Filter by:The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the incidence, intensity and duration of postoperative pain following the removal of root canal obturation materials canals using rotary (ProTaper Universal or Hyflex EDM) or reciprocating file (Reciproc Blue or WaveOne Gold) systems. The null hypothesis tested was that there is no difference in postoperative pain following the retreatment procedure between the four systems used.
This clinical study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of biodegradable gelatin sponge loaded with Beta-tricalcium phosphate socked in concentrated growth factors in the treatment of periodontal intra-bony defects, as compared with biodegradable gelatin/beta-tricalcium phosphate sponges alone.
Evaluation of clinical and microbiological effect of lactobacillus reuteri probiotics.
In this study, it is evaluated the effects of laser assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) and low level laser therapy (LLLT) and on clinical, biochemical and radiographic parameters in addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT).
Periodontal diseases are chronic diseases that occur as a result of a violation of the balance between microbial dental plaque and the host response. Gingivitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the gingiva that occurs in one or more areas without loss of attachments.1 in periodontitis, an inflammatory event that begins in the gingiva along with gingivitis spreads to the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and soft tissues that support the tooth, causing the destruction of these structures.2 Cytokines are low molecular weight proteins that participate in the initial and active stages of inflammation and immunity. In periodontal disease pathogenesis, cytokine response has been reported to play a very critical role in determining disease progression.3 IL-1beta and IL-6 are key cytokines in chronic inflammatory diseases and have the potential to initiate bone loss and tissue destruction seen in periodontal disease.4the purpose of this study; it is to determine the degree of inflammation and periodontal destruction by determining the levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid of periodontal healthy and diseased individuals.
The presence of periodontal diseases in patients has been associated to a worsened quality of life overall. Many different indices have been proposed over time in order to evaluate patient's centred outcomes. In particular, the most thorough questionnaire proposed so far is the Oral Health Impact Profile 49 (OHIP-49), which is composed of 49 questions. Despite its validity being unquestionable, OHIP-49 was found to be too time-consuming for the clinical scenario and, therefore, its shortened 14-question version has been proposed. A more in-depth knowledge of how these parameters change before and after periodontal treatment could enable clinicians to tailor the treatment plan according to the patients' needs.
Background: Chronic periodontitis is one of the most common causes of tooth loss and is rather common in the population. Treating chronic periodontitis remains a challenge for dental practitioners. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical effects of sub-gingival application of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel after root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: In this split mouth study, 733 periodontal pockets of 28 patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were chosen for investigation. They were divided into 2 groups: control group and experimental group. The experimental group received sub-gingival administration of 1 ml of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel into each pocket immediately after root planing and then after 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline and 6 weeks after root planing. Subgingival plaque was assessed at baseline and 6 weeks after root planing. Quantitative real-time PCR for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Treponema denticola (Td), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) Tannerella forsythia (Tf) were performed at the same time.
This is a parallel-group, randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of the adjunctive topical use of diode laser and green indocyanine in the full-mouth ultrasonic debridement of patients affected by periodontitis.
In this clinical study, we have collected GCF at diseased teeth and at the same time drawn blood, both before and at 3, 6 and 12 months after periodontal surgical treatment. This give us the opportunity to investigate if periodontal treatment could reduce inflammatory biomarkers in the systemic circulation and if there is a co-variation between biomarkers in GCF and blood. In part I of this study, we focus on biomarkers from blood serum in patients with periodontitis, before surgical therapy and under a healing period 12 months. In part II, biomarkers in the locally collected GCF will be analyzed together with clinically reported measurements and compared with biomarkers in blood serum. Hypothesis are - Periodontal treatment followed by clinical healing and periodontal health will be associated a change/ reduction in biomarkers in GCF. - The systemic levels of inflammatory biomarkers may show a delayed response to clinical healing. Periodontal surgical therapy may reduce circulating inflammatory biomarkers that could affect the low-grade chronic inflammation. - There is a co-variation between inflammatory biomarkers in GCF and the systemic circulation.
The aim of the study is to investigate clinical and microbiological effects of subgingival application of chloramine (Perisolv) and hyaluronic acid (Hyadent BG) gels as adjuncts to scaling and root planing in non-surgical periodontitis treatment.
