Active clinical trials for "Periodontitis"

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the antibacterial effects of 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) during retreatment of teeth with apical periodontitis (AP).

Background: Aloe vera is considered to be the most promising and high-ranking agent as an all-purpose herbal plant amongst herbal agents used in dentistry. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of locally delivered aloe vera gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

The present study is designed as a single-centre, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of autologous PRF, 1% alendronate (ALN) and 1.2% atorvastatin (ATV) gel placement with open flap debriedement in treatment of intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis.

The aim of this prospective study is to verify the efficacy of smoking cessation on non-surgical periodontal therapy in adult subjects with chronic periodontitis. Smokers that were willing to quit received periodontal treatment and concurrent smoking cessation therapy. Periodontal maintenance was performed every 3 months. A calibrated examiner, blinded to smoking status, assessed periodontal status, gathered demographic and behavioural information with a structured questionnaire and measured air carbon monoxide concentration measurements.

This study is intended to measure hepatocyte growth factor levels in smokers and non smokers with periodontitis before and after non surgical periodontal therapy.

Platelet rich fibrin is a second generation platelet concentration which contains various growth factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and biochemical efficacy of PRF in subjects of chronic periodontitis in the operation of conventional periodontal flap.

The main aim and objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Non- surgical periodontal therapy on the subgingival microbiota and biochemical parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease and chronic periodontitis.

Aim: dis double-blind split-mouth clinical trial study was performed to evaluate teh clinical and radiographic effect of local delivery of lovastatin gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in teh treatment of chronic periodontitis. Method and Materials: 15 patients with two mandibular molar teeth with probing depth (PD)≥3 mm, clinical attachment level (CAL)≥3 mm and bone loss more than 3 mm according to parallel periapical x-ray and distance from CEJ to alveolar crest, were selected.Totally 24 mandibular molars were selected for teh study. Clinical periodontal parameters included PD, CAL, bleeding index(BI), plaque index(PI) were recorded for teh selected teeth at baseline and at 1,3 and 6 months. Radiographic assessments were performed at baseline and after 6 months. At one side teh pockets around randomly selected molar were injected with a blunt syringe filled with lovastatin gel 1.2%( case group=B), and on teh other side, teh pockets were filled with a placebo gel by a blunt syringe ( control group=A).Two-way repeated measure ANOVA test and T-test were used for statistic analysis Spss 23.( P<0.05) was considered significant.

This study evaluated the effect of removal of smear layer on the success of primary root canal treatment.Patients requiring primary root canal treatment in mature mandibular first and second molars were allocated to either smear layer positive group and smear layer negative group.
