Active clinical trials for "Gingivitis"

A commercially available mouth rinse with ethyl lauroyl arginate and essential oils claims to have enhanced antimicrobial properties as compared to the traditional essential oil products. The aim of the present study was to compare the plaque and gingivitis inhibiting effect of the commercial product containing essential oils with ethyl lauroyl arginate with one placebo and one negative control in a modified experimental gingivitis model. In three groups of healthy volunteers, experimental gingivitis was induced and monitored over 21 days, simultaneously treated with the commercial test solution, 21.6% hydro-alcohol solution and sterile water respectively. The maxillary right quadrant of each individual received mouthwash only, whereas the maxillary left quadrant was subject to both rinsing and mechanical oral hygiene. Compliance and side effects were monitored at day 7, 14, and 21. Plaque and gingivitis scores were obtained at baseline and at day 21.

In this study, half of the participants will be asked to floss as normal, while the other half will receive professional instructions on flossing from a dentist. The investigators want to see if the participants who have professional flossing instructions are able to remove plaque in between the teeth more effectively, and have less gum bleeding over time. The investigators also want to see if participants who receive professional flossing instructions get better at the technique over time, and if they can match the dentist's skill by the end of the study.

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.

Mouthrinses have been in used for centuries as breath fresheners, medicaments, and antiseptics. Recently, propolis has caught the eyes of dentists worldwide and researches are being carried out to infuse the usage of propolis in the dental health care treatments. There is belief that propolis may have a role as a tooth decay prophylaxis and help heal oral ulcers. Propolis is used as mouthwash, toothpaste, oral gel, and throat lozenges because of its proclaimed antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Propolis has shown activity against common periodontal microorganisms, such as Candida species and the Streptococci mutans in vitro studies. Till date, no study has evaluated the clinical and microbiological effects of Malaysian Propolis as a mouthwash. Thus, the present study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Propolis as a mouthwash in the reduction of Plaque and gingivitis.The aim of the study is to assess and compare the effectiveness of Propolis mouthrinse with Chlorhexidine mouthrinse.

The aim of the present research protocol was to evaluate the effect of probiotics daily used, on the plaque acidogenicity of children. The null hypothesis was that the plaque acidogenicity would remain unchanged and not associate with the use of probiotics. Moreover, the in situ study will be carried out to investigate the plaque formation as biofilm in demineralised enamel specimens following the regular consumption of a probiotic product compared to a control group. Metabolic of the biofilm formed on of the enamel specimens resulting from the consumption will be evaluated over a period of 8 weeks.

The use of mouthrinses may be of relevance as a complement to daily dental hygiene procedures, especially for patients who do not comply with a proper mechanical removal of dental plaque. Essential oils and delmopinol mouthrinses are effective to reduce dental plaque accumulation and gingivitis. Also an effect on dental bacteria can be found. The study hypothesis states that there are no differences between the mouthrinses on the reduction of gingivitis and dental plaque accumulation as well on the bacterial counts of Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

It is well accepted that the greatest contributor to the health of the periodontium and dentition is regular and thorough dental plaque removal, typically by means of adequate toothbrushing. Although patients are typically informed about the risks of substandard oral hygiene and the contributing factors in oral/dental disease by dental professionals, research has shown that an undesirably high proportion of adults find thorough toothbrushing with a standard manual toothbrush to achieve a plaque-free state challenging, as evidenced by high worldwide levels of gingivitis and/or periodontitis.

During orthodontic treatment intraoral corrosion results with release of nickel and titanium ions from orthodontic appliances in surrounding tissues. Those transported in the saliva and blood may cause a series of side effects from hypersensitivity reactions and soft tissue proliferation to cyto and genotoxicity. Nickel is one of the strongest contact allergens, present in numerous dental alloys. The aim of this project is to investigate the immune potential of nickel and titan ions (development of allergies, changes in cariogenic potential of dental plaque, resistance of gingivitis to therapy, and bacterial resistance to antibiotics) and changes in performance of orthodontic appliances with repercussion on regeneration of bone and periodontal tissues.

To assess the effect of a test antimicrobial oral rinse from Next Science on the prevention of oral biofilm formation and thereby preventing gingivitis by monitoring the oral microbial flora and measuring gingival inflammation and bleeding.

This study evaluates behavioral interventions to increase adolescent's motivation for self performed periodontal infection control, by means of adequate oral hygiene. Study subjects will be allocated to test and control group where the test will be subjected to an individually tailored oral health education program, based on cognitive- behavioral theory and principles, and the control to standard educational intervention.
