Filter by:The aim of this study will be to compare the approach of repeated applications of APDT versus surgical therapy for the treatment of residual pockets in generalized agressive periodontitis.
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease caused by mainly bacterial, genetic, immunologically, and environmental factors. Chronic periodontitis, one of the widely prevalent forms of periodontal disease, is characterized by loss of attachment apparatus of the tooth; it can lead to tooth loss. Many non surgical and surgical approaches have been adapted time and again to prevent, intercept, and to treat the various forms of chronic periodontitis. But, these treatment modalities are not approachable by all individuals, because of the various factors such as: low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, high cost of the treatment, no availability of easy and uncomplicated treatment nearby etc. Considering these factors, we are still in need of preventive, practical, and affordable treatment options specially for the population of underdeveloped and developing countries.
Dentinal hypersensitivity [DH] is a common condition in daily practice, especially in patients who have abrasion, attrition, gingival recession and erosion of teeth. It can affect individuals in the age range of 20-50 years.In a recent systematic review, it was reported that no gold standard treatment modality for dentin hypersensitivity has been established Thus there is a need to evaluate new formulations in different settings and in different populations and to compare those to commonly used agents seeking better results in pain relief for our patients. Studies showed that dentifrice formulations containing 8% arginine in combination with calcium carbonate and fluoride have the ability to plug dentinal tubules, by clumping of both arginine and calcium carbonate that bind with the negatively charged dentin . Aim of the study is to clinically evaluate toothpaste containing 8% arginine, calcium carbonate, and sodium mono-fluorophosphate, in comparison to toothpaste, containing 8% strontium acetate and NaF on the relief of DH in chronic periodontitis patients.
The aim of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to compare the clinical, microbiological and immunological effects of the adjunctive use of systemic metronidazole plus amoxicillin administered in different phases of the treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis.
The aims of the present study will be identify 5 types of fimbrial subunit genotype strains in smokers and nonsmokers with periodontitis, before and after periodontal therapy. Third two periodontitis patients will be selected to these study, 16 nonsmokers and 16 smokers. Clinical and microbiological parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months after periodontal treatment: Plaque Index, Bleeding On Probe, Probing Depth, Gingival Recession and Clinical Attachment Level. The prevalence of P. gingivalis and fimbrial subunit gene strains will be determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of moxifloxacin or amoxicillin plus metronidazole in one-stage scaling and root planing in treating generalized aggressive periodontitis. Forty five subjects will be randomly allocated to 3 treatment groups. Subgingival plaque samples will be analysed for cultivable bacteria. The primary outcome variable to determine the superiority of one treatment over the others would be differences between groups for means CAL changes at 6 months post-treatment. Secondary outcome variables include differences between therapies for the mean changes in the mean levels of PD and the proportion of BOP.
The aim of this randomized placebo- controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus SP1- containing probiotic tablets and azithromycin tablets as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP). Material and methods: Fifty-four chronic periodontitis patients will be recruited and monitored clinically, immunologically and microbiologically at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after therapy. All patients will receive scaling and root planning and randomly will be assigned over an probiotic experimental (SRP + probiotic, n=18), antibiotic experimental (SRP + Azithromycin, n=18) or control (SRP + placebo, n=18) group. Probiotic will be used once per day during 3 months. Antibiotic will be used once per day during 5 days.
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and microbiological outcomes of different dosages of metronidazole (MTZ) and of the duration of the systemic administration of MTZ and amoxicillin as adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis (GChP).
The Purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between the inflammatory periodontal status and the medical treatment status in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS) women with systemic inflammation and to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy in the form of scaling and root planing along with medical treatment on the level of serological marker of inflammation (High sensitivity-C Reactive Protein) and insulin resistance in PCOS women with chronic periodontitis.
The aim of this case control study is to explore the possible association between periodontal destruction and serum anti-CCP antibodies in RA patients and healthy subjects.
