Filter by:The objective of this project was to compare the immediate antimicrobial effect and in situ substantivity of a new 0.20% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel and cymenol with the current CHX gel formulation on dental plaque biofilm and salivary flora up to 7 hours after a single application.
This study aims to investigate the changes in saliva and dental plaque pH after consuming sugar-free chewing gum containing 5% of aqueous propolis in children aged between 8-11 years. The studied sample will be divided into two groups: Group A (Control group) placebo chewing gum, and Group B (Experimental group) aqueous propolis chewing gum. All children will experience both types of chewing gum with an interval of 1 week between the two studied groups.
PROMs questionnaires seem to be an effective tool to obtain a greater knowledge of the physical and emotional state of patients. Despite this, few studies have been performed using patient reported outcomes in Head & Neck (H&N) cancer patients during and after treatment. The use of a novel topical mucosa composition (Saliactive®) is studied along the use of questionnaires.
The objective of this research is to evaluate the oral modifications caused by different types of coke drinks (regular coke and diet coke). The salivary and the dental biofilm pH will be determined in the first minutes after their consumption. Additionally, the bacterial proliferation of dental biofilm will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to Using saliva stimulation to immediately improve heart failure inpatient's thirst sensation.
Preoperative antiseptic mouth rinses have been widely used as a standard protocol before routine dental treatment reduces oral microorganism counts. During dental procedures, aerosolized microorganisms contaminate the dental environment and nearby surfaces and remain suspended for 4 hours. Thus, the reduction in the number of aerosolized microorganisms by pre-procedural rinsing may reduce cross-contamination between dentists, office personnel, and patients. Recent reviews have advocated the use of preoperative rinsing to control and reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. However, no clinical studies have been done yet to support the effectiveness of any pre-procedural oral rinses against SARS-CoV-2. The proposed study will mitigate the spread of COVID-19 disease in dental healthcare facilities and ensure the patients' good health and healthcare workers. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of four commercially available mouth rinses povidone-iodine (PVP-I), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the salivary SARS-CoV-2 viral load at four-time points (baseline and 5-, 30-, and 60-min post rinsing) relative to two control groups (distilled water and no-rinse) in a cohort of positive COVID-19 patients.
Bubble tea drinks contain tea and tapioca pearls. Chewing tapioca pearls in bubble tea drinks may increase salivary components. Because of its proteins, inorganic components, and enzymes, saliva plays an important role in the body's defense against bacteria and viruses. This study aims to analyze the effect of chewing the tapioca pearls in bubble tea drinks on salivary C-reactive protein (CRP) and calcium (Ca) levels.
Given the current lack of effective COVID-19 treatment, it is necessary to explore alternative methods to contain the spread of the infection, focusing in particular on its mode of transmission. The modes of person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2 are direct transmission, such as sneezing, coughing, transmission through inhalation of small droplets, and transmission through contact, such as contact with nasal, oral and eye mucous membranes. SARS-CoV-2 can also be transmitted directly or indirectly through saliva. The use of antiviral mouthrinses may be used as adjunctive therapy.
Xerostomia is defined as the subjective complaint of dry mouth. Symptoms of dry mouth may range from mild oral discomfort to significant oral disease that can compromise patients' health, dietary intake and quality of life. Xerostomia is accompanied by numerous signs and symptoms mainly in the mucous membranes, lips, tongue, salivary glands and teeth. This study was designed to verify efficacy and safety of a novel dietary supplement (Aqualief),designed with the aim of stabilizing the saliva flux and pH at a neutral level and to improve the acid buffering capacity of saliva.
The study is design to assess if there is a correlation between diagnosis of preeclampsia and its severity to changes in HDL quality, in terms of composition and function and to determine whether preeclampsia-induced changes in VOCs in saliva can be used for the early diagnosis of preeclampsia.
