Active clinical trials for "Gingivitis"

PCOS is a widely reported condition among young female population and anti-androgen agents are increasingly being used as part of the medical management of such cases. However, Clinical studies have reported higher prevalence of gingival inflammation, loss of attachment and gingival enlargement in women taking hormone based oral contraceptives. Additionally, CPA has been reported to have an osteoclastic action. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the effects of these medications on the periodontal condition of PCOS patients having gingivitis, who already are pre-disposed to systemic inflammation. Therefore, the present study aims to longitudinally evaluate the effect of CPA/EE combination regimen on the periodontal status of female patients diagnosed with PCOS with pre-existing gingivitis..

Therefore, it is necessary to explore whether these medications affect the periodontal condition of PCOS patients, who already are pre-disposed to systemic inflammation. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the periodontal status of female patients diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary syndrome on Cyproterone acetate/ethinyl estradiol combination regimen.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental mouth rinse formulations compared to a positive control mouth rinse and a hydroalcohol control mouth rinse for the reduction of gingivitis and plaque when used as an adjunct to tooth brushing during a six-week product usage period.

A Phase 2a Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Complement 3 Inhibitor Analog, AMY-101, in Adults with gingivitis. The study is a 3-month randomized, double-blind, split-mouth study of adults with existing chronic periodontal inflammation determined by the level of gingival index and bleeding on probing. The primary endpoint of change in gingival index will be evaluated at 21, 28 and 90 days after initial treatment (baseline treatment). Subjects will also be followed at Day 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 90 for safety evaluations. Change in bleeding on probing plaque index, pocket depth, clinical attachment level and GCF levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and complement factors will be assessed as secondary outcome measures. Composition of subgingival biofilm will be assessed as an exploratory endpoint. Subjects who meet inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study and sites will be randomized to treatment groups (AMY-101 or placebo) in split mouth design. After clinical assessments and sample collection at baseline, both test and placebo treatments will be administered to each of the interproximal papilla and will be repeated on Day 7 and 14.

The objective of this clinical study is to assess the effects of a 0.454% stannous fluoride dentifrice on gingivitis and plaque after 3 months when compared to a negative control.

The objective of this clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of three oral hygiene multi-component regimens encompassing the use of a manual toothbrush, toothpaste and a mouthwash in controlling established dental plaque and gingivitis.

The present study was a randomized control clinical trial, which included 90 subjects with chronic generalised gingivitis of age group 25-40 years, reporting to outpatient department of Periodontics, Government Dental College & Research Institute, Bangalore form January 2013 to April 2013. The research protocol was initially submitted and approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee and Review Board of the Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore. After ethical approval, all subjects were verbally informed and written signed informed consent was taken for participation in the study. Ninety subjects diagnosed with chronic generalized gingivitis were randomly assigned into three groups: Group I: Placebo mouthwash, Group II: Triphala (TRP) mouthwash, Group III: Chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash. Subjects were instructed to use mouth wash twice daily. The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and oral hygiene index- simplified (OHI-S) and microbiological colony counts were recorded on baseline (B/L) and 7, 30 and 60 days respectively. TRP mouthwash was found to decrease the inflammatory parameters. As improvement in gingivitis was comparable to that of CHX mouthwash thus TRP mouthwash can be considered as a potential therapeutic agent in treatment of gingivitis.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been seen as the predominant way of treating disease in China over three thousand years. Certain TCM have scientifically proved to have anti-bacterial property. Patients having orthodontic treatment have higher risks of caries and gum diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of TCM Mouthrinses in addition to toothbrushing and flossing has an added benefit for orthodontic patients in maintaining proper oral health.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tooth and interproximal cleaning modalities with and without chemistry on oral health over 28 days.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a dentifrice containing L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate magnesium salt on gingival inflammation, gingival bleeding and gingival redness.
