Filter by:Evaluation of maxillary alveolar ridge changes (bone quantity and quality as revealed by Radiographic and Histomorphometry) utilizing microfragmented adipose tissue loaded on bovine graft versus bovine graft only for maxillary posterior ridge preservation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate impact of Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy (MINST) with and without splinting on clinical periodontal parameters and Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in periodontitis patients with mobile anterior teeth. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does splinting provide additional benefit to MINST alone for improving the clinical periodontal parameters ? - Does splinting provide additional benefit to MINST alone for improving OHRQoL ?
One of the main goals of orthodontic treatment is the reduction of treatment time through faster tooth movement. The previous studies evaluating platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) are limited, which makes the results difficult to generalize.
According to the CDC, approximately 47% of the population suffers from moderate or severe periodontitis. A byproduct of periodontal disease is loss of the alveolar bone surrounding the natural tooth root as well as around the dental implant in cases of peri-implantitis, and if allowed to proceed far enough, can cause mobility and eventual loss of the tooth or implant. Traditional and time-tested methods of treating periodontitis involve a meticulous mechanical cleaning of the root surfaces to remove the causing factors, both above and below the gumline. This reduction or elimination of the etiologic factors that trigger the pathologic and damaging immune response is very effective at reducing the inflammation. High Frequency Vibration (VPro+), when used as an adjunctive therapy following traditional treatment for periodontitis where the chronic inflammation has been lowered, controlled or eliminated has the potential to enhance the mechanical properties of the bone by increasing bone density by way of a low-risk, non-invasive, self-applied therapy that is patient-friendly and affordable. Improvement in bone density can translate clinically to lowering of tooth mobility, and lessening the chance of orthodontic relapse after orthodontic therapy. It is further hypothesized that, if conducted in an environment of low or nonexistent periodontal inflammation, VPro+ therapy may also contribute to enhanced the degree of bone fill after healing of angular periodontal bone defects and low-grade furcation involvements, and as thus may turn out to be a less invasive and more affordable option to periodontal bone grafting surgery, the current standard of care for those particular situations. The goal is to conduct a randomized clinical trial using patients in our graduate periodontology program to test the efficacy of high frequency vibration in improvement of tooth mobility and other periodontal indices in test group versus control group.
The aim of the study is to perform a clinical and radiographic evaluation of 70% Ethanol Alcohol versus Normal Saline as root canal irrigating solutions in partial pulpectomy of primary molars with Metapex.
The objective of this study is to compare functional splinting time effect versus the suggested splinting time of (IADT) effect on tooth mobility and possible healing outcomes for surgically extruded permanent anterior teeth with crown root fracture.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis that switching from cigarette smoking to using IQOS improves the response to periodontal therapy and the overall oral health status compared to continuing cigarette smoking. Note: "IQOS" is the Tobacco Heating System (THS) with Marlboro Heatsticks, marketed in Japan under the brand name IQOS
The purpose of this study is to determine whether fibre-reinforced composite resin restorations are effective for single tooth replacement, elimination of tooth mobility following periodontal treatment and as an orthodontic retainer.
Background/Aims: The Periotest® method represents a technique for objective tooth mobility assessment. The aims of this study were: 1. receiving information about normal Periotest® values in vertical and horizontal dimension on periodontally healthy teeth for individuals aged 20-35, 2. investigating the reliability of the Periotest® method in terms of intra-serial and inter-serial reproducibility before splinting and with an applied dental trauma splint, 3. evaluating the splint effect of two different wire-composite splints in vivo. Materials and Methods: On periodontally healthy dental students (n=33; mean age 24.7 years) Periotest® values were measured on reproducible measuring points, in vertical and horizontal dimension and before splinting and after splint insertion. Three readings were taken per serial to observe the intra-serial reproducibility, and for testing inter-serial reproducibility three serials were measured (Friedman-test; P ≤ 0.001). Two different wire-composite-splints (1 = Dentaflex 0.45 mm, 2 = Strengtheners 0.8x1.8) were inserted, the Periotest® values were measured and the splint effects were calculated and compared (Whitney-Mann-U-test; P ≤ 0.001).
