Active clinical trials for "Mucositis"

This two-arm, single-blinded, monocentric, controlled, randomised clinical study is designed to examine the effect of professional submucosal treatment by means of ultrasonics with plastic tip (test group), as compared to no professional submucosal instrumentation (control group), in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PIM). Both groups will have oral hygiene instruction/reinforcement (OHI) at baseline and repeated at 3 months. In the study, 50 participants will be enrolled (25 per group), with each patient contributing one implant with PIM. Peri-implant sulcus fluid (PISF) samples will be obtained at baseline, 3- and 6-months to analyse the change of relevant biomarkers over the course of PIM treatment. Intraoral scans will be performed at baseline, 3- and 6-months to analyse potential soft-tissue volumetric changes according to treatment.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the potential of the combination of a sodium hypochlorite-based gel and a hyaluronic acid-based gel as an adjuvant to Non-Surgical Mechanical Debridement (NSMD) in the treatment of mucositis, after 6 months of follow-up. After a meticulous selection, patients will be randomly assigned to Test (Sodium Hypochlorite-based gel + NSMD + Hyaluronic Acid-based gel ) or Control (NSMD) group. All clinical parameters will be recorded and the final evaluation will be performed.

A double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on endothelial dysfunction parameters in subjects with peri-implantitis/peri-implant mucositis and without any cardiovascular disease.

The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of non-invasive photodynamic therapy by Curcumin and photo-bio-modulation low level (LL) laser treatment in managing mucositis induced by chemotherapy in pediatric patients. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted involving 90 patients aged between 3 years and 15 years. The trial will be open, controlled, and blinded, and the patients will be divided into two groups.

The main aim of the present study is to investigate implant success rate after 5 years of function of immediate (Test group; within 7 days of implant placement) versus delayed (Control group; 8 weeks after implant placement) loading of two-pieces zirconia implant, placed in pristine bone without bone regeneration. Implant success rate will be defined according to Buser's criteria. Secondary endpoints: Marginal bone level (MBL) evaluation by means of standardized radiographs; Clinical evaluation of biological (e.g. Plaque Index, PI; Probing Pocket Depth, PPD, Bleeding on Probing, BOP; suppuration upon probing/palpation) and prosthetic/technical complications; Clinical evaluation of soft tissue width, keratinized tissue, marginal and interproximal soft tissue recession; Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) by questionnaire administration:

The aim of the study is to evaluate the potential of a spermidine-based topical gel as an adjuvant to non-surgical treatment of peri-implant mucositis. After a meticulous selection, patients will be randomly assigned to Test (spermidine gel + non-surgical debridement) or Control group (non-surgical debridement).

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that non-surgical periodontal therapy on peri-implant mucositis resolution results in a greater clinical improvement in patients with congruous versus non-congruous single dental implant restoration.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the oral and maxillofacial region. Currently, surgery is the main method of comprehensive treatment. TPF (paclitaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil) chemotherapy regimen is one of the important methods for the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy before and after surgery can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of oral cancer patients. Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect during chemotherapy, which seriously affects the quality of life of chemotherapy patients and may lead to the termination of chemotherapy. Prevention and treatment of oral mucositis is still an urgent clinical problem. Investigators' previous studies have found that vitamin D can significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, and vitamin D can protect normal oral mucosal tissue by inhibiting pyroptosis caused by platinum-based chemotherapy drugs. Based on the previous basic research, this project intends to conduct a single-center, prospective, clinical randomized controlled study on the clinical efficacy of vitamin D in reducing oral mucosal inflammation in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma undergoing TPF chemotherapy, in order to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the clinical use of vitamin D in reducing oral mucosal inflammation in patients with oral cancer chemotherapy. The results of this study are expected to serve as guidelines to guide clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bacterial decolonization of the nares prior to treatment with radiotherapy (RT) for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, can prevent high-grade radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) and improve quality of life. This study is being conducted because a randomized clinical trials form Yana Kost et al. have found bacterial decolonization in the nose prior to initiation of RT was effective for prevention of acute radiation dermatitis. Patients in the treatment arm will receive pretreatment with mupirocin ointment to the nares while patients in the control arm will receive standard of care treatment. Bacterial cultures will be taken from the nares and mouth, and participants will also complete a quality of life questionnaire before and after RT.

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of topical olive oil application both clinically and biochemically as a suitable affordable treatment modality for prevention and management of radiation oral mucositis and its associated pain for head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.
