Treatment of aggressive periodontitis (stage III, grade C periodontitis) represents a big challenge. The aim of the study was to compare the long-term results of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibiotic therapy as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical therapy in patients with aggressive periodontitis. Clinical parameters of probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing (BOP) were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment.
This clinical study aimed to Compare the levels of Interleukin 8 before and after root canal treatment in patients with apical periodontitis - Diagnosis - Local anesthesia - Isolation and disinfection of the tooth - Two-staged access cavity preparation - Patency of the root canals - First sample collection using paper points - Working length determination - Chemico-mechanical preparation - After 1 week, isolation, Second sample collection then obturation of the root canals and restoration of the tooth. - Samples will be stored in (-80 C) freezer till collection of all samples then, quantification will be done using ELISA.
Primary aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy of RGD adhesion molecule loaded hydrogel with minimally invasive surgical technique in treatment of periodontal intrabony defect at baseline and 6months. Secondary outcome is the biochemical evaluation to detect bone morphogenetic proteins level
Asprosin, a recently discovered glucogenic adipokine, is mainly synthesized by white adipose tissue and released during fasting. Appetite, glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, cell apoptosis, etc. asprosin is associated with diseases such as diabetes, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. Periodontal tissue may act as a source of endocrine-like inflammatory mediators (such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1) that are important in periodontal inflammation and can affect glucose and lipid metabolism. Production of TNF-α and IL-6 in adipose tissues strengthens the relationship between cardiovascular diseases and periodontitis. Investigators postulated that asprosin may be a candidate for explaining the triangular relationship between cardiovascular and periodontal disease.
This study will determine if cannabidiol (CBD) has any effect on local inflammation in periodontal maintenance patients. Many successful therapies exist for the active, untreated periodontal patient. Unfortunately, periodontology has not yet discovered a therapy that will predictably treat local inflammation in patients who are at risk for further pocketing, bleeding on probing, bone loss and ultimately, tooth loss. Although CBD has been patented in various forms since the 1940s, its acceptance and availability to patients has only recently expanded. Marketing of CBD to periodontal patients as a means to control inflammation is commonplace online and in CBD-specific shops. In determining if CBD is a successful supplement to conventional periodontal inflammation control therapies, millions of patients could benefit from this treatment.
Re-evaluation after non-surgical periodontal treatment remains an integral part of comprehensive periodontal therapy. This re-evaluation determines if a patient is in need either of surgical periodontal therapy or a personalized program of supportive periodontal treatment. However important, this time point is yet to be determined.This interventional study aims to clarify which is the best time to re-evaluate the therapeutic result after non-surgical periodontal treatment.
A significant influence of the Herpes viruses family in the progression of periodontal disease has been suggested. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association of four Herpes viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, CMV and EBV) with periodontal disease using a qualitative test for evaluating the presence or absence of viral DNA in crevicular fluid samples of both healthy periodontal patients and periodontal compromised patients. Adult patients with healthy periodontium or periodontally compromised attending the Egas Moniz university dental clinic (Almada, Portugal) are eligible to participate The study involves a periodontal diagnosis and collection of unstimulated crevicular fluid from saliva samples. There will be no direct benefits for patients, but indirect benefit of advancing science in the study of potential involvment of Herpes viruses in periodontitis. No risks of participating are antecipated as the study material and data will be anonymized. The study runs from the the Cooperativa de Ensino Egas Moniz and is expected to run for 3 months.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the association of stage-grade of periodontitis with sleep quality and fatigue and the effect of periodontitis on QoL (Quality of life) in individuals with periodontitis and gingivally healthy individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Have poor sleep quality, inadequate sleep and fatigue got an effect on periodontal status? 2. Has periodontal status got an effect on sleep quality and fatigue? 3. What is the effect of periodontal status on quality of life? Routine clinical and radiographic periodontal examinations of the participants were performed. Groups were designed according to periodontal status and periodontitis-stages of participants. Group 1- Healthy; Group 2- Stage I periodontitis; Group 3- Stage II periodontitis; Group 4- Stage III periodontitis; Group 5- Stage IV periodontitis. The participants were only asked to fill out the questionnaires (socio-demographic survey, tooth cleaning habit survey, The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), The Jenkins Sleep Scale(JSS), Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue scale (MAF) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14)) included in the study and were informed about them. Then, if necessary, the participants' routine periodontal treatments were performed. In line with the findings of the study; 1. Sleep quality was found higher in gingival healthy individuals. 3. The severity of periodontitis increases, the sleep duration becomes shorter, 4. It has been observed that the sleep quality in terms of gender is lower in female individuals compared to male individuals.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease is initiated by the oral microbial biofilm where in the response to this infection is mediated by various intracellular signalling pathways leading to the production of numerous bio-molecules. . Calprotectin is major cytoplasmic protein expressed in majority by neutrophils and as well seen in gingival epithelial cells, activated macrophages and vascular endothelial cells in minor amounts. Calprotectin is regarded as acute phase protein that increases during a variety of inflammatory diseases like periodontitis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Periostin is a marked anti-inflammatory protein belonging to fascilin family which actively contributed to tissue injury, fibrosis, atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases Hence this study aims to determine the expression of Calprotectin and Periostin as biomarkers and also as putative risk indicators in generalized chronic periodontitis subjects with or without cardiovascular disease before and after non-surgical therapy.
