Active clinical trials for "Periodontal Diseases"

Evaluate and compare the effectiveness in a clinical and microbial perspective one stage full-mouth disinfection technique in relation to scaling and root planing per quadrant associated with chlorhexidine or azithromycin.

The purpose of this study is (1) to determine whether a 12-month trial of patients from underserved communities with clinically significant gum disease and kidney disease randomly assigned to intensive gum disease treatment or delayed treatment is feasible and (2) to determine the variability of various tests of kidney function and inflammation in response to intensive gum disease treatment.

Aim: clinical effectiveness of 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinse in patients with gingivitis as compared to non-alcoholic chlorhexidine mouth wash. Methods & Material: Twenty-four subjects, without systemic diseases, with plaque-induced gingivitis will be selected for this study. The patients were treated with scaling and root planing at the baseline; Oral hygiene instructions were given that included brushing twice- daily, The volunteers brushed their teeth with the Bass brushing technique for at least 2 minutes, these patients were randomly ,equally divided into two groups, Group A: perform daily mouthwashes twice a day with the solution containing 10 ml of 0.05 cetyl pyridinium, (Vi-one, Rojin, Cosmetic-Lab, Kurdistan -Iran), Group B: use daily mouthwashes twice a day with 10ml of the chlorhexidine(Kin Laboratories, Spain), On day 0,7,15 and day 21 of each phase the Plaque Index (PI), Pocket depth(PD), Stain Index(SI) and Bleeding Index (BI) of each volunteer were measured.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ST266 will reduce pocket depth (PD) as an adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) in subjects with moderate to severe periodontal disease.

Peri-implantitis is a infectious disease that resides in the mucosa surrounding dental implants and also affects the supporting bone. Because the number of implants placed in everyday clinical practice is continuously increasing, is it reasonable to anticipate an increasing prevalence of peri-implantitis. This underlines the necessity for a predictable therapy. However, from the literature there is very little reliable evidence suggesting which could be the most effective interventions for treating periimplantitis. The primary objective of this controlled clinical study is to evaluate the clinical effect of decontamination of the implant surface during the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis using a 2% chlorhexidine solution or a 0.12% chlorhexidine solution. The secondary objective is to assess the microbiological effect of decontamination of the implant surface during the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis using a 2% chlorhexidine solution or a 0.12% chlorhexidine solution. The primary study parameter is the change from baseline in modified bleeding index. Secondary study parameters are: change in microbial composition of the biofilm covering the dental implant surface; microbiological composition of the peri-implant sulcus; change in probing pocket depth;change in suppuration on probing; change in radiographic marginal bone level on standardized intraoral radiographs; change in modified plaque index; implant failure, defined as implant mobility of previously clinically osseointegrated implants and removal of non-mobile implants because of progressive marginal bone loss or infection; complications and adverse events. It is hypothesized that decontamination of the implant surface with 2% chlorhexidine leads to a greater decrease in modified bleeding index than decontamination with a 0.12% chlorhexidine solution.

Obesity is an epidemic with increasing prevalence in the Asia Pacific region. The first Malaysian national estimate in 1996 of obesity was 5.8%. A systematic review reported a marked increase in obesity in 2003, 2004 and 2006 with 12.2%, 12.3% and 14.0% respectively. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease which results in gingival inflammation, irreversible attachment loss, alveolar bone destruction and eventually tooth loss. Worldwide, the prevalence of periodontitis in the adult population is about 10-15%. Periodontal disease, through inflammation and destruction of the periodontium produces clinical signs and symptoms, some of which may have a considerable impact on quality of life (QoL). A positive association between obesity and periodontal disease was repeatedly demonstrated worldwide. Obese individuals have elevated levels of circulating TNF- α and IL-6 compared to normal weight individuals. These cytokines decrease after weight loss. Adipokines produced by adipose tissue could be one of the mechanisms mediating the association between obesity and periodontal disease. This suggests that obesity may have the potential to modify the host's immunity and inflammatory system. This project will extend the existing information on the association between obesity and periodontal disease including QoL aspect to a Malaysia population. It will also improve knowledge on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underpin obesity-periodontal disease relationship. By extension, this study also will cast light on the effects of periodontal interventions for the subgroup population.

The aim of this clinical study is to asses the effect of ultrasonic periodontal debridement associated to locally delivered doxycycline (20%) by PLGA microspheres on chronic generalized periodontitis treatment.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the additional effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy regeneration treatment of mandibular furcation lesions when associated to bovine bone and porcine collagen membrane.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy plus doxycycline on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) patients who have periodontitis. Materials and methods: A total of 24 type 2 DM patients with periodontitis will be selected for the study, and randomly divided into two equal groups,who are at least 35 years of age and 16 teeth and type II diabetes are (at least the last 3 months of diagnosis of diabetes and its FBS More than 110 have), and also with periodontal disease are chronic moderate (at least in three areas Attachment level to a depth of 3-4 mm maxillary or mandibular been confirmed by clinical examination and radiographic signs are being); Takes place. The initial HbA1c Patients should be between 7-9 percent over the past three months has changed his medication also found the necessary explanations on how to do that consent, Plaque index (PI) by Loe & Silness, bleeding on probing (BOP) based on Carter and Barnes (if any bleeding number 1 and its absence is 0), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) were recorded. "Group 1": (12 patients) was treated with oral hygiene instruction, Scaling, and root planing, and doxycycline for 15 days; and "Group 2": (12 patients) has the same treatment but with placebo, After 12 weeks their periodontal condition and Fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, will be reevaluated.

The studies that correlate periodontal disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) suggest that individuals with poor glycemic control are at increased risk for developing infections. Despite being controlled for other important risk factors, diabetic patients are three times more likely to develop PD, and therefore, periodontitis has been proposed as the sixth complication of DM. Besides the effect of diabetes on DP, the reverse has also been studied over the past 15 years, through the idea that chronic and acute infections can directly affect the tissue resistance to insulin. Recent studies have provided evidence that controlling periodontal infection has an impact on improvement of glycemic control in diabetes mellitus patients. The vascularity of the inflamed periodontal tissue serves as a gateway to inflammatory mediators, pathogenic bacteria and their products into the bloodstream. Some researchers have suggested that periodontal treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) patients, results in beneficial effect on the level of glycemic control. However, there is no conclusive evidence to support this hypothesis. This research project aims to determinate the impact of periodontal therapy on metabolic control in DMT2 individuals, and determinate the possible association between periodontal disease and DMT2. For the HbA1c outcome this clinical trial had a sample size calculation estimated at 120 patients. For the inflammatory serum markers this study had a sample size estimated at 22 individuals. Blood samples will be collected for evaluation of Hba1c and inflammatory serum markers. This data will highlight the possible role of periodontal therapy on DMT2 metabolic control.
