Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of propolis on the treatment of oral candidiasis, more specifically denture stomatitis. Half of participants will receive a standardized-propolis (EPP-AF®) gel formulation while the other half will receive miconazole gel, both for oral use.
Denture stomatitis (DS) is an oral biofilm associated inflammatory disease of the palatal mucosa. It is the most prevalent oral disease and the main indicator of poor oral health among denture wearers, affecting one-third of all complete denture wearers. The etiology of DS is multifactorial, with documented role of mechanical trauma, bacteria and fungi. Risk factors may include, poor oral hygiene and nocturnal use of dentures. However, the evidence is ambiguous, inconclusive and recurrence following routine antifungal therapy is common. The proposed study is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of palatal brushing in reducing the colony forming unit (CFU) count and clinical inflammation. The assessment of change in CFU count and clinical inflammation will be carried out at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.
Several dental professionals recommend that complete denture wearers should brush their palate. Some advantages include better cleansing and blood flow, which may help to prevent or treat oral infections, such as denture-related stomatitis. However, there is no previous clinical trial dealing on that subject. Therefore, our goal is to evaluate whether palatal brushing may change the severity of denture stomatitis or counts of microbes on dentures and mucosa. After an initial exam and data collection, participants will receive instructions for palatal hygiene and will be assessed following 1 and 3 months. Collected data include patient-reported information, intraoral photographs and swabbing (for counting microbes). Tested Hypotheses: - There is no difference in the extent of palatal inflammation in edentulous patients with denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing. - There is no difference in the number of colony forming unit (CFU) of Candida isolated from palate and denture of patients affected by denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of presence of oral fungal infection, which leads to denture-related stomatitis, on blood pressure, endothelial function and immune cell phenotype in patients wearing dentures.
Palatal brushing has several advantages including removal of debris and stimulation of blood flow and saliva, which may help to prevent or treat oral diseases, such as denture-related stomatitis in complete denture wearers. However, there is no previous clinical trial testing this effect. Therefore, the investigators goal is to evaluate whether palatal brushing may change the severity of denture stomatitis and counts of microbes on denture and palatal mucosa. After an initial exam and data collection, participants will receive instructions about palatal brushing and they will be assessed after 1 and 3 months. Collection of data will include patient-reported information, intraoral photographs and swabbing (for counting microbes). Tested Hypotheses: - There is no difference in the extent of palatal inflammation in edentulous patients with denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing. - There is no difference in the number of colony forming unit (CFU) of Candida isolated from palate and denture of patients affected by denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing.
This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of three experimental dentifrices to remove denture biofilm. Complete denture wearers will be instructed to brush their dentures with a specific toothbrush and four compositions: (1) A proprietary denture-specific paste (active comparator); (2) 0.2% chloramine T; (3) 1.0% chloramine T; (4) 0.01% fluorosurfactant. Each treatment will be used for periods of 7 days, and participants will be randomized to use them according to one of four sequences.
The purpose of this study is to assess if a propolis solution is able to remove plaque and kill microbes from complete dentures. The investigators will compare the results of the propolis-based denture cleanser with those obtained with an inactive solution.
The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of aqueous extract of garlic with nystatin mouthwash in denture stomatitis.
Background: Oral candidiasis is most frequently found among the elderly .It is accompanied with oral pain, irritation, burning sensation. In addition, the altered taste sensation may cause nutrition compromise, which may affect ones diet. Management of superficial oral Candida is usually achieved by treatment with clotrimazole, a fungi static drug which is given five times per day with instruction to slowly suck on it with out the dentures. Working hypothesis and aims: Management of oral candidiasis is feasible. The major disadvantage of the mode of action now days is the substantively of the drug in the oral cavity and patient compliance. A sustained release varnish which is easily applied on the dentures, which also release the anti fungal drug for at least a day, may overcome some of the pit falls of the treatment applied today. Based on our past experience, in developing local sustained release varnishes for dental use, we anticipate that we can also formulate a special anti fungal sustained release varnish which will fit the special and unique needs of the elderly population. Methods: Sustained release varnish will be developed in our laboratory. The kinetics of release (using HPLC) and antifungal activity (Bioassays) will be examined in vitro. The formulation showing the optimal results will be tested on human subjects with oral candidiasis. The efficacy of the varnish will be examined clinically (reduction in symptoms), microbiology (reduction of oral fungal), pharmaceutically (release kinetics in vivo). Expected results: The clinical out come of one time varnish application will be improved compared to the five times application of lozenges (used today). The severity of the disease should decrease and the healing period should be shorten drastically. Importance: This is a novel pharmaceutical development of a local application of a dental varnish designed specially to the elderly population
