Active clinical trials for "Periodontal Diseases"

To access the influence of triclosan dentifrice on the progression of periodontal disease in patients with coronary heart disease.

Lack of certain nutrients and foods may negatively affect oral health. Therefore, nutrition plays an important role in maintaining oral health. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the nutrient intakes, consumption of food groups and some fermented foods of individuals with periodontal disease and health. Ninety-three patients who applied to Periodontology Clinic were divided into three groups: periodontal health, gingivitis and periodontitis. In addition, plaque, gingival indices, bleeding on probing, periodontal pocket depth, and clinical attachment level were evaluated. To determine individuals' daily energy and nutrient intakes and the consumption amounts of food groups, food consumption records were kept by the nutritionist for three consecutive days, with one of them was weekend, using the 24-hour recall method. Data on individuals' frequency and amount of consumption of some fermented products were recorded, considering the foods available in our culture and the market.

Periodontal disease is associated with the components of Metabolic syndrome, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Therefore, strong relation with periodontal disease and metabolic syndrome is suggested. the overall goal of this study is to define the relation between periodontal disease and metabolic syndrome, including atherosclerosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare GCF interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-36γ (IL-36γ) levels in patients with healthy (H), gingivitis (G) and chronic periodontitis (CP) status.

This study aimed at correlating global behavior of Down's Syndrome patients to periodontal disease status.

Background: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between maternal preeclampsia and periodontal parameters and the correlation of these two disorders with maternal gingival crevicular fluid levels (GCF) of interleukin (IL)-35, interleukin-37 and interleukin-6. The investigators also investigated their relation to the severity of preeclampsia. Methods: 82 preeclamptic women were recruited to the study (29 healthy pregnant women, 30 mild preeclamptic patient, 23 severe preeclamptic patient ). The clinical periodontal parameters and GCF samples were collected in the first day of puerperium.

This study examines how periodontal disease affects the complications of diabetes and how treatment for periodontal disease affects biomarkers associated with the complications of diabetes.

This study aimed to evaluate the levels of interleukin 18 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and gingivitis.

Background. Vitamin D has both direct effects on bone metabolism and an antimicrobial effect on periodontopathogens. It also inhibits inflammatory mediators that contribute to periodontal destruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between serum 1.25-hydroxyvitamin D (1.25(OH)2D3) and 25(OH)D levels and periodontal inflammation. Methods. This study included 28 subjects with chronic gingivitis, 29 subjects with chronic periodontitis and 25 periodontally healthy subjects. Blood samples were collected from the participants to determine serum levels of 25(OH)D, 1.25(OH)2D3, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). Clinical parameters were recorded. Results were statistically analysed with a Shapiro-Wilk's test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Wilcoxon test and post-hoc multiple comparison test.

This study aimed to investigate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and salivary hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in different periodontal diseases. A total of 87 individuals, 20 patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis, 20 with chronic periodontitis, 26 with gingivitis and 21 periodontally healthy individuals were included. Whole-mouth and site-specific clinical periodontal parameters including probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, gingival index and plaque index were recorded. GCF and salivary HIF-1α, VEGF and TNF-α levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical analysis was performed by using non-parametric tests.
