Active clinical trials for "Chronic Periodontitis"

Treatment of periodontitis requires removal of dental biofilm both through professional mechanical plaque removal and domiciliar oral hygiene procedures. This study aims to compare biometric and psychological results after professional treatment of periodontitis carried out by piezoelectric or magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices.

The aim of this study is to assess the influence of the severity of chronic periodontitis on hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients.Secondary purposes of this protocol is to identify evolution of several biomarkers and correlate the clinical situation with oral microflora.

There have been many adjunctive treatments for the additional clinical benefits to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Topical hydrogen peroxide (HP) delivered in a custom fabricated tray has been shown to improve pocket depth (PD) and inflammation. The purpose of this study is to assess the adjunctive treatment outcome of HP gel in custom tray application in individuals with chronic periodontitis receiving SRP. The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to evaluate and compare the clinical effects of scaling and root planing (SRP) combined with local delivery of 1.7% hydrogen peroxide (HP) gel in customized trays to that of SRP alone.

This study will evaluate whether use of antidepressants can reduce gingival inflammation in patients with periodontal (gum) disease.

This study will determine whether the supplemental use of chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing is more effective than scaling and root planing alone in clinically reducing periodontal probing depth (PD), reducing bleeding on probing (BOP), and gaining clinical attachment level (CAL). It also will assess whether chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing will have an effect on biomarkers of inflammation.

Periodontitis is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by loss of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, and is a major cause of tooth loss. Results from clinical and epidemiological studies have suggested that periodontitis and tooth loss are more prevalent in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is evidence to suggest that periodontitis could indeed be a causal factor in the initiation and maintenance of the autoimmune inflammatory response that occurs in RA. If so, chronic periodontitis might represent an important modifiable risk factor for RA. However, to date longitudinal studies on the effect of periodontitis on disease progression in RA are lacking. The aim of the present study is to assess the periodontal status of patients enrolled in an established longitudinal cohort of RA patients. These data will then be analysed to evaluate whether or not periodontal inflammation is related to parameters of rheumatoid arthritis.

This study is the first evidence based work evaluated the systemic use of glucosamine as an adjunctive therapy to closed mechanical debridement in chronic periodontitis. The use of glucosamine sulphate was correlated with clinical outcomes and IL1-β level in the GCF of patients with moderate to advanced chronic periodontitis

The present study is designed as a single-centre, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic efficacy of two local drug delivery systems containing 1.2% RSV gel and 1.2% ATV gel in treatment of intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis as an adjunct to SRP.

Siloss® (Azurebio, Madrid, Spain) is a synthetic and inorganic bone graft material and is composed of a dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (monetite), hydroxyapatite (HA), and amorphous silica and trace amounts of zinc. It is manufactured by a proprietary process avoiding high temperatures. This results in a non-sintered material with a high specific surface area (65 m2/g) and high interconnected porosity (60%) that favour a high degree of interaction with its biological surrounding. It is fully resorbable, being replaced by natural bone, thereby avoiding the disadvantages of nonresorbable materials that interfere with normal processes of bone remodelling. Siloss® is resorbed both by a dual process of slow dissolution of its components and by active cellular remodelling. Controlled dissolution of Siloss® releases Ca, P, Si and Zn that stimulate regeneration processes while larger pores are formed allowing colonization of osteoclasts and osteoblasts involved in bone remodelling. It functions as a bioactive temporary scaffold maintaining the desired volume while it promotes bone regeneration and is being replaced by new vascularized bone. The alloplastic property of the graft material avoids the risk of infection and adverse inflammatory reactions. Also, resorption of Siloss® prevents possible adverse effects associated with long permanence of low resorbable materials. The aim of the present study is to clinically and radiographically evaluate the efficacy of bone graft material (Siloss ®) in the treatment of intrabony defects.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of YH23537 in Korea patients with chronic periodontitis, in order to investigate the recommended therapeutic dose.
