Active clinical trials for "Chronic Periodontitis"

Locally delivered Alendronate (ALN) have potent inhibitory effect on bone and increases new bone formation in chronic periodontitis patients Till date no study has reported the effect of local delivery of ALN in chronic periodontitis patients among smokers. Hence the aim of this study is to investigate the clinical and radiographic effects of locally delivered ALN as an adjunct to the non surgical treatment in smoker chronic periodontitis patients.

Hypothesis: metronidazole gel applied topically after periodontal debridement in smokers volunteers could improve clinical parameters when compared to metronidazole tablets + periodontal debridement. Method: 30 smokers with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned into 3 groups: periodontal debridement combined with 3 g placebo gel; periodontal debridement combined with daily topical application of 3 g metronidazole benzoate gel (15%); and periodontal debridement combined with a daily single dose of 750 mg metronidazole. Clinical parameters evaluated were visible plaque, gingival bleeding, probing pocket depth and relative attachment level.

The present clinical trial was designed to investigate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of systemic ayurvedic immunomodulator Septilin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis (CP)

ABSTARCT Background: Atorvastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase. Lately, it has shown to have anti-inflammatory and bone stimulatory effects. The aim of the current study is to explore the effectiveness of 1.2% atorvastatin (ATV) as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects. Method: A total of sixty subjects were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. 1. SRP plus placebo gel 2. SRP plus 1.2% ATV gel. Clinical parameters like probing depth (PD), relative vertical clinical attachment level (RVCAL) , relative horizontal clinical attachment level (RHCAL), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI) and site specific plaque index were recorded at baseline and then at 3, 6 and 9 months. The radiological assessment of bone defect fill was done at 6 and 9 months, using a computer-aided software.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of YH14642 in Korea patients with chronic periodontitis, in order to investigate the recommended therapeutic dose.

Background: Propolis is a natural resin made by bees from various plant sources. Propolis exerts antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties. The purpose of this study was to assess the adjunctive benefit of propolis supplementation in individuals with both chronic periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving scaling and root planing (SRP). Methods: A 6-month randomized blinded clinical trial comparing SRP with placebo (placebo+SRP group, n=26) or combined with a 6- month regimen of 400 mg oral propolis once daily (propolis+SRP group, n=26) was performed in patients with long-standing T2DM and chronic periodontitis. Treatment outcomes included hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum N€-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) and changes in periodontal parameters.

Statins are one of the lipid lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) and atorvastatin (ATV) have shown to have bone stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1.2% RSV and 1.2% ATV gel as a local drug delivery and redelivery system as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of degree II furcation defects.

The aim of this split mouth, single-center, controlled study is to compare the healing of intrabony defects treated with a combination of Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral (ABBM)/Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) or Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral alone. The hypothesis being tested in the study was that PRF would augment the regenerative effects of ABBM in human intrabony defects.

Objectives: The aim of the present clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of doxycyline 3% plus ketoprofen 2.5% as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis(early-modearte). Material and Methods: 20 systemically healthy, chronic periodontitis patients were included in the study.The Patients were selected on the basis of having chronic periodontitis with periodontal pocket depths of more than 4mm on at least two teeth in mandibular molar area; Periodontal parameters (plaque, bleeding on probing and pocket depth) were recorded at baseline and every 15 days for 3 months. Oral hygiene instructions were given that included brushing twice- daily, (Using the Bass brushing technique for at least 2 minutes ), Randomly divided two groups,Test group: was treated by scaling and root planing Followed by local delivery of doxycycline 3%+ ketoprofen 2.5%, While the control group: was treated by scaling and root planing along with ketoprofen 2.5%; and was administered to the both groups every 15 days for 3 months, repeated. Every 15 days once periodontal parameters were assessed, and at the end of 3 months, evaluated the clinical parameters changes.

The aims of the present study were to determine the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) chemerin and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and to analyse the relationship between chemerin and IL-6 in periodontal health and in chronic periodontitis (CP) with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the GCF chemerin levels.
