Active clinical trials for "Periodontal Diseases"

This study has compared quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus intensive treatment performed within 24 hours (FM-SRP) in terms of acute phase responses following treatment of periodontal disease. The primary aim was to compare the differences in CRP acute increase following FM-SRP versus Q-SRP therapy (24 hours after therapy). Secondary outcomes included changes in a broad array of inflammatory and endothelial injury markers between groups. Patients were randomly assigned to either FM-SRP and Q-SRP. Data indicated that non-surgical periodontal therapy performed within 24 hours induced greater perturbations of systemic inflammation compared to conventional treatment.

The aim of this study is to compare periodontal treatment with or without the adjunct of an enamel matrix derivative in terms of acute-phase responses in healthy patients.

Subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) are accepted as the gold standard in covering denuded root surfaces. Combining enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) with periodontoplasic surgical operations is another method in covering denuded root surface. The aim of this study is to compare a SCTG operation group and EMD applied group in addition to SCTG using complete root coverage rate and a newer method root coverage esthetic scoring system (RES).

Periodontal disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) have the same inflammatory etiopathogenesis and demonstrate a bidirectional relationship, for DM2 affects the severity of PD, and this may contribute to the overall inflammatory burden of the individual, influencing the natural course DM2. The aim of this study is to establish whether individuals with DM with or without chronic periodontitis have an increase in oxLDL and what is the influence of periodontal treatment in the reduction of oxLDL with consequent improvement in Diabetes Mellitus parameters.

The purpose of this study is to compare between plaque control efficacy of interdental brushes versus interdental floss , for the prevention of periodontal disease (gingivitis) and to determine the most convenient routine interdental plaque control method amongst the two

the aim of this study was to assess serum levels of high sensitivity c reactive protein in periodontitis patients with and without type 2 diabetes in a trial to analyze its prognostic effect following non-surgical periodontal therapy.

The goal of this project is to analyze the effectiveness of calculus and biofilm removal using area-specific hand scalers such as Mini Five® Gracey Curettes and Micro Mini Five® Gracey Curettes in periodontal pockets that are 5mm or greater. The data collected from this project will provide the evidence needed to support the use of modified hand scalers during non-surgical periodontal therapy for clinicians.

To evaluate the role of antioxidants - superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione and total anti oxidant levels in the serum of chronic periodontitis patients and chronic periodontitis with DM Type II patients, then to compare it with healthy controls, to assess their possible role as biomarkers for chronic periodontitis and the possible systemic effects of periodontitis.

Periodontal disease- Inflammatory, Multifactorial, and Threshold disease. Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent dental disease, an almost 100% prevalence in developing countries. Non-surgical periodontal includes scaling and root planing (SRP) an essential part of successful periodontal therapy. The spread of infection through aerosol and splatter has long been considered one of the main reason for the possible transmission of infectious agents and their ill effects on The Health of patients and Dental Health care Professionals. Aerosols are generated during Tooth preparation/Rotary instrument/ air abrasion/Air-water syringe, Ultrasonic scaler, and while doing Air polishing. Studies have also reported an association of these aerosols with Respiratory infections, Ophthalmic and Skin infections, Tuberculosis, and Hepatitis B. current research suggests that having patients use an antimicrobial rinse before treatment may decrease microbial aerosols. Chlorhexidine mouthwash is regarded as Gold Standard mouthwash but, have many local side effects including have many local side effects including extrinsic tooth and tongue brown staining, taste disturbance, enhanced supragingival calculus formation, less commonly, desquamation of oral mucosa, and even liver damage in rats. In the emerging era of pharmaceuticals, herbal medicines with their naturally occurring active ingredients offer a gentle and enduring way for the restoration of health by the least harmful method. Ocimum Sanctum (Tulsi) is known as THE QUEEN OF HERBS effective in reducing plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, and bleeding & has no side effects as compared to Chlorhexidine. Very few studies which can be counted on fingers have been conducted worldwide in this direction, globally showing their beneficial effects.

Objectives: The aim of this study is; detection of peptidyl arginine deiminase4 (PAD4), galectin-3 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples of periodontally healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients and the possible correlation between these values and clinical parameters of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: Samples of GCF were obtained from 60systemically healthy non-smoker individuals with periodontitis (P, n=20), gingivitis(G, n=20) and healthy periodontium (S, n=20). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine PAD4, galectin-3 and TNF-α levels in the biological samples.
