Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) as a local sustained released device for antibiotics.
The objectives of this study are to analyze the oral microbiome modulations occurring during the transition from partial (with some residual teeth) to full edentulous (without remaining teeth) status and implant placement in subjects affected by severe periodontitis; to evaluate if microbiome changes in relation to the used of different implant material/surface; and to assess the variance of the changes to determine the sample size for future longitudinal prospective studies.
Periodontitis is a destructive inflammatory disease of tooth supporting tissues and it adversely affects oral and general health as well as lowering the quality of life. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy is a gold standard technique for treating mild to moderate periodontitis and it was reported to significantly improve oral health related quality of life.
The present study aimed to assess the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on serum and salivary chemerin, fetuin-A, IL-34 and IL-13 levels in periodontitis with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. 22 non-periodontitis, 22 non-periodontitis with DM, 22 Stage III/IV Grade C periodontitis, 22 tage III/IV Grade C periodontitis with well-controlled DM and 22 tage III/IV Grade C periodontitis with poorly-controlled DM patients were enrolled. At baseline, serum and saliva samples were collected, and the whole mouth clinical periodontal parameters were recorded from all subjects. Periodontitis patients received non-surgical periodontal therapy. Clinical parameters were re-measured, and samples were re-collected 1 and 3 months after therapy from periodontitis patients. Serum and salivary protein levels were analyzed by ELISA. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
T Regulatory cells which suppressor subset of T cells and related cytokines remain in blood and infiltrates into the tissue under need. The role of Treg and related cytokines in succession of periodontal inflammation is recently a subject of research interest. Chronic gingivitis and periodontitis being chronic inflammatory diseases can upregulate various cytokines in the systemic circulation and gingival crevicular fluid. This study aimed to compare levels of Tregs with Interleukin-21, 22, 33, 35 and vitamin D-binding protein in blood and GCF of periodontally healthy persons, chronic gingivitis patients, and severe chronic periodontitis patients.
The number of CF adults is increasing year after year (61.7% in 2021) confirming that patients are living longer. These data do not leave aside the desire to see CF patients "age well" considering of all the comorbidities linked to aging. Among these comorbidities, the oral repercussions of cystic fibrosis and its treatments remain to this day little investigated. We know, however, that oral health, and periodontal health, is closely linked to general health. Indeed, the oral cavity presents one of the richest microbiota in the body, made up of bacteria, viruses, yeasts and archae organized into a biofilm at the interface of periodontal tissues. Periodontal diseases are partly linked to an imbalance in and loss of diversity within the commensal periodontal flora, aggravated by risk factors such as diabetes, which affects many CF adults. Early detection and treatment of periodontal diseases are therefore of primary interest in patients at increased risk of respiratory infections such as CF patients. This transversal research project aims to study the oral repercussions, notably periodontal disease prevalence in cystic fibrosis (CF) adult patients. Thus, this program will allow, on the one hand, the acquisition of clinical and biological data on periodontal and/or dental pathologies from which adult CF patients may suffer. These data will be accessible through an oral and periodontal clinical examination that will allow the identification of diagnostic clues. The quality of life related to oral health will also be investigated using a self-administered questionnaire. Clinical and biological data commonly recorded in the context of the medical follow-up of CF patients (ventilatory capacity, glycemic status, cytobacteriological examination of sputum, etc.) will also be taken into account in order to study any correlations with periodontal status. On the other hand, on a more fundamental level, this work aims to investigate the impact of CFTR protein dysfunction on the local immunity of the oral cavity and more particularly on the expression of antimicrobial peptides at the level of the periodontium. Thus this project is articulated around a strong axis which is "aging well" for adult CF patients thanks to the improvement of knowledge and ultimately the prevention of comorbidities linked to aging in CF adult patients and particularly those related to oral health.
Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammatory disease and antibiotic use is being empirically used as part of its treatment. However, a clinical practice guideline on periodontal treatment adjuncts published in 2015 identified weak evidence on the use of systemic antibiotics and large heterogeneity across small scale studies, suggesting that larger pragmatic clinical trials would benefit clinical decision making. This will be a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, stratified by practice and practitioner. The study will investigate the effectiveness of adjunctive antibiotics as adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) compared to SRP with placebo for the treatment of generalized stage II-III, grades A-C periodontitis in approximately 544 patient participants from about 34 National Dental PBRN practices. Periodontal data will be collected at baseline, re-evaluation (6 weeks), and final (12 months) study visits. Changes in periodontal clinical and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed to determine the effectiveness of SRP plus adjunctive systemic Amoxicillin / Metronidazole antibiotics (AMXM) versus SRP with Placebo.
The aim of this study is to evaluate in vivo the post operative pain after laser root canal treatment in necrotic teeth in an evidence-based clinical trial. The null hypothesis being tested is that there is no difference in post operative pain between conventional irrigation and the two types of lasers used. Thirty patients are equally divided into 3 separate groups : - Group A (Conventional): 2.5% NaOCL and 17% EDTA. - Group B(Dual): saline along with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser combination - Group C(Combined): saline along with 17% EDTA and diode laser combination Each patient is given pain scale chart Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to record his/her pain level before any endodontic treatment. All data will be collected, tabulated, summarized, and statistically analyzed.
The purpose of this observational study is to identify the dental and periodontal health issues, oral hygiene practices, and potential relationships between them by assessing the variables that may have an impact on them.The main questions its aims to answer are: Is there a relationship between compliance with the Mediterranean diet and periodontal status? Is there a relationship between physical activity and periodontal status?
There is a known correlation between oral health and systemic disease. Particularly significant evidences associate periodontal bacteria and tooth loss to systemic disorders and specifically to cardiovascular disease, such as high BP. Furthermore, a correlation between periodontal disease and hypertension has been recently reported ESRD and the medications used by those patients create complications in a variety of systems and organs, which frequently worsens or causes new pathologies in the oral cavity, such as caries, periodontal disease, and different mucosal lesions. Therefore, the current trial was set up to first evaluate the effect of thyme honey oral rinse in ESRD patients with periodontitis using CAL as a primary objective, and to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of thyme honey oral rinse in ESRD patients with periodontitis on bleeding on probing (BOP) and plaque index, and salivary NO levels as secondary objectives.
