Filter by:Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is an addition to the local chemotherapeutic agents. Hyaluronic acid was discovered by Meyer and Palmer. HA is widely found in the extracellular matrix and it plays an essential role in controlling cell behavior including random motility, metabolic reactions, chemotaxis, proliferation and invasion. HA is released by many cells including fibroblasts (Dahiya et al., 2013). Hyaluronic acid can be found in the skin, eyes and the periodontium. In addition, it appears in body fluids like serum, gingival crevicular fluid and saliva. Hyaluronic acid is created in the periodontium by HA synthase enzyme present in numerous cells like fibroblast and cementoblast (Fraser et al., 1997). There is evidence that hyaluronic acid is bacteriostatic, fungostatic, anti-inflammatory, osteoconduvtive and pro-angiogenic. These dissimilar properties illustrate the ability of hyaluronic acid to be an ideal material for wound healing (Carlson et al., 2004).
48 adult patients participated in a single-centre randomized clinical trial with split- mouth design. They had presented at re-evaluation after initial non-surgical periodontal therapy (steps 1 and 2 of periodontal therapy) for generalized periodontitis with at least 2 teeth with residual probing pocket depths (PPD) ≥5 and ≤8 mm, with bleeding on probing (BOP). Two teeth with similar PPD were randomized to receive re-instrumentation either with (test) or without (control) adjunctive flapless administration of EMD. Differences in the changes of PPD and BOP from baseline to 6 and 12 months will be analysed, and the frequencies of pocket closure (PPD ≤4 mm and no BOP) will be compared
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of concomitant antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPTD) on periodontal disease and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Clinical Relevance: aPTD is a noninvasive adjunctive therapy that can positively influence the periodontal treatment outcome.
Preliminary clinical studies have confirmed that injection of freshly prepared HA35 can reduce symptoms and signs of gingivitis or periodontitis. This clinical study is a prospective repeated experiments. The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of HA35 injection therapy.
Goal of this prospective observational study is determine effect of smoking on periapical healing after NSRCT. Population includes systemically healthy smokers with radiographic evidence of apical periodontitis will be recruited and compared with same type of population of non smokers after non surgical root canal treatment intervention in both the groups. Outcome will be assessed using periapical index scoring system at 6 and 12 months follow up period
The aim of the study is to evaluate the association between apical periodontitis (AP) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) by assessing the multiplicative effect of AP on secondary outcomes of ASCVD. Sixty-two subjects will be enrolled from the Unit of Endodontics and Restorative dentistry and allocated into 2 distinct groups depending on the presence or absence of periapical lesions. Group 1 will be composed of 31 patients with radiographic signs of AP. On the contrary, another 31 healthy individual (free from clinical and radiographic evidence of AP) meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included as controls (group 2) A complete dental examination will performed on each patient in both groups. All the patients will be subjected to a cardiovascular examination to assess carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm, presence of peripheral pulses through echo-color-doppler.
In this study,the investigators aimed to examine the effect of electroacupuncture application on the amount of pain felt by patients after periodontal surgery. The main question it aims to answer is there any efficiacy of electroacupuncture application on postoperative pain reduction. Participants will get periodontal flap surgery treatment with/without electroacupuncture Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application and postoperative pain
The basic aim of root canal treatment is to reduce the microbial content and prevent further recontamination in the canal. Every tooth has a variable, complex canal anatomy consisting of ramifications, accessory and lateral canals. Instrumentation alone cannot reach all the areas for cleaning.The objectives of this research study is to observe and compare the effect of irrigation with smearOFF , etidronic acid/ hypochlorite and other irrigants on sealer penetration and dentin erosion of root dentin by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). Hundred extracted premolar teeth is subjected to root canal instrumentation. The endodontic procedure is done with protaper gold files. Initial irrigation is done by 5% sodium hypochlorite. Samples are divided into five groups. Each group consists of twenty single rooted premolars based on final irrigation regimen. There will be four experimental groups which are as follows (1) 17% EDTA (2) SmearOFF 3) Maleic acid (4) HEBP/NaOCL. Whereas, saline will be the control group. After the preparation and final irrigation of all teeth with experimental irrigants, sterile saline is used to flush all canals and dried using paper points. After final irrigation teeth are further divided into two groups (A) Sealer penetration (B) Dentin erosion. In both the groups standardization of root length, cleaning and shaping procedure are the same. For sealer penetration, obturation is done by warm vertical using AH plus sealer. Samples are incubated at 37º Celsius (°C) and 100% humidity for 7 days. The samples are marked and divided into three horizontal section at 2mm, 5mm and 8mm. Using SEM, measure the maximum depth of sealer penetration on each side that is buccal, lingual, mesial and distal and take the mean for each section of sample. For dentin erosion (B) samples are divided sagitally & buccolingually into two halves. The half containing the most visible part of apical area is taken and than examined using EDX. One-Way ANOVA-test will be used to compare mean values of multiple groups. Tukey's post hoc test will be used to determine the group with significance at P≤0.05. Two observers will evaluate the results using kappa statistics.
The purpose of this study is to test whether spraying the tooth of patients by use of the novel electrolyzed water spray will produce improvement in the condition of mild periodontitis.
the aim of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of hyaluronic acid (HA) used as an adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) and red injectable platelet rich-fibrin (i-PRF) in the non-surgical treatment of stage III periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is: is there a difference between HA and red i-prf when used as an adjunct to SRP in terms of efficacy? Participants who are eligible will be assigned to one of the treatment groups: - Group 1= receives HA+ SRP - Group 2= receives red i-prf + SRP - Group 3= receives only SRP Researchers will compare Groups 1,2 and 3 to see if there's a difference in the periodontal parameters measured.
