Active clinical trials for "Periodontitis"

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 present study is designed to evaluate the combined efficacy of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and 1% Alendronate (ALN) with open flap debridement (OFD) in treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients.

assess the clinical and laboratory effects of the local and sub gingival application of a 0.8% hyaluronic acid gel (GENGIGEL®) as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in chronic moderate to severe periodontitis patients as indicated by expression of Human Beta Definsin-2 (HBD2) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF).

This study began enrollment in 2003 with final report completed in October of 2015. This submission is being provided to acquire an NCT number. This study was successfully executed according to protocol with full enrollment and completion of 89.7% of subjects. Subjects were enrolled into a two arm study 1) Combined therapy (scaling and root planing plus Crest products) vs. 2) delayed treatment. Subjects were followed for 6 months and a wide and extensive battery of biological samples were collected to determine the effects of treatment on the local and systemic inflammatory response.

In this clinical trial, the researchers will investigate the effect of single-file reciprocating file system (Reciproc) versus multi-file rotational file systems (ProTaper Next) on the postoperative pain in adult patients who have necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis. The participants will be assigned by chance to separate groups that compare 2 different treatments, reciprocating single-file system (Reciproc) and rotational multi-file system (ProTaper Next).

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.

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory process accompanied by destruction of Periodontium, and sometimes loss of teeth. Periodontal disease is highly prevalent especially in developing and underdeveloped countries affecting more than 80% population. Epidemiological studies have shown that about 10% of the adult population suffer from severe periodontitis (Brown et al. 1990, Gjermo 1998). Studies indicate that the periodontal lesion is not strictly a localized process but may lead to systemic alterations in immune system. Various studies confirm the microbial etiology of periodontal disease.

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 purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of photoablative and photodynamic diode laser in adjunct to scaling-root planing (PAPD+SRP) and SRP alone for the treatment of periodontitis.

The present study is designed as a single-centre, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of two local drug delivery systems containing 1% ALN gel and 1.2% ATV gel in treatment of intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis as an adjunct to SRP.
