Filter by:Investigators hypothesize that good oral hygiene may inhibit P. gingivalis, a keystone periodontal pathogen, entering mature dental plaque, which leads to a higher ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis. Investigators will educate and train periodontitis patients following periodontal therapy to maintain periodontal health. Initial and intense education of periodontal health maintenance will be provided and the ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis in dental plaques will be compared and analyzed for correlation between patient's execution of periodontal health maintenance and education tools or the ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis.
The main aim and objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of low dose aspirin vs omega 3 fatty acids as adjuvants to non-surgical periodontal therapy and also to evaluate the levels of pentraxin 3 and glycosylated haemoglobin in diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis
The primary outcome of the present study will be assess the percentage of pocket closure and the secondary aim to evaluate the clinical performance in terms of clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction and gingival recession (REC) after the use of cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA) in deep infrabony defects. Patients who were previously treated with active periodontal therapy followed by one year of supportive periodontal therapy (at least three sessions) will be additionally treated by the aid of CUSA. Subjects will be reviewed at 7 days, 15 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. These sessions will include supra-gingival professional mechanical plaque removal (PMPR) through the use of erythritol powder plus 14 μm. Clinical measurements of the defects and X-ray with bite block will be taken at baseline and 3 and 6 months.
Aim of study was clinical comparative evaluation of using modified vertical internal mattress suturing technique and simple loop interrupted suturing technique in the outcome of modified Widman flap surgery for the management of chronic periodontitis.
It aims to demonstrate the superiority of a 6-week supplementation with Lactibiane Buccodental compared to placebo, as adjunctive therapy in chronic periodontitis in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis
the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dental hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia on the assessment capacity of individuals in a local Turkish population. The hypothesis of this study is that excessive amounts of pain and a major functional shift in the somatosensory system due to central sensitization might cause unwitting intent.
Despite the great progress in understanding the causes of infertility, the reason for the failure of pregnancy has not been discovered among 25% of infertile couples. Some studies have shown the negative impact of periodontal disease on the reproductive potential of women. It is known that there is an elevated level of matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8) in the gingival fluid of patients with periodontitis. It is possible to establish a fast diagnosis of periodontitis by using a non-invasive assay based on monoclonal antibodies to two epitopes of MMP-8. The goal of the research is to use the above described assay in order to compare the level of MMP8 in the gingival fluid of infertile patients with the control group of fertile women, depending on the existence of periodontal disease. It is expected to find significantly higher values of MMP8 in infertile patients in relation to the fertile patient with/without periodontitis. The prompt treatment of periodontitis in preconception care of this group of women could have a significant impact on the improvement of fertility and ability to achieve pregnancy.
This study aims to evaluate an endodontic treatment protocol using adjunctive steps for disinfection of teeth with primary endodontic infections.
Periodontal disease is an immune-inflammatory disease which consists of connective tissue breakdown, loss of attachment, and alveolar bone loss.In normal physiology, there is an equilibrium maintained between reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity and antioxidant defence capacity. when this equilibrium changes and shifts in favour of ROS, it will result in oxidative stress (OS). Increased levels of acute phase proteins have been associated with gingival inflammation and periodontitis, which reflected the locally stressed environment. it has been well established that in chronic inflammation sites there is over-production of ROS. The human body consists of an array of antioxidant defense mechanisms (non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants) which removes harmful ROS as soon as they are formed and prevent their deleterious effects. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase are the enzymatic antioxidants, while the nonenzymatic antioxidants include vitamins E and C, and reduced glutathione. C - reactive protein (CRP) is a plasma protein that reflects a measure of the acute phase response to inflammation and is one of the markers of choice in monitoring this response. Changes in peripheral blood cellular and molecular components can be seen in patients with periodontitis, as periodontitis includes inflammatory changes of the periodontal tissues. Ashwagandha is also known as Indian ginseng and winter cherry. It consists of dried roots of Withania Somnifera (Family: Solanaceae).6 The Sanskrit words ashva meaning horse, and gandha meaning smell together form the name Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha possessed marked anti-inflammatory effect against denaturation of protein in vitro. the effect was plausibly due to the alkaloid and withanolide contents of ashwagandha. It is a multipurpose herb, which acts as adaptogenic, antioxidant, anticancer, anxiolytic, antidepressant, cardio protective, thyroid modulating, immunomodulating, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, cognitive enhancing and hematopoietic agent.So, this study is carried out to assess SOD & CRP levels with or without Ashwagandha supplementation as an adjunct to scaling and root planing(SRP) in chronic periodontitis(CP) patients.
Pain after periodontal surgical procedures is a common manifestation. The perception of pain is highly subjective and varies substantially among individuals. Many factors affect pain perception, such as the nature, duration, and extent of the surgery and psychological aspects (e.g., stress and anxiety). Pain after periodontal surgery is an example of acute dental pain of mild to moderate severity. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have a significant advantage in the control of pain after periodontal or oral surgical procedures. Diclofenac is a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug that is well suited for local use in the oral cavity. Diclofenac competes with arachidonic acid in a dose dependent manner for binding with platelet COX. This results in decreased production of PG and thus reduces inflammation, swelling and pain. As Diclofenac associated with many adverse effects, like gastric irritability, nausea, headache, dizziness. Undesirable effects may be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms. As many of clinical trials have suggested Diclofeanc 50 mg alleviates the postoperative pain. So main aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low dose Diclofenac(25mg) in reducing the post operative pain after periodontal flap surgeries. Thus comparing the effects of low dose Diclofenac and Diclofenac 50mg for reducing post-operative pain.
