Active clinical trials for "Gingival Diseases"

Comparative study on the efficacy of two mouthwashes Containing Fatty Acids Compounds (F.A.G.) or Stannous Fluoride in the reduction of plaque score in individuals with spontaneous gengivitis

This study evaluates the adjunctive use of Centella Asiatica (gotukola) to scaling in the reduction of plaque and gingival inflammation. Patients were divided into three groups of which group 1 received scaling and gotukola mouthwash, group 2 received scaling only and group 3 received gotukola mouthwash only.

The gold standard for the treatment of gingival recession, is the coronal repositioning of the flap associated with the subepithelial connective tissue graft. The acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been used as a substitute a subepithelial connective tissue graft in periodontal plastic surgery and mucogengivais, and has achieved similar results. The use of ADM has the advantage of avoiding possible pre and postoperative complications, as well as overcome the limitations presented by autograft. The different surgical techniques used for root coverage seek predictability and success. For this, besides the type of incision placements flap and graft are of utmost importance because the healing benefit and outcome. The aim of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for root coverage and evaluate which one provides better cosmetic results and less morbidity . 20 adults , nonsmoking patients , showing multiple bilateral gingival recessions , class I or II Miller located in canine, first and second premolars are selected. Both techniques use the ADM as a graft. However , in one Quadrant partial flap will be held together with relaxing incisions through an incision intrasucular , ADM will be positioned 1 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the flap will be positioned 1 mm coronal CEJ. In the opposite quadrant a minimally invasive technique periosteal envelope above does not use relaxing incisions , preserves the buds will be held , as well as avoiding any scars, the graft will be used to ADM. The clinical parameters (probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing index, height and width of the gingival retraction and height and thickness of keratinized gingiva) will be evaluated 2 weeks after the basic periodontal therapy and after 6 and 12 months to surgical procedures. In addition, measurements of photographic gingival recession with the aid of software will be performed.

Introduction: Gingival recession is a lesion characterized by the loss of attachment of root surface of the tooth, resulting in an apical migration of the gingival margin that occasionally generates aesthetic problems, hypersensitivity and difficulty in maintaining proper hygiene. Several anatomical factors have been associated both with the incidence and progression of gingival recession and with the prognosis of the surgical treatments proposed for its correction. These factors include the absence of keratinized tissue, the gingival phenotype, root prominence and shallow vesrtibular depth. Objectives: The objective of the study is to evaluate, through a series of prospective cases, the influence of each of the anatomical factors on the success of root coverage. Methods: 20 patients with gingival recession defects will be treated with CAF+CTG using various autogenous gingival graft. Three-dimensional analysis of superimposed preoperative and postoperative images will be performed. Linear and surface root coverage will be calculated and correlated to various anatomical parameters such as vestibular depth and root prominence. A multilevel statistical analysis will be conducted, adjusting for the correlation among multiple observations.

The LENTO study sample includes the caregivers and their clients living in eastern Finland. The aims of this study are to study the nutritional status, oral health, coping, functional capacity and quality of life to find out how individual nutrition and oral health counseling received for caregivers affect on the nutritional status and oral health of caregivers and their clients develop an operating model to maintain good nutrition and oral health.

To collect GCF (gingival crevicular fluid) samples from diseased patients suffering only from gingivitis and/or periodontitis.

This study compared the clinical outcomes of coronally advanced flap using two different surgical strategies in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions.

This retrospective study will evaluate the patient collective of the Division of Oral Surgery and Orthodontics, Department of Dental Medicine and Oral Health and of the Division of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery at the Medical University Graz concerning the frequency of epulis/giant cell lesion or underlying differential diagnoses and immunophenotypes as well as the resulting treatment methods and their success and compare these with international results

This study is a double-blind, randomised, parallel group efficacy study. A minimum of 240 healthy female and male participants aged over 18 years will participate. The participants will be randomised into two groups. Participants will be randomly assigned to the test groups according the allocation table prepared by the Statistician. Participants will be enrolled on to the study according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. After enrollment participants will have their teeth cleaned using a professional prophylaxis polish by the study hygienist. The participants will then be provided with a standard cosmetic silica fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush to use at home, twice a day for up to four weeks. After this time, they will return to the test site and have the baseline dental assessments. Participants will then be randomly allocated to one of the two test products which they will use at home, twice a day for the duration of the study. Dental assessments will be conducted after 13 and 26 weeks of product use at the study site.

Periodontal disease- Inflammatory, Multifactorial, and Threshold disease. Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent dental disease, an almost 100% prevalence in developing countries. Non-surgical periodontal includes scaling and root planing (SRP) an essential part of successful periodontal therapy. The spread of infection through aerosol and splatter has long been considered one of the main reason for the possible transmission of infectious agents and their ill effects on The Health of patients and Dental Health care Professionals. Aerosols are generated during Tooth preparation/Rotary instrument/ air abrasion/Air-water syringe, Ultrasonic scaler, and while doing Air polishing. Studies have also reported an association of these aerosols with Respiratory infections, Ophthalmic and Skin infections, Tuberculosis, and Hepatitis B. current research suggests that having patients use an antimicrobial rinse before treatment may decrease microbial aerosols. Chlorhexidine mouthwash is regarded as Gold Standard mouthwash but, have many local side effects including have many local side effects including extrinsic tooth and tongue brown staining, taste disturbance, enhanced supragingival calculus formation, less commonly, desquamation of oral mucosa, and even liver damage in rats. In the emerging era of pharmaceuticals, herbal medicines with their naturally occurring active ingredients offer a gentle and enduring way for the restoration of health by the least harmful method. Ocimum Sanctum (Tulsi) is known as THE QUEEN OF HERBS effective in reducing plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, and bleeding & has no side effects as compared to Chlorhexidine. Very few studies which can be counted on fingers have been conducted worldwide in this direction, globally showing their beneficial effects.
