Active clinical trials for "Gingivitis"

The aim of this 18 study analysis was to compare the effect of bioavailable stannous fluoride (SnF2) dentifrices when used up to 3 months on gingivitis relative to a positive or negative control dentifrice.

The aim of this analysis was to pool data from 6 GSK studies with similar clinical design to investigate the overall efficacy of a test dentifrice containing 67% w/w sodium bicarbonate in the treatment of gingivitis and plaque accumulation after 6, 12 and 24 weeks of twice-daily brushing at home relative to a negative control dentifrice. The pooled analysis was planned and conducted after completion of all six independent studies.

Since over 50% of the US population have gingivitis, mouthrinses serve as a valuable adjunct to brushing and flossing. The primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of the oral rinse in reducing plaque and gingivitis and improve a patient's breath

Periodontal diseases are chronic diseases that occur as a result of a violation of the balance between microbial dental plaque and the host response. Gingivitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the gingiva that occurs in one or more areas without loss of attachments.1 in periodontitis, an inflammatory event that begins in the gingiva along with gingivitis spreads to the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and soft tissues that support the tooth, causing the destruction of these structures.2 Cytokines are low molecular weight proteins that participate in the initial and active stages of inflammation and immunity. In periodontal disease pathogenesis, cytokine response has been reported to play a very critical role in determining disease progression.3 IL-1beta and IL-6 are key cytokines in chronic inflammatory diseases and have the potential to initiate bone loss and tissue destruction seen in periodontal disease.4the purpose of this study; it is to determine the degree of inflammation and periodontal destruction by determining the levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid of periodontal healthy and diseased individuals.

The aim of this study is to examine effects of dental treatments, surgical (extractions) and non-surgical procedures (non-surgical periodontal therapy), on serum levels for PCR, WBCs and PCT in patients needing a dental remediation before undergoing cardiac surgery.

The purpose of this observational, non-controlled, single site trial with a retrospective design is to verify, in a large paediatric population affected by gingivitis, the tolerability and safety of 0.1% HA-based film-forming devices (Gengigel Prof® Fluid, Ricerfarma) administered three to five times a day over a 4-week period as an adjunct to domiciliary care and oral hygiene instructions

Chlorhexidine is the gold standard of dental plaque prevention, but which concentration is the most effective is not known. The aim of the present study was to compare the plaque and gingivitis inhibiting effect of commercial products containing 0.2%, 0.12% and 0.06% chlorhexidine in a modified experimental gingivitis model. In three groups of healthy volunteers, experimental gingivitis was induced and monitored over 21days, simultaneously treated with the commercial solutions containing 0.2%, 0.12% and 0.06% chlorhexidine. 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 days 7, 14, and 21. Plaque and gingivitis scores were obtained at baseline and day 21. The commercial mouthwash containing 0.2% chlorhexidine resulted in statistically significantly lower plaque scores than the 0.12 and 0.06% mouthwashes after 21 days use, whereas no statistically significant difference was found between the effect of the two latter mouthrinses. A commercial available mouthwash containing 0.2% chlorhexidine proved statistically significant better effect in preventing dental plaque than 0.12% and 0.06% solutions.

In a previous study the efficacy of Lb CD2 on interim covariates related to caries development was tested. So, it was decided to plan a new study on schoolchildren from the same area. The aim of the present research protocol was to evaluate the anticariogenic effect of probiotics daily used, on the caries development in children. The null hypothesis was that the probiotic Lb CD2 would not modify the caries risk of the children. Moreover, the study will be carried out to investigate the plaque acidogenicity in situ following the regular consumption of a probiotic product compared to a control group. Objective: To determine the effect of a regularly consumed probiotic on the development of new caries lesions. Study design: Double blind, placebo-controlled, longitudinal study, monocentric, national, in situ

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of obesity on periodontally healthy or diseased tissues.Normal weight and obese subjects were analyzed in 6 groups. Clinical periodontal status was determined through plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, pocket probing depth, clinical attacment level and radiographs. Oxidative stress is known to contribute to various diseases by affecting cellular functions through the oxidation of proteins, lipids and DNA. Oxidative stress can be assessed by measuring the products of oxidative damage found in proteins, lipids and DNA or reductions in total antioxidant capacity Malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl and total antioxidant capacity levels are biomarkers of oxidative stress in gingival crevicular fluid.

The primary aim of the current study was to determine the association between halitosis detection (presence or absence) and periodontal status in non-smoking subjects, and also assess whether halitosis recordings were related to periodontal clinical parameters, tongue coating and quantities of two putative periodontal pathogens on the posterior region of the tongue determined by real-time PCR. Secondary, halitosis recordings were compared among subjects with chronic periodontitis, chronic generalized gingivitis and periodontal health.
