Filter by:Except for patients with referred clinical bruxism and uncontrolled medical conditions, the study included 123 implants with implanted fixed prostheses that had lasted at least six months after functional prosthetic loading. In all implant patients, the health scale ranged from implants and natural teeth to plaque, gingival index, bleeding in the probe, mouth depth, loss of clinical attachment, and dental implants. The health and illness of the implants have been determined. Patients were divided into three groups: peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implant health. Inclusion Criteria: - Patients between the ages of 18- 70 - Drugs that have a systemically healthy and controlled treatment situation - Drivers who have implant-supported fixed prostheses that have been at least six months after functional prosthetic loading Among these groups, it was checked whether periodontitis was seen in patients with peri-implantitis, gingivitis in patients with peri-implant mucositis, and whether healthy gums were seen in individuals with peri-implant health. To determine the health and disease status of individuals' implants, plaque index (Silness Loe 1964), gingival index (Loe Silness 1963), bleeding on probing (Ainoma Bay 1975), pocket depth measurements, and clinical attachment level were collected.
The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of a chitosan brush on the treatment of residual pockets in patients already treated for periodontal disease. Thirty-six patients with chronic periodontitis (Stage ΙΙΙ, ΙV) that had already completed causative therapy and exhibited at least two residual periodontal pockets ≥ 5mm that bled on probing, were randomly assigned to two groups. In the test group debridement of residual pockets was performed with ultrasonic scaler and the chitosan brush, whereas in the control group only ultrasonic scalers were used.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of submucosal 8 mg (2 mL) dexamethasone on postoperative pain, swelling, chewing efficiency, trismus, healing, and discomfort after periodontal flap surgery
The goal of this observational is study is to develop a protocol for root canal biofilms disinfection using a clinically approved and commercially available iron oxide nanoparticle formulation Ferumoxytol/H2O2 treatments. This protocol will be testing local single topical application of Ferumoxytol within the root canal system in patients going through routine root canal treatment, evaluate its potential as anti-biofilm treatment and compare it to the clinical gold standard disinfecting solution sodium hypochlorite (positive control) and saline (negative control).
Activin-A belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a role in inflammation, immune response, tissue repair and regeneration. Proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) can increase Activin-A expression in various cell types. This study aims to evaluate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and salivary Activin-A and IL-β levels in stage III periodontitis. Seventy-five systemically healthy and non-smoker volunteers consisting of 23 stage III periodontitis, 26 gingivitis and 26 periodontally healthy were enrolled. Full-mouth clinical periodontal indices were recorded, unstimulated whole saliva and GCF samples were obtained, Activin-A and IL-1β total amounts were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical comparisons were performed using non-parametric tests.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with multifactorial etiology. Although periodontal disease is initiated by pathogens within the biofilm layer, disease development and tissue destruction occur as a result of the interaction of periodontal pathogens and the host immune response. It has been determined in the literature that smoking has a significant negative effect on periodontal tissues and increases the risk of periodontitis by 2-5 times. It has been shown that there is a relationship between smoking and the incidence and progression of periodontitis. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs have not been explained. In this study, the effect of smoking on the levels of sclerostin (SOST), tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin (OPG), which are effective in bone metabolism, in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva will be evaluated. Participants in the study were in accordance with the 2017 World Workshop on Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions criteria as a result of clinical evaluations systemically healthy, non-smokers diagnosed with stage 2, 3 and/or 4 periodontitis (Group 1) (n=26); systemically healthy, diagnosed with stage 2, 3 and/or 4 periodontitis and smokers (Group 2) (n=26); systemically and periodontally healthy, non-smokers (Group 3-Control Group) (n=26). Clinical periodontal indixes will be obtained from participants meeting the inclusion criteria; GCF and saliva samples will be collected. The samples will be examined by ELISA test at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Immunology.
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that causes destruction of periodontal tissues. IL-20, on the other hand, is known as a potent angiogenic, chemotactic, and pro-inflammatory cytokine associated with various chronic inflammatory disorders. IL-20 has a significant role in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of IL-20 on periodontal destruction. In the study, a total of 60 participants were included, 30 of whom were systemically and periodontally healthy (control group) and 30 of whom were systemically healthy and had periodontitis (periodontitis group). GCF and serum samples were collected from the participants for biochemical analysis. ELISA method was used to determine IL-20, TNF-α, IL1β/IL-10, RANKL/OPG and MMP8 levels
The participants were divided into two groups: Group I (cryotherapy) (n =10) after the completion of the mechanical preparation intra oral cryotherapy was applied. Group II (control) (n =10) received standard root canal treatment without the application of any type of cryotherapy.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous rotation and reciprocation kinematics on post operative pain and difference in substance P levels in patients with irreversible pulpitis with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Twenty patients were randomly distributed into two groups; Continuous Rotation group(n=10): received mechanical preparation using EdgeEndo x7 rotary system (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA), while Reciprocation group(n=10): received mechanical preparation using EdgeOne Fire reciprocating system (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA). Apical fluid(AF) samples were collected, and substance P (SP) levels were measured using radioimmunoassay and postoperative pain was measured using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) preoperatively, at 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h and 72h.
This study investigates the clinical and biochemical results of vitamin D supplementation in addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment in individuals with Type II diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.
