Filter by:This is a prospective, longitudinal, observational, cohort study investigating young adults undergoing surgical extraction of a wisdom tooth with and without antibiotics post-operatively. The prescription of antibiotics will be based on clinical judgment based on case complexity, trauma and length of procedure. No randomization will be performed. Saliva will be collected at seven observational time points ( Baseline, one week ,two weeks, three weeks , one month,three months and six months.) and Supragingival plaque samples will be collected at four observational time points ( Baseline , one week , one month, and 3 months) .A control group of 15 subjects who do not undergo dental extractions or antibiotic treatment will be recruited after obtaining informed consent and will be followed up for the same seven time points..Routine standard care will be observed. No new medications are triedThe samples will be analysed for identification of bacterial genes using 16 S r RNA gene sequecing and QPCR for change in the antibiotic resistance genes overtime. Kindly note that in the current study the participants are patients who are already scheduled to undergo tooth extractions with or without antibiotic treatment based on clinical judgement by the clinician performing the extraction. ( These patients are on the waiting list for third molar extractions in the dental hospital concerned.) The participants will receive the intervention( Third molar extraction with /without antibiotics) in the same manner and intensity even if they are not enrolled for the study.
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate and compare the effect of piezoelectric surgery on tissue, cellular and molecular level of oral surgical wound healing and postoperative outcomes (pain, swelling, trismus) after lower third molar surgery in healthy patients
The study composed of sixty patients, each of whom required surgical extraction of a single impacted mandibular third molar under local anaesthesia. The patients were randomly allocated to one of 3 groups of 20 each. The three groups were categorized as Group A (intramuscular dexamethasone), Group B (submucosal dexamethasone) and Group C (control). The objective measurements of facial pain, swelling, and trismus was performed by an independent examiner at baseline (preoperatively), and at days 1, 3, and 7 postoperatively.
Purpose: This prospective randomized comparative clinical study was conducted to assess the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel on soft tissue healing and bone regeneration potential on lower third molar extraction sockets. Methods: For the study, 50 Patients (37 male, 13 female) requiring surgical removal of a lower impacted third molar and who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited. The patients were categorized into two groups, Group A and Group B. For each group 25 patients were randomly allocated. The predictor variable in Group A was the application of PRP Gel whereas in Group B had no PRP. Postoperative pain, swelling, trismus, soft tissue healing and osseous regeneration was assessed using standard methods. These outcome variables were assessed on 1, 3-, 5-, 7-, and 14-postoperative day. Patients were recalled at the 4th, 10th, and 16th postoperative week for assessment of bone healing. The data were recorded and tabulated.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the nature of the change in oral and gut bacterial resistance profiles after antibiotic therapy for a surgical procedure in two groups. The intervention group will receive a course of amoxicillin and analgesics after surgical extraction and have bacterial samples taken from saliva, tongue coatings and stool samples at four appointments over a period of six months. This will be compared to the control group which receive only analgesics after the surgical extraction. An examination of the development and sustainability of antibiotic resistance in the oral and gut microbiome of healthy cohorts will be followed up for 6 months, after surgical extraction of impacted teeth. Change in proportion of antibiotic resistant bacterial components will be studied using Metagenomic DNA sequencing and quantification of resistant genes .
This is a prospective, open-labeled clinical trial. Subjects that qualify for enrollment and provide informed consent will be treated with a novel topical cerumen (earwax) removal product. The primary goal of this pilot study is to gain an understanding of the safety and efficacy of this novel product.
A prospective study examining bilateral 3rd molar extraction, by a split mouth protocol the investigators augment unilaterally and compare periodontal parameters in between.
The investigators will select 30 patients with symmetrical impaction of third molars, according to Pell and Gregory dental impaction classification, who would be submitted to two surgical procedures, right and left, and in both surgeries dexamethasone 8 mg was administered in the pre-surgery phase, and the use of dexamethasone (12 mg/day) for 3 days on one side and diclofenac sodium (150 mg/day) for 3 days on the other side was continued, in a randomized, double-blind and cross-over trial so that all patients acted as control of themselves (split-mouth). Other drugs used in postoperative period, rescue analgesic and antibiotic therapy will be identical for all patients. The analyzed variables will be the visual analogue pain scale (VAS), total number of consumed analgesics, swelling and trismus (objectively), which were statistically analyzed by means of Student's t-test.
In this investigation the investigators would like to find out which of two commonly used techniques of management of palatally impacted canines: closed-window (CWT) or open-window (OWT), produces more favorable outcome.
It will be evaluated the clinical efficacy of Diclofenac 50mg (NSAID) compared to its association with Codeine 50mg (opioid) administered in 50 patients requiring extraction of two third molars. After assessing the research parameters, a comparative data analysis, along with the proper application of statistical tests, will provide the basis for an evaluation of both efficiency medications used.
