolar ridge preservation. The main question it aims to answer is: • whether the occurrence of PI is associated with reasons for dental extraction because of periodontitis and nonperiodontitis after alveolar ridge preservation. Researchers will compare the prevalence of peri-implantitis between periodontitis and nonperiodontitis sites treated with alveolar ridge preservation.
The experiment outlined in this proposal is designed to test the hypothesis that herpesvirus suppression by the systemic anti-herpesvirus valacyclovir (Valtrex) can significantly help to arrest the progressive course of severe marginal periodontitis in adult patients. A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, clinical trial is employed to test this hypothesis.
Periodontal diseases are a public health burden in all countries. Hence, Periodontitis is the sixth-most prevalent disease in the world, the most common bone diseases in human and the primary cause for tooth loss in adults leading to significant economic and medical consequences. All disease biomarkers could help to stratify the general population with those at high risk of periodontitis and to enroll them in a rigorous prevention program. Advanced periodontitis has been shown to reduce the quality of life of patients and developing novel biological monitoring protocols will reduce the prevalence of advanced forms of the disease. There are alot of research explaining the different types of inflammatory mediators that could be found in periodontitis patients. But there are a few research have been talking about lipoxin A4 as an inflammatory biomarker that could detect the effect of non surgical periodontal therapy effect on the periodontal health. And the aim of the study is to assess the effect of this non surgical periodontal therapy on the periodontal health by assessing the concentration of this biomarker.
the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease is crucial and has been explained via a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors that influence the host immune tolerance leading to both disease characteristics. The aim of this study is to clinically investigate the correlation between the levels of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in gingival crevicular fluid before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment and the severity of periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients
This study is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in chronic periodontitis with a targeted group of stage III and IV periodontitis. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the method might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
The existence of supracrestal tissue attachment (SCTA) is fundamental for adhesion of the junctional epithelium and insertion of the connective fibers to the dental structure, besides functioning as a barrier against microbial entry in the periodontium. Wide variation in SCTA dimension have been reported in patients with and without periodontitis. If the physiologic dimension of SCTA is violated then it may lead to inflammation in periodontium. Influence of dimension of SCTA on scaling and root planning and open flap debridement procedure has not been investigated till date. Thus the aim of study is to assess the influence of SCTA dimension on the outcome of scaling and root planning followed by open flap debridement in patients with stage 2 and stage 3 periodontitis and also to estimate the SCTA dimension in thick versus thin periodontal phenotype.
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 [ XP-endo Finisher and EndoActivator ] 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. 20 patients with posttreatment apical periodontitis (one tooth each) were randomly allocated into two groups according to the used (n=10, for each): the EA group (A) or the XPF 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.
The aim of the present study is to test if a fasting mimicking diet (FMD) can influence the systemic and periodontal response following non-surgical periodontal therapy. The null hypothesis is that a FMD does not modify the local and systemic inflammatory post-treatment response. The test group will have periodontal treatment followed by fasting mimicking diet while the control group will have the same periodontal treatment and continue with their normal diet. Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) will be recorded.Blood and GCF samples will be taken.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) will be used to determine biochemical parameters in the biological samples.
General Objective : To evaluate the outcome of non surgical periodontal therapy with local drug delivery adjunct to scaling and root planning Specific Objective : To determine the effect of intra-pocket application of hyaluronic acid /chlorohexidine gel in non surgical periodontal treatment on clinical periodontal parameters and microbiological level .
The endodontic periodontal-disease is characterized by the involvement of the pulp and periodontal disease in the same tooth. The anatomic connections between the dental pulp and the periodontium provide a pathway for perio-endo communication via apical foramina, lateral canals, exposed dentinal tubules, and developmental grooves. These pathways provide an egress for pulpal disease to affect the periodontium and conversely, an ingress for periodontal disease to affect the pulp. Teeth with endo-perio disease, which are deemed salvageable might require root canal (endodontic) treatment, followed by staged periodontal treatment. Compared to conventional sealers used for endodontic treatment, the hydraulic calcium silicate based sealers (HCSB)s have excellent sealing ability, biocompatibility, regeneration ability, and antimicrobial characteristics. However little is known about its clinical benefits when used to treat endo-perio disease. The gold standard treatment for periodontitis affected teeth associated with intrabony lesions is guided tissue regeneration (GTR) which has significant improved clinical outcomes over open flap debridement (Cochrane systematic review 2005). However, the success the of this regenerative technique requires careful case and defect selection. We propose the use of an autologous bioactive scaffold, leukocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) to achieve regeneration of periodontal soft and hard tissues, resulting in faster healing, greater bone infill and improved predictability of clinical outcomes
