Tooth DiscolorationTooth Sensitivity3 moreThe aim of the present project is to clinically evaluate the bleaching effectiveness, tooth sensitivity, gingival irritation and patient´s satisfaction during a at-home bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide using a conventional bleaching tray or a clear aligner.
Regular Home Use of Dual-light Photodynamic Therapy on Oral Health in Adolescents Undergoing Fixed...
Orthodontic Appliance ComplicationPlaque2 moreThis study is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method on oral health in adolescents undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the device might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
Home Use of Dual-light Photodynamic Therapy for Chronic Periodontitis
Periodontal DiseasesPeriodontitis3 moreThis early-stage research is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in chronic periodontitis patients. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the device might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
Herbal Pralines - Oral Health
PeriodontitisGingivitisThis randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled two-arm, parallel group clinical trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the consumption of two herbal pralines containing 200 mg nitrate on clinical signs of gingival inflammation (Bleeding on probing) without an accompanied professional mechanical plaque removal.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI)
Adolescent BehaviorDental Plaque2 moreThis is a Phase III, randomized, one-center, three arm parallel group, open label and single blind clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI) adjunctive to a smart powered toothbrush on the oral health of adolescents.
Impact of Pycnogenol® on Gingival Inflammation
PeriodontitisThis randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 2-arm, parallel group clinical trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the regular consumption of a polyphenol-containing Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster) bark extract (Pycnogenol®) on clinical signs of gingival inflammation in a cohort of periodontal aftercare patients
The Efficacy of Different Adjunctive Plaque Control Modalities in Orthodontic Patients
GingivitisBacterial plaque is the primary etiological factor for periodontal disease ranging from mild gingival inflammation to severe periodontitis.The fixed appliance can alter the microbial composition of the oral environment.Patients who wear fixed braces must perform optimum oral hygiene techniques .using a regular toothbrush alone for plaque removal is important but it is not adequate;therefore,an Adjunctive Plaque Control such as inter dental brush ,single tufted brush and water irrigator are helpful.the objective of this study To compare the efficacy of water irrigator ,single tufted and interdental brush in reducing gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation and To determine the profile of the salivary (MIF) at base line visit and after 4 weeks of the study .
Propolis Extract, Nanovitamin C and Nanovitamin E on Desquamative Gingivitis
Desquamative GingivitisObjective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a gel containing nanovitamin C, nanovitamin E and propolis extract compared to a placebo in the treatment of desquamative gingivitis (GD) in patients with mucocutaneous diseases with gingival involvement. The possible improvement in the quality of life of these patients after treatment will also be evaluated. Study design: Double-blind, randomized controlled study. Patients: GD patients are being selected from the Postgraduate 'Specialist in Oral Medicine' of the Faculty of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid. Allocation: Patients are being randomly assigned to the study group (dental prophylaxis + oral hygiene instructions + use of propolis gel for 4 weeks) or to the placebo group (dental prophylaxis + oral hygiene instructions + use of placebo gel for 4 weeks ). Both the study gel and the placebo are being used for brushing their teeth and for application in areas with GD. Variables: The severity of the GD will be collected according to the scale of Arduino et al. 2017 and the periodontal variables (plaque index, probing bleeding index and probing depth). Pain during treatment will be recorded using a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS). The quality of life in relation to oral health will be recorded using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. These variables will be collected on day 0, 2 and 4 weeks after using the study gel or placebo.
