Filter by:This project is a national, open label, multicenter, randomized split-mouth study in patients from 18 to 70 years of age to compare the efficacy and acceptability of lidocaine gel compared to injection anesthesia with articaine (infiltration anesthesia for the upper jaw and infiltration or nerve block anesthesia for the lower jaw). It is planned that about 90 patients with a proven moderate periodontitis will be enrolled in 5 German study centers. Dynexan Mundgel® (lidocaine hydrochloride) is a topical anesthetic gel containing lidocaine that is commercially available as an anesthetic for temporary, symptomatic treatment of pain at the oral mucosa, gingiva and lips. The gold standard for scaling and root planing (SRP) is still the use of injection anesthesia. This raises the question what kind of anesthesia patients would prefer if they had a free choice. For this study Ultracaine® D-S 1:200,000 (articaine hydrochloride/epinephrine hydrochloride) was selected as the injectable comparator drug because it is the most frequently used anesthetic drug for infiltration and nerve-block anesthesia in Germany at present.
Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 are acute phase proteins associated with many systemic diseases and conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical parameters and salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels before and after non-surgical periodontal treatments in the patients with periodontal diseases. A total of 54 subjects were divided in to three groups; periodontally healthy (n: 18), gingivitis (n: 18), chronic periodontitis (n: 18). Clinical periodontal parameters, salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels and salivary flow rates were evaluated at baseline and a month after the treatments. Salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels were assayed by ELISA.
It is submitted that incident and prevalent chronic periodontal infection, known as chronic periodontitis (CP) possibly has a causal relationship with diabetes mellitus (DM) having effects on HbA1c, fasting plasma/ blood glucose (FPG/ FBG) and fasting plasma insulin (FPI) levels. Experimental research has suggested that treating CP may improve glycemic control and insulin resistance in Non-Insulin Dependent Type-2 DM patients (T2DM). However, there is limited data concerning the need and effects of adjunct antibiotic therapy (AAT) along with scaling root planning (SRP) in treating CP for long lasting results. Therefore, it is suggested that further research with larger samples must be undertaken for a successful periodontal therapy that may help improve glycemic control at desired levels and longer durations. This study is designed to evaluate effects of periodontal therapy [SRP, metronidazole (MET) and oral hygiene instructions (OHI)] through three-arm trial experiment comprising of SRP+MET+OHI, SRP+OHI and OHI+ Delayed Therapy (DT) groups on HbA1c, FBG, FPI levels and Insulin Resistance calculated through Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) to fill research gap. This study will target large number of individuals (N > 1000) at trial camps known as diabetes-periodontitis (Diab-Per) camps at three different campuses of Dow University of Health Sciences hospitals to be screened for presence of signs and symptoms of chronic periodontitis and type-2 diabetes Mellitus. The selected candidates will be referred to the base camp for further evaluation to be enrolled in trial and recruit 150 participants randomly allocated in each group (50 in each group). Post-therapy follow-up results will be assessed at 1, 3 and 6 months to evaluate short and long term changes in status of CP, FBG, FPI and HbA1c.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical response of proximal furcations treated with enamel matrix derivative proteins (EMD).
assess the clinical and laboratory effects of the local and sub gingival application of a 0.8% hyaluronic acid gel (GENGIGEL®) as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in chronic moderate to severe periodontitis patients as indicated by expression of Human Beta Definsin-2 (HBD2) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF).
The study aims to evaluate the effect of local non surgical periodontal therapy on the systemic pro-inflammatory markers in the β-thalassemia (TM-β) patients with chronic periodontitis and systemically healthy demographically matched controls with chronic periodontitis. Both groups will receive non surgical periodontal therapy.
This study evaluates the efficacy of scaling and root planing with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis (CP) among cigarette-smokers and never-smokers.
E. officinalis fruit possesses both the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities that may prove to be useful against several periodontal diseases with the advantage that it is devoid of side effects associated with synthetic drugs. After the careful search of literature, none of the studies have reported the effect of local drug delivery of E. officinalis preparations on chronic periodontitis.The present study is designed with the aim of assessing the effectiveness of Emblica officinalis extract formulations as a potential adjunctive therapeutic strategy in the management of chronic periodontititis
.There is no general agreement regarding the optimal concentration of sodium hypochlorite to be used in endodontic treatment.Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of sodium hypochlorite concentration on the success of primary root canal treatment. The study population comprised of patients requiring primary root canal treatment following the diagnosis of pulpal necrosis with chronic apical periodontitis in mature mandibular first and second molars.Patients were randomly allocated in either High concentration or Low concentration group.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the outcome of primary endodontic treatment following use of different instrumentation techniques. Materials and methods: Study subjects were recruited from the pool of patients referred for the non-surgical root canal treatment in the Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics at PGIDS, Rohtak (Haryana). The study population comprised of patients requiring primary root canal treatment following the diagnosis of pulpal necrosis with chronic apical periodontitis in mature mandibular first and second molars. Subjects were allocated to one of the three study groups: manual instrumentation, ProTaper instrumentation and Hybrid instrumentation.
