Filter by:This study was aimed at assessing the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) of chronic periodontitis on insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and serum C-reactive protein(CRP) level amongst non-diabetic subjects.
To assess the periodontal clinical response and the possible adverse effects of the clarithromycin combined to periodontal mechanical therapy in the treatment of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis.
The aim of present study is to investigate any relationship between hyperlipidemia and periodontal disease regarding the periodontal parameters and plasma lipid parameters, along with age, gender, brushing habit, body mass index, dietary habit, physical activity, alcohol consumption. In this cross sectional study, a total of 160 individuals were divided into two groups based on their metabolic status: hyperlipidemic group (n=97) and normolipidemic group (n=63). Plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) clinical parameters and community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) scores were measured. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels had been determined previously during individuals routine systemic examinations. Daily brushing habits and interdental cleaning together with dietary habits, alcohol consumption and physical activity levels were also recorded.
The aim of this study is to estimate genetic impact of MCP-1 -2518 and its receptor CCR2 -190 polymorphisms on AgP patients among Turkish individuals and whether MCP-1 genotype effects mRNA levels of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Leukocyte (PBML)
The aim of this study was to investigate the local effect of adjunct low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic periodontitis in type 2 diabetic patients.
The investigators evaluated the effect of initial periodontal treatment on clinical findings and receptor activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with osteoporosis under bisphosphonate therapy within 12 months' follow-up. Clinical recordings and GCF were obtained from postmenopausal women; with chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis (Group A, n=13), with chronic periodontitis and no osteoporosis (Group B, n=12), without chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis (Group C, n=12), systemically and periodontally healthy controls (Group D, n=10) at the baseline. Recordings were repeated at the 1st, 6th and 12th months in Group A, B and C. RANKL and OPG values were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
we hypothesized that hyperlipidemia as an unfavourable levels of lipoprotein subfractions have deleterious impact on the development of periodontal infection by altering oxidative stres status of periodontal tissues. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate i) effect of hyperlipidemia on oxidative change in GCF content, ie. MDA, PC and TAOC levels, in patients with different periodontal status,
This study evaluates the clinical effect of regenerative endodontic procedure using PRF in immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis. Half of participants will receive the PRF instead of blood clots in the regenerative endodontic procedure, while the other half will receive a blood clots in the regenerative endodontic procedure.
Statins are one of the lipid lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) and atorvastatin (ATV) have shown to have bone stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1.2% RSV and 1.2% ATV gel as a local drug delivery and redelivery system as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of degree II furcation defects.
Background: Propolis is a natural resin made by bees from various plant sources. Propolis exerts antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties. The purpose of this study was to assess the adjunctive benefit of propolis supplementation in individuals with both chronic periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving scaling and root planing (SRP). Methods: A 6-month randomized blinded clinical trial comparing SRP with placebo (placebo+SRP group, n=26) or combined with a 6- month regimen of 400 mg oral propolis once daily (propolis+SRP group, n=26) was performed in patients with long-standing T2DM and chronic periodontitis. Treatment outcomes included hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum N€-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) and changes in periodontal parameters.
