Active clinical trials for "Chronic Periodontitis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a probiotic lozenge containing Limosilactobacillus reuteri as an adjunct to the periodontal non-surgical treatment of patients with stage II, grade A, B and C, generalized periodontitis.

The purpose of the present study is to determine: 1) the efficacy of 2 periodontal surgical procedures, the conservative simplified papilla preservation technique and the more resective open flap debridement with osseous recontouring, in the treatment of chronic periodontitis in terms of clinical, radiographic, microbiological, immunological and PROMs, comparing them to non-surgical subgingival debridement and 2) if possible, determine the surgical procedure which leads to pocket elimination or to the lowest number of residual pockets.

This is a 12-month longitudinal, double-blind, parallel-design randomized controlled clinical trial involving surgical therapeutic intervention (Phase 4). It will include 50 participants aged 21 diagnosed with periodontitis (Stage III/IV, Grade A or B), divided into a Test Group (n=25, Minimally invasive single-flap surgery) and a Control Group (n=25, Minimally invasive double-flap surgery). The objective of this randomized, double-blind clinical study is to compare clinical, radiographic, and patient-centered outcomes between minimally invasive single-flap and double-flap techniques in treating isolated infra-bony defects. Twenty-five patients will be treated using the single-flap approach, and 25 patients will receive the double-flap elevation technique. Clinical parameters (plaque and bleeding scores, probing depth, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, and papillary dimensions), digital measurements (changes in gingival margin and papillary volume), radiographic assessments, and patient-centered outcomes (VAS scale) will be evaluated immediately before surgery, at 6 and 12 months post-procedure, while early healing will be assessed after 1 and 2 weeks following the procedures. Mean values and standard deviations will be calculated for each variable, normal distribution will be tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and comparisons will be conducted using Student's t-test and one-way ANOVA. A significance level of 5% will be used for all analyses.

The study is a single site, randomized clinical trial designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral treatment in periodontitis patients.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the capacity of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) to induce bone regeneration in patients with periodontal disease. MSC cultured are loaded on a collagen scaffold, included into autologous platelet rich plasma clot and implanted in the bone defect.

The principal objective of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of human dental pulp stem cells injection in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. The secondary objective is to provide the basis for dosage regimen for further clinical trials and to evaluate the preliminary efficacy.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly caused by the oral microbial biofilm. It involves the periodontal supporting tissues mainly features gum inflammation, alveolar bone resorption, periodontal pocket formation, and tooth loosening but also induces various systemic diseases, which seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients. The response to periodontal infection is mediated by various intracellular signalling pathways leading to the production of numerous bio-molecules. Vitronectin is a multifunctional protein with a multiple binding domain that interacts with a variety of plasma and cell proteins. It belongs to the group of adhesive glycoproteins that is involved in various functions including complement activation, blood coagulation, binding to proteoglycans, and modification of the matrix. Among the various cystatins expressed in serum and saliva, Fetuin-A, an another protein is produced majorly by healthy hepatic and adipose tissues. Fetuin-A has been recognized as a multifunctional molecule related to its role in metabolic processes, insulin resistance, regulation of adipogenesis and mineralization throughout the body. The study aims to determine the expression of Vitronectin and Fetuin-A as potential pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory biomarkers respectively. These protein molecules can further play a role as putative risk indicators in periodontitis subjects with and without coronary artery disease following non-surgical therapy.

The primary objective:To evaluate the efficacy of different administration protocols of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients. The secondary objective:To evaluate the safety of different administration protocols of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients. The exploratory objective:To investigate the effects of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells on biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid in chronic periodontitis patients.

This study aims to investigate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri as an adjunctive therapy to non-surgical periodontal treatment of chronic periodontitis with type 2 diabetes.

This study aims to compare two common oral hygiene routines on the improvement of glycemic control and oral health parameters in moderate to severe periodontitis patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It is currently unclear if one oral hygiene routine is more effective than the other. The two routines being compared are: Group 1: Scaling and root planing + oral hygiene routine with use of an electric toothbrush (Sonicare Diamond Clean Smart ®) along with its mobile app Group 2: Scaling and root planing + oral hygiene routine with use of manual toothbrush The specific aims of the study are: Aim 1: To assess the impact of Sonicare Diamond Clean Smart ® use on the glycemic control as an adjunct to scaling and root planing and oral hygiene instructions for T2DM patients with moderate to severe periodontitis patients. Aim 2: To assess oral health parameters which include clinical measurements and immune-inflammatory cytokines.
