View clinical trials related to Periodontitis.
Filter by:The experiment outlined in this proposal is designed to test the hypothesis that herpesvirus suppression by the systemic anti-herpesvirus valacyclovir (Valtrex) can significantly help to arrest the progressive course of severe marginal periodontitis in adult patients. A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, clinical trial is employed to test this hypothesis.
Periodontal diseases are a public health burden in all countries. Hence, Periodontitis is the sixth-most prevalent disease in the world, the most common bone diseases in human and the primary cause for tooth loss in adults leading to significant economic and medical consequences. All disease biomarkers could help to stratify the general population with those at high risk of periodontitis and to enroll them in a rigorous prevention program. Advanced periodontitis has been shown to reduce the quality of life of patients and developing novel biological monitoring protocols will reduce the prevalence of advanced forms of the disease. There are alot of research explaining the different types of inflammatory mediators that could be found in periodontitis patients. But there are a few research have been talking about lipoxin A4 as an inflammatory biomarker that could detect the effect of non surgical periodontal therapy effect on the periodontal health. And the aim of the study is to assess the effect of this non surgical periodontal therapy on the periodontal health by assessing the concentration of this biomarker.
the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease is crucial and has been explained via a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors that influence the host immune tolerance leading to both disease characteristics. The aim of this study is to clinically investigate the correlation between the levels of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in gingival crevicular fluid before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment and the severity of periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients
This study is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in chronic periodontitis with a targeted group of stage III and IV periodontitis. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the method might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
The existence of supracrestal tissue attachment (SCTA) is fundamental for adhesion of the junctional epithelium and insertion of the connective fibers to the dental structure, besides functioning as a barrier against microbial entry in the periodontium. Wide variation in SCTA dimension have been reported in patients with and without periodontitis. If the physiologic dimension of SCTA is violated then it may lead to inflammation in periodontium. Influence of dimension of SCTA on scaling and root planning and open flap debridement procedure has not been investigated till date. Thus the aim of study is to assess the influence of SCTA dimension on the outcome of scaling and root planning followed by open flap debridement in patients with stage 2 and stage 3 periodontitis and also to estimate the SCTA dimension in thick versus thin periodontal phenotype.
General Objective : To evaluate the outcome of non surgical periodontal therapy with local drug delivery adjunct to scaling and root planning Specific Objective : To determine the effect of intra-pocket application of hyaluronic acid /chlorohexidine gel in non surgical periodontal treatment on clinical periodontal parameters and microbiological level .
Main Purpose: To evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy on soft tissue healing after tooth extraction at periodontal infection site, and to compare the effect on pain degree and bone tissue remodeling after tooth extraction.
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of ozonated olive oil in treating intra bony defect by means of clinical and radiographic parameters, and gingival cervicular fluid BMP2 level.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease is initiated by the oral microbial biofilm where in the response to this infection is mediated by various intracellular signalling pathways leading to the production of numerous bio-molecules. . Calprotectin is major cytoplasmic protein expressed in majority by neutrophils and as well seen in gingival epithelial cells, activated macrophages and vascular endothelial cells in minor amounts. Calprotectin is regarded as acute phase protein that increases during a variety of inflammatory diseases like periodontitis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Periostin is a marked anti-inflammatory protein belonging to fascilin family which actively contributed to tissue injury, fibrosis, atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases Hence this study aims to determine the expression of Calprotectin and Periostin as biomarkers and also as putative risk indicators in generalized chronic periodontitis subjects with or without cardiovascular disease before and after non-surgical therapy.
To evaluate the security and efficacy in the administration of encapsulated acellular system derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a novel regenerative endodontic procedure which to promote the pulpar regenration.
