Active clinical trials for "Periodontal Diseases"

The purpose of this research intervention is to assess the oral health status and periodontal health of patients with diabetes hospitalized on a general medicine service, and to assess the effect of providing dental prophylaxis and motivational interviewing to patient health-seeking behaviors and provider attitudes towards oral health, as well as on patient health outcomes.

Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and bioactive glass putty has been shown to be effective in promoting reduction in probing depth, gain in clinical attachment, and defect fill in intrabony periodontal defects. The individual role played by bioactive glass putty in combination with PRF is yet to be elucidated. AIM: To compare the clinical effectiveness of the combination of Plaltelet Rich Fibrin and Bioactive Glass Putty and Bioactive glass putty regenerative techniques for intrabony defects in humans. Material and methods: Ten pairs of intrabony defects were surgically treated with PRF and Bioactive glass putty (Test group) on one side or bioactive glass putty (Control group) on other side. The primary outcomes of the study included changes in probing depth, attachment level and bone fill of Osseous defect. The clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months. Radiographic assessment was done using standardized intra oral periapical radiographs. Comparisions were made within each group between baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months using the ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni test.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the use of systemic adjunctive antibiotics in the treatment of periimplantitis is needed.

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Periodontal Structure Repair device (PSR) compared to conventional periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing) for the treatment of periodontal pockets caused by periodontal disease.

Minimally invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST) is a new approach towards regeneration of deep periodontal defects. Important part of MINST procedure, besides usage of magnification loupes and piezo-electric devices seems to be the usage of special mini-curettes, originally mini-five and after mini-five of Hu-Friedy. So far only descriptive data about the clinical effects of such procedure are available and comparative studies that would include other treatment alternatives are lacking. Therefore, the aim of our study is, on split-mouth model, to compare the number of diseased sites (defined by probing depth ˃ 4 mm and bleeding on probing) after conventional non-surgical therapy and MINST with the usage of special mini-curettes. In addition, new 3D parameters obtained from 3D optical scanning will be developed for evaluation of volume changes of soft tissues.

This study is intended to measure serum trefoil factor 3 at baseline and 3 months after, following nonsurgical periodontal therapy in patients with Gingivitis and Chronic Periodontitis.

Study will follow a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with two groups in parallel,N of 40 patients in 6 weeks of follow up for the evaluation of two different posology models (daily consumption of probiotic gum, with or without previous professional oral cleaning). Probiotics have recently been used to combat oral diseases (plaque control, caries, halitosis, etc.), as a non-invasive natural therapy.

The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of gingival unit graft (GUG) and connective tissues graft (CTG) in Miller's class I and II gingival recession.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for home oral care in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1. Patients will undergo a professional oral hygiene procedure, followed by irrigation with ozonized water. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: Trial Group: patients will use Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for home oral care Control Group: patients will use Biorepair Plus Parodontgel toothpaste for home oral care. The variations of the following indices will be evaluated at the baseline, after 3 and 6 months: glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) , Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Plaque Index (PI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) and Bleeding on Probing (BoP).

This study is the first to investigate the effect of leucocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) combined with perforated membrane in order to treat infrabony defects and assess their combined effect in clinical attachment level gain and filling of base of the defect (BD). The main hypothesis was that if the L-PRF act as a chemoattracttant for a higher number of periosteal derived periodontal cells (PDPCs) and gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) encouraging their passage through the membrane perforations.
