Filter by:Patients of Stage III and Stage IV Periodontitis will be assessed for masticatory dysfunction and psychological distress. Subgingival Instrumentation will be done for treating periodontitis. Patients will be re-evaluated after 2 and 3 months in order to assess any change in masticatory dysfunction and psychological distress by improved periodontal health.
Periodontal diseases and dental pathologies are highly prevalent oral diseases. Thirty-three to fifty percent of adult population presented at least one untreated caries and more than 50% of French population are affected by severe periodontitis. These diseases affect dental organ or periodontal attached system but could have negative impact on general health, quality of life, word and individual well-being. Association between chronic diseases as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and oral health have been well investigated. Dental and periodontal diagnosis is dependent of various clinical parameters time consuming and dependent operator. It represents a public health challenge. Informatic analysis detecting diseases could be a time gain and a more precise diagnosis tool. Today, any software or algorithm allow automatized detection, clinical qualitative or quantitative indices recording while these informations are present in numeric models
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of various root canal cleaning devices based on the principle of cavitation, ultrasonics, and conventional methods in a normal healthy adult population aged between 18 to 75 years requiring root canal treatment. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Effectiveness of the cleaning mechanism - Evaluate the safety of use of the device. Participants will be provided root canal treatment. Participants will be asked to record their post-operative pain levels in a Patient Pain diary. The healing rate of the lesion will be examined at follow-up visits using intraoral X-rays. At the end of the study, a statistical analysis of the clinical outcomes of the root canal treatment will be examined and evaluated in every group.
Bruxism is a multifaceted phenomenon that has been associated with several factors mediated by the central nervous system3. Bruxism is an umbrella term grouping different motor phenomenon. 'Bruxism is a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Bruxism has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can occur during sleep (indicated as sleep bruxism) or during wakefulness (indicated as awake bruxism5. Sleep bruxism is considered to be a putative exacerbating factor, rather than a causative factor of periodontal disease and night-guards have been used as a counter measure. Since the periodontium in sleep bruxism patients suffers from excessive occlusal force for long periods of time during sleep, the function of the periodontium in such patients may differ from that in patients without sleep bruxism. Awake bruxism is defined as masticatory muscle activity during wakefulness that is characterized by repetitive or sustained tooth contact and by bracing or thrusting of the mandible.Given the potential impact of abnormal forces on the periodontium, understanding the relationship between bruxism and periodontal disease is crucial for the prevention and management of these conditions. This study aims to explore the mechanisms by which bruxism affects the periodontium and to assess the impact of bruxism in the outcome of subgingival instrumentation for the management of Stage 2 and Stage 3 periodontitis.
Ability to anticipate the outcomes of periodontal therapy at baseline visit is crucial to outline and customize a treatment plan with predictable outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Presence of diverse range of health/disease-associated molecules in oral environment that reflect health and disease, together with clinical parameters, is an appealing approach to use them as biomarkers to diagnose, predict, and monitor periodontal disease. Among these proteins are E-cad and TAC which available evidence indicate that their concentrations in oral biofluids increase remarkably during periodontitis as compared to healthy periodontium.
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical, biochemical and microbiological efficacy of ozone treatment as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) in periodontitis patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the application of gaseous ozone, as an adjunct to NSPT, to periodontal pockets in patients with periodontitis alters the clinical periodontal parameters, gingival crevicular fluid levels of inflammatory cytokines, and periodontal pathogens compared to NSPT alone? The study will be performed according to a split-mouth design, the contralateral quadrants with similar periodontal status in each patient will be randomly allocated to one of the following two different treatment modalities. Participants will be applied NSPT consisting of supra and subgingival debridement. - NSPT will be applied alone in one quadrant - In addition to NSPT, ozone therapy procedures were performed using a device at contralateral sites. Researchers will compare the sites with and without ozone therapy in addition to NSPT to see if ozone therapy adjunct to the NSPT affects clinical, biochemical, and microbiological changes
This study is designed to evaluate the use of Emdogain® MI in a procedure where a significant portion of the lining of the sulcus is removed by curettage (similar to the traditional clinical procedure described as "gingival curettage") to the point of tissue mobility. This will be designated as a "non-incised minimally invasive flap access procedure". A videoscope will be utilized to assist with the requirement to adequately visualize and debride the root surface. This research project will define the approach used as a "non-incised minimally invasive flap access" approach and will be a modification of recognized minimally invasive techniques. This modification will be made by Dr. Harrel who first describe the minimally invasive periodontal approach and defined minimally invasive periodontal procedures in 1995.
The goal of this controlled clinical trial is to investigate the impact of regular home use of Lumoral device as an adjunct treatment compared to non-surgical periodontitis treatment (NSPT) alone on biofilm removal and host response in Stage III and Grade C smoking periodontitis patients at 6 months.The main question aims to answer is: • Does regular use of dual-light photodynamic therapy benefit NSPT in Stage III and Grade C smoking periodontitis patients? 30 participants will be asked to use Lumoral device every night before performing oral hygiene for 10 minutes, while the other 30 patients will be asked to perform only oral hygiene. Both of these groups will receive NSPT and will be followed for 6 months from baseline.
Background: There are epidemiological and preclinical studies in vivo that support the biological plausibility of the association between periodontal diseases and major depression (DM), through the hypothesis of a "leaky mouth" by periodontitis as a source of neuroinflammation. Therefore, this association should be studied in depth in carefully designed cross-sectional studies in humans to specifically assess this relationship. Objectives: Primary: determine if periodontitis can be associated with the development of DM. Secondary: (1) to estimate the prevalence of periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) in patients with and without DM; (2) to determine whether oral, periodontal, and fecal (bacterial, viral, and fungal) metagenomic microbiomes, inflammatory mediators, and intestinal barrier integrity are associated with periodontal and mental health variables. Material and method: A cross-sectional analytical study with two groups is designed: - Control group (without DM): subjects without known mental health pathologies will be included, who present a PHQ-9 index of 5 or less. They will be recruited from the control group of a population-based study PsychoBioma TRIAD (C.P. PSQ-19-2 - C.I. 19/474-E). They will be matched by age, gender, and socioeconomic status. - Group of cases (MD patients): subjects with moderate DM will be selected, characterized by HPQ9 index values of 9 or higher. They will be selected among those patients who attend the Mental Health consultations associated with the San Carlos Clinical Hospital. The study will consist of three visits: - Visit in Mental Health Consultations: in this visit the subject will be evaluated to determine if he meets the eligibility criteria. You will be informed of the purpose of the study and you will be invited to participate and sign the informed consent. After that, a structured clinical interview for the DSM-IV (SCID) will be conducted and the subject will fill in a series of specific scales on a study-specific electronic device [Beck Depression Inventory (BDI); UCLA Loneliness Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale [CES-D]; Childhood Trauma Questionnaire short form (CTQ-SF); The World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL); Hamilton scale (HAM-D17); Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale]. - Dental School Visit: Subject will receive a comprehensive periodontal examination. A subgingival microbiological sample, a saliva sample and a blood sample will also be taken. The patient will be given a specific vial to collect stool samples. - At the participant's home: the stool samples will be deposited by the participants at home in the specific collection vial.
The best way for dental professionals act using dialogue methods and individual approaches in daily clinical practice to change behavioral is still inconclusive. Thus, the objective will be evaluate the effect of using motivational interviewing as part of the treatment of periodontitis in order to increase the adherence of adults to adequate oral health behavior.
