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.

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

The quantification of the proteomes : L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin was analysed in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus.The demographic and the periodontal parameters were assessed and the correlated with the quantification of the proteins. The mRNA expression was analyzed with RT-PCR and the quantification of protein was done using ELISA.

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.

The aim of the study was to determine retrospectively the presence of carotid artery calcification (CAC) detected on digital panoramic radiographs (DPRs) and correlate the finding of such calcifications with gender, smoking status, medical history and periodontal status.The authors hypothesized that more CACs could observed in DPRs of individuals with periodontitis and CACs may correlate with the various risk factors included age, gender, smoking status, medical history.DPRs, periodontal status, medical (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease) and smoking stories of 1101 patients (576 males, 525 females) were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups as CAC detected in dental DPRs [CAC(+)] and those who were not [CAC (-)]. Periodontal status categorized as gingivitis, periodontitis and gingivitis with reduced periodontium.
