Active clinical trials for "Gingivitis"

The purpose of this study is to compare the anti-inflammatory efficacy of a dentifrice

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects the uptake of glucose into cells. This causes a cascade of systemic alterations that may lead to kidney failure, cardiovascular complications, altered tissue healing, retinopathies and gangrene. Diabetes is also associated to increased susceptibility to infections and inflammation. It has been observed that diabetic patients suffer more often from oral infections such as periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is an infectious-inflammatory disease that leads to destruction of the surrounding tissues of the tooth. It is proposed that the mechanisms responsible for systemic complication are implicated in the development of periodontal disease. This has been evaluated in studies where diabetic patients showed increased levels of inflammatory cytokines, subgingival bacteria and limited response to treatment. Its has also been suggested that established periodontitis in the diabetic patient leads to insulin resistance due to infection and liberation of cytokines from periodontal tissues and thus worsening the diabetic condition. This study is aimed to establish the response to periodontal treatment with antibiotics and the kinetics of glucose levels in diabetic patients.

The purpose of the proposed study is to compare the effect of chewing sticks (Miswak) and the toothbrushes on plaque removal and gingival health.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the interproximal plaque removal ability of Philips Sonicare Interproximal Cleaning Device to floss (Crest Glide) and Waterpik Waterflosser. In addition, we seek to learn more about the results of using this device on plaque accumulation and what biological processes influence the makeup of plaque and reduction of gingivitis.

The objective of the present study was to compare the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis effects of a commercially available dentifrice containing 0.6% Ilicis Rotundae Cortex extract to those of a control dentifrice without any active ingredient in 12 weeks of home use.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is effective in the treatment of periodontitis in adults.

The objective of this clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of a commercially available triclosan/copolymer toothpaste compared to a commercially available oral hygiene multi-component regimen encompassing the use of a manual toothbrush, a toothpaste containing stannous fluoride / sodium hexametaphosphate and a mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride relative to a negative control regimen in reducing established dental plaque and gingivitis over three and six months of assigned product use.

The objective of this randomized, single center, parallel clinical research study is to evaluate the comparative efficacy performance of three dentifrices -Colgate Total Toothpaste, Parodontax Toothpaste and Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste in controlling gingivitis and dental plaque in adults.

The present split-mouth controlled randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate clinical and histological results of acellular dermal matrix allograft (ADM) compared to autogenous free gingival graft (FGG)

The objective is to compare two commerical oral products for the treatment of gingivitis.
