Active clinical trials for "Mouth Diseases"

The present study aims to assess and compare the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis effects of Moringa plant extract and Fluoride toothpastes among a group of Egyptian Children.

The prevalence and clinical relevance of viremia in patients with COVID-19 have not been well investigated. Seeking to understand the need for dentistry to perform bloody procedures in critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU, the quantification of the magnitude of viral replication may play a fundamental role in this scenario. For this, it is necessary to study the viremia kinetics of SARS-CoV-2, seeking to assess whether there is any characteristic pattern that may be associated with a worse clinical outcome of the patient with COVID-19 after undergoing bloody dental procedures, therefore, the objective of this research will be to investigate the occurrence of viral kinetics produced by dental procedures in patients with SARS-CoV-2 in Intensive Care Units, where, in addition to analyzing the oral health condition, the viral kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 will also be investigated by means of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) examination of blood samples from patients with COVID-19 undergoing bloody dental treatment. This research is expected to identify risks and consequences regarding the possibility of performing bloody dental treatment in patients with COVID-19 in serious condition, in addition to verifying the association of the impact of oral infection foci on this profile of patients.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an optimal-massive intervention (OMI) based on increasing shear viscosity of fluids, nutritional support with oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and triple adaptation of food (rheological and textural, caloric and protein and organoleptic) and oral hygiene improvement on the incidence of respiratory infections in older patients with OD. We have designed a randomized clinical trial, with two parallel arms and 6 months follow-up. The study population will be constituted by older patients of 70 years or more with OD hospitalized at Hospital de Mataró by an acute process that will be identified by using the volume-viscosity swallow clinical test. We will consecutively recruit 500 subjects during admission (Geriatrics, Internal medicine, etc.) at the Hospital de Mataró. Patients included will be randomly assigned to one of both interventional groups: a) study intervention: multifactorial intervention based on fluid viscosity adaptation (with a xanthan gum thickener -> Nutilis Clear®), nutritional support with a triple adaptation of food (texture, caloric and protein content, organoleptic) + pre-thickened ONS and evaluation and treatment of oral hygiene (tooth brushing + antiseptic mouthwashes + professional dental cleaning), or b) control intervention: standard clinical practice (fluid adaptation with Nutilis Powder and simple texture adaptation for solids). Main outcome measures: respiratory infection incidence during the 6-month period follow-up. Secondary outcomes: mortality at 6 months, general hospital readmissions and readmissions due to respiratory infections, nutritional status, hydration status, quality of life, functional status, oral hygiene and dysphagia severity and its relationship with other study variables.

The Phase I clinical trial is divided into two parts. The first part uses an open-label design, while the second part uses a randomized, double-blind, and controlled design. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of a bivalent (EV71/CA16, Enterovirus 71/Coxsackievirus A16) inactivated enterovirus vaccine (Vero cell) developed by Sinovac. The vaccine will be administered to healthy adults, children aged 6 to 12 years, and children aged 6 to 71 months. The Phase II clinical trial will also use a randomized, double-blind, and controlled design to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the same bivalent inactivated enterovirus vaccine (Vero cell) developed by Sinovac. This trial will involve healthy children aged 6 to 71 months.

This study is to evaluate the effects of different cleaning regimes i.e. chemical and mechanical on biofilm formation of an acrylic based removable orthodontic appliance and to find out if surface modification i.e. polished acrylic fitting surface, have an impact on cleaning the biofilm formation.

The aim of this 2- arm randomized-control study is to determine the effect of an oral hygiene self care intervention on the oral health status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of HIV-positive children (age: 8-16 years, n=170) presenting to five pediatric HIV clinics in Kano, Nigeria. The intervention will comprise oral health education and instructions on oral self-care. Data on oral health status and OHRQoL will be obtained at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months. Study findings will help inform policies to improve the oral health and OHRQoL of HIV-positive Nigerian children and guide the integration of oral health care services into HIV programs.

Overall objective of this work is to develop better ways of detecting, diagnosing and measuring oral diseases and structures using light and optical approaches. All different areas of the mouth will be imaged, including healthy, diseased, dysplastic and malignant, as well as oral biofilm, and the imaging data compared against conventional diagnostic approaches such clinical and histopathological and molecular evaluations to (1) gain a better understanding of processes involved in oral pathology and (2) develop a combined patient specific, non-invasive method for the detection, diagnosis and screening of oral pathology and biofilm. Thus our goal is to identify and evaluate microstructural, metabolic, vascular, protein, genomic and metabolomics biomarkers of oral pathology can be used to detect, predict and map oral pathology, especially neoplasia. We are recruiting patients with a wide range of oral conditions including plaque, dry mouth, toothache, root canal treatments, gum disease, oral sores, dysplasia and cancer, autoimmune conditions and others as well as healthy control subjects. We will use a range of non-invasive imaging modalities to obtain information on the ways in which the oral health status affects optical properties, and determine means of detecting and quantifying these factors.. Imaging modalities to be utilized include: Coherence and Doppler Tomography Laser Speckle Imaging Various forms of Spectroscopy Fluorescence

This study is an open clinical trial of the EV71 vaccine (Vero cell), Inactivated manufactured by Sinovac Research & Development Co.,Ltd.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of EV71 vaccine (Vero cell), Inactivated co-administration with other vaccines

The purpose of this study is to validate the ability of the STRATICYTE™ predictive model to predict the transformation of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a retrospective cohort of patients who received biopsies.

The aim of this study is to elucidate the mutual relationship between salivae characteristics and oral microbiome and to compare them with common oral disease; furthermore, by using specific bioinformatic tools to analyse the data, the potentials of Carnosine in preventing/treating oral diseases and its mechanism of action will be addressed by using quantitative proteomics.
