Filter by:The aims of our study were to evaluate the clinical anesthetic parameters of the intraseptal anesthesia (ISA), achieved by computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system CCLADS, for scaling and root planing, as a primary outcome of the study. In addition, as secondary outcome of the study the impact of destruction of the periodontal supporting tissues on clinical anesthetic parameters of the ISA achieved by 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine, using CCLAD system.
The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare, clinically and radiographically, the outcome of non surgical primary/secondary root canal treatment using a hydraulic sealer or a zinc oxide-eugenol sealer.
To assess and compare the demographic variables, periodontal parameters, cardiac parameters and the expression of periodontal viruses (CMV, HSV and EBV) and inflammatory biomarkers(PTX-3, TLR-2 & TLR-4) in periodontally healthy and generalized periodontitis patients with and without coronary artery disease(CAD).
The aim is to study whether participants at risk could be identified using an aMMP-8 chairside mouth rinse test and to study if oral health and health behaviour is linked to the test result in Finnish adolescents.
Treatment of smoker patients with AgP is considered a challenge to periodontists. To date, only one controlled clinical study (De Genaro Modanese et al., 2016) evaluated the effect of full mouth ultrasonic debridment (FMUD) on smokers with aggressive periodontitis. Its results showed significant improvements in clinical parameters (plaque index PI, bleeding on probing- BoP and probing depth-PD), and immunologic (reductions in interleukin 6- IL-6, tumor necrosis factor- α TNF-α levels), although the results were more favorable for non-smoking patients. Antimicrobials associated to mechanical therapy has been extensively studied (Hafajee et al., 2003, Heitz-Mayfield, 2006). The association of Amoxicillin and Metronidazole have had good clinical and microbiological results in randomized clinical trials in the treatment of AgP (Casarin et al., 2012, Sgolastra et al., 2012, Keestra et al., 2015). Thus, this study investigates clinical, microbiological and immunological influence of smoking in the periodontal debridement associated to Amoxiciclin and Metronidazole of young individuals with pronounced periodontal destruction, compared with non-smokers individuals.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential additive effect of Motivational Interviewing (MI) on gingival health and self-care. Our hypothesis was that the Motivational Interviewing would result in improved gingival health and self-care compared to prevailing patient education.
to assess the effectiveness of advanced PRF in combination of Demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) as compared to collagen membrane in combination with Demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) treatment of non-contained periodontal intraosseous defects in stage III periodontitis patients.
To the best of our knowledge, only two studies are available which have provided a direct comparison between outcome of nonsurgical retreatment and endodontic surgery. The results of the two studies are contradictory in nature. Two systematic reviews conducted to explore the issue also could not draw any definitive conclusions and suggested that further research is necessary to find out effects of surgical versus nonsurgical approach. Considering the very limited amount of data on this pertinent topic, there is apparent need of high quality randomized controlled studies to further investigate the difference in outcome between nonsurgical retreatment and endodontic surgery.
Clinical and radiographic evaluation of injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-PRF) and demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) compared to demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) alone in management of intraosseous defects in stage III periodontitis patients.
The objective of this study is to determine whether, in patients with non treated periodontitis (stage III and IV) positive to Porphyromonas gingivalis, the use of systemic antimicrobials (metronidazole versus azithromycin) as an adjunctive treatment to periodontal surgery provides clinical and microbiological benefits.
