Filter by:Intrinsic apoptosis pathway plays a critical role in the host immune defense and inflammation and its dysregulation is involved in various chronic diseases. Bcl-2 protein family primarly mediates this mitochondrial pathway. This study aimed to investigate the pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-xl levels and their association with interleukin-22 (IL-22) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with periodontitis. In total 75 systemically healthy and non-smoker individuals consisting of stage III periodontitis (n=23), gingivitis (n=26), periodontally healthy (n=26) were enrolled. Whole-mouth clinical periodontal measurements were recorded. Bax, Bcl-xl, IL-22 and TGF-β1 levels in GCF were determined by ELISA. Data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests.
The aim of the present cross-sectional study is to assess the presence of AP and caries in psoriasis vulgaris individuals and to examine whether these medications influence these oral conditions. Therefore, 154 patients diagnosed with psoriasis were included in the study and subjected to oral examination to assess for presence of periapical lesions and caries experience.
Routine non surgical periodontal thearpy often fails to achieve complete elimination of pathogenic microorganism. This could be attiributable to deep periodontal pockets, root concavities, furcation involvement etc. Systemic and local antimicrobials have been used adjunctively with scaling and root planning to optimize the results. They have their own draw backs namely antibiotic resistance and narrow spectrum of action over periodontal pathogens. In the last decade lasers applications have diversified occupying greater part of the periodontal treatment strategies. Photodynamic thearpy has shown conflicting results as a adjunctive thearpy. The routinely used dyes are Methyelene blue, indocyanine green and rose bengal .These dyes are difficult to procure and may not be economical . Hydrogen peroxide due to its super radicals has a local antimicrobial effect. Since hydrogen peroxide can be easily available in a clinical setting and is cost effective. It could be used for photodisinfection . From the near-infrared spectrum lasers, the Nd-YAG laser can remove periodontal pathogens because of its thermal effect. However, changes in the neighboring tissues can be attributed to these unwanted thermal effects. The diode lasers that belong to the 655-980 nm spectrum could represent a safer alternative.Because of the transmission or scattering effect on hydroxyapatite, diode lasers have no effect on calculus. Anaerobic bacterial species intermedia produce black pigments in Brucella media from blood agar. Hemoglobin in the soft periodontal tissues behaves like a chromophore, being absorbed by the diode laser. Photoactivated procedure use photolysis of hydrogen peroxide with 810nm laser. It acts as an endogenous dye, which can increase the laser effect at this level and also generate ROS stopped immediately after the laser irridation. Therefore, the diode laser stimulation of 3%hydrogen peroxide has been utilized adjuvantive to SRP to optimize clinical outcome.
Aim: This clinical study aims to compare post-operative pain after single-visit root canal treatment of teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis using epoxy-resin based AH Plus and calcium silicate based Endosequence BC sealers with or without sonic activation. Materials and Methods: The study included 72 individuals having one first or second mandibular premolar tooth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. They were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the root canal sealer (AH Plus or Endosequence BC) and activation protocol (sonic activation or non-activation) (n=18). Participants were ask to rate their post-operative pain intensity on a NRS scale as none, minimal, moderate, or severe after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days following treatment. Patients were also asked to record the number of prescribed analgesic medication tablets (ibuprofen 400 mg) taken. The collected data were statistically analyzed at 0.05 significance level.
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is a vegetable oil extracted from coconut fleshcontains unsaturated fatty acids in the form of oleic acid and linoleic acid and flavonoids which function as anti-inflammatory. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues with a high prevalence worldwide. The main etiology of plaque periodontitis is biofilm containing colonies of pathogenic microorganisms. The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the effect of scaling and root debridement alone versus the use of topically applied coconut oil as adjunctive to scaling and root debridement in treatment of Stage II and III Grade B periodontitis.
This study aimed to compare the distribution of subgingival periodontal pathogens following non-surgical periodontal therapy in smoking and non-smoking people with periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does smoking affect the results of non-surgical periodontal treatment on subgingival flora in participants with periodontal disease? Researchers performed non-surgical periodontal therapy on 48 participants with stage III/IV periodontitis and recorded clinical measurements. They obtained subgingival plaque samples from periodontal pockets at the onset and after four weeks of treatment, determining the level of periodontopathogens using a polymerase chain reaction-based method.
Introduction: The aim of this study comparing the post operative pain after the retreatment of asymptomatic and symptomatic teeth that during single visit treatment with rotary and reciprocal nickel titanium files. Methods: One hundred and forty one patients scheduled for non-surgical endodontic retreatment were included for evaluation. Eighty five patients who needed endodontic retreatment were assingned to 2 groups according to semptomatic or asemptomatic teeth and 4 subgroups with rotary and resiprocal files. Endodontic filling material was removed with One Flare and MicroMega REMOVER files in the retreatment kit. Patients then recorded their postoperative pain on a VAS scale at 24h, 48h, 72h, 7 days and 14 days post-treatment. Results were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn-Bonferroni and Pearson Chi-square tests.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between healing response after non-surgical periodontal treatment and baseline gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1ß).
This study evaluates postoperative pain and radiographic healing of asymptomatic posterior teeth with chronic apical periodontitis following root-canal treatment performed using EndoActivator for irrigation activation.
It was aimed to evaluate the changes in the levels of Periostin, IL-17A and IL-17E cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontitis patients which non-surgical (Phase I) periodontal treatment applied to and their interactions with smoking. The study included systemic healthy smokers(SP)(n:11) and non-smokers(P)(n:11) with periodontitis, smokers (SS)(n:11) and non-smokers(S)(n:11) with periodontal healthy individuals Phase I periodontal treatment was applied to the groups with periodontitis. Before treatment (day 0), clinical measurements evaluating periodontal status were recorded and GCF samples were collected. GCF samples were collected from the same tooth regions on the 15th and 30th days after treatment and clinical measurements were repeated. GCF Periostin, IL-17A and IL-17E levels were determined by ELISA method. All data were evaluated statistically.
