the research highlight the effectiveness of probiotics as adjuncts to SRP in the treatment of periodontitis stage III grade C molar-incisor pattern
The aim of this randomized, single-masked, controlled clinical trial study was to determine if the administration of electro acupuncture improves the outcomes obtained in combination with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Participants will get non-surgical periodontal therap with/without electro acupuncture. Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application clinical periodontal parameters,serum and saliva cytokine levels.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract characterised by complex interactions between genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, microbiota and host immune response. It has two main forms, Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). The main mechanism of IBD pathogenesis is dysregulated host immune response to commensal microbiota and disruption of the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in genetically predisposed individuals. Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease associated with dental biofilm resulting in the loss of periodontal supporting tissues and subsequently teeth. Although the occurrence of the disease depends on multifactorial factors, bacterial plaque is the primary etiological factor and various bacterial species found in plaque are responsible for initiating and maintaining the inflammatory and immune response in periodontal disease. Periodontal diseases are known to contribute to many systemic diseases/conditions or systemic disorders are known to affect periodontal disease. Although the relationship between IBD and periodontitis is based on the potential link between oral and intestinal microbiomes and host immunoinflammatory response, the pathological interactions between the two diseases have not yet been determined. From this point of view, the aim of our study was to investigate the effect of periodontal status on serum, saliva and gingival biomarkers (TIM-3, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17) in patients with IBD and to evaluate the relationship between these values and periodontal clinical parameters. This is the first study to examine TIM-3 levels in saliva, serum and gingival samples in patients with IBD and periodontitis with IBD.
Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterised by the destruction of the soft and hard tissues supporting the tooth, including alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and cementum. Periodontitis has been associated with different host characteristics such as diabetes or neutrophil disorders and environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and stress. On the other hand, periodontal bacterial infection triggers a systemic immune response that is associated with an increased risk of different disorders such as bacterial pneumonia, cardiovascular disease and autoimmune diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a severe chronic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, characterised by symmetrical, erosive synovitis of the joints, sometimes with multisystem organ involvement, joint destruction and excessive bone loss. Although the etiology of RA is unknown, it is thought to occur in individuals with genetic predisposition as a result of exposure to various environmental factors. RA and periodontitis are chronic destructive inflammatory diseases with common genetic and environmental risk factors, pathogenesis mechanisms and complex multifactorial pathological processes. Several studies suggest that periodontitis, a common inflammatory disease of the periodontium surrounding the teeth and triggered by bacteria in the mouth, is associated with RA and may initiate and worsen inflammation in RA. Non-surgical periodontal treatment (COPT), which is considered the gold standard in the treatment of periodontitis with hand instruments and ultrasonic instruments, has been shown to provide significant improvements in the clinical outcomes of periodontitis patients with RA. COPT is performed to stop the progression of periodontal diseases. Considering the studies supporting the bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and RA, it is thought that COPT may affect the clinical and biochemical values of RA. Based on these points, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between serum and salivary ANGPTL-4, MMP-13, TNF-α and IL-6 levels and periodontal disease in individuals with RA and to evaluate the effects of COPT on RA disease severity in vivo.
The commensal oral bacteria are responsible for the initiation and propagation of the disease through the process of dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance. The disease proceeds cyclically with periods of activity and quiescence until therapeutic action is taken, or the tooth and surrounding structures are destroyed by the disease process that may result in the loss of the tooth. As periodontal disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, a greater number of anaerobic organisms colonize deeper periodontal pockets, such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, which triggers the host inflammatory response. This response includes the production and dissemination of C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of inflammation, as well as various neutrophil and macrophage compounds such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and interleukins (IL-1 and IL-8). An elevated serum CRP level suggests that the inflammation arising as a result of periodontitis may correlate with cardiovascular pathology. Additionally, smoking creates an increasingly favorable environment for the growth of periodontal pathogens, thus furthering the disease process. In recent meta-analysis, published articles on the effect of saffron supplementation on three inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6) were evaluated. Combining eight eligible trials, it was demonstrated that saffron supplementation did not have a significant effect on serum levels of the three inflammatory biomarkers. However, in the subgroup analysis, saffron was found to significantly reduce CRP and TNF-α serum concentrations
Pulpitis is the pulpal inflammation in response to irritants which are either microbial, chemical, or physical (mechanical and thermal) in origin. Clinically, pulpitis is termed as reversible or irreversible, whereas histologically, it is described as acute, chronic or hyperplastic . Pulpitis is considered reversible when the pulp can heal following conservative management . For such cases, a coronal pulpotomy is considered as a definitive treatment option having 78% to 90% of success rate . In irreversible pulpitis (IP), the pulp is not capable of healing, thus it is treated traditionally complete pulpectomy.
Aim: Evaluation of the effect of different obturation techniques on postoperative pain level and radiographic healing on non-surgical endodontic retreatment (NSER) applied in a single visit in teeth with single root canal and apical periodontitis (AP). Materials and Methods: 63 teeth with single-root canal and AP from 50 systemically healthy patients (mean age 34.19±9.75 years; 27 women, 23 men) were included in the study. Residual root canal filling materials were removed with retreatment files. All teeth were prepared using rotary files . The teeth were randomly divided into three groups according to the obturation technique; cold lateral compaction (CLC), continuous wave compaction (CWC), and gutta-core (TGC). Restorations are completed using direct composite resin in the same visit. In all cases, pain status were evaluated using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NRS) at preoperative, postoperative, 3rd hour, 24th hour, 48th hour, and 7th day. Periapical index (PAI) scores were recorded on preoperative and postoperative 6-month on the periapical radiographs for cases. Data were analyzed as statistically. Significance level was determined as p < 0.05.
The present study aimed to determine the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on serum and salivary adipokine and interleukin-1β levels in periodontitis patients with or without type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
Aim: The aim of this randomised, parallel-arm, blinded, controlled clinical trial was to compare the clinical and radiographic efficacy of MINST with and without 0.8% HA gel application in the treatment of intraosseous defects. Research Hypothesis: The null hypothesis that there is no statistically significant difference in clinical and radiographic measurements between the use of HA gel in addition to MINST for the treatment of intraosseous defects and MINST treatment alone was tested.
