Active clinical trials for "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.

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of the usage of a probiobitc lozenge in patients with residual bleeding pockets of ≥ 5mm 3 months following scaling and rootplaning. Simultaneously the additional benefit of subgingival application of probiotics via oil drops will be investigated.

A study on the effect of locally delivered aloe vera gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients with controlled type II diabetes mellitus.The evaluation of Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Probing Pocket Depth, Relative Attachment Level at baseline, 6 weeks and 3 months and Glycosylated heamoglobin at baseline and 3 months.

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.

This study was carried out in the Department of Periodontology and source of patient was be from the outpatient section of Tatyasaheb Kore Dental College & Research Centre, New Pargaon. Study included the 31 patients with chronic periodontitis, with age group between 35-60 years, two interdental suprabony pockets with 5-8mm pocket depth in two different quadrants were chosen as the test site (TS) and control sites (CS). In control sites, only SRP was performed followed by placement of placebo distilled water. In test sites, SRP was followed by placement of Lyophilized saccharomyces boulardii in the pocket. S. boulardii will be delivered subgingivally by by mixing 1gm of sachet containing 250mg of lyophilized yeast with 0.5ml of distilled water this prepared paste was injected in the perio pocket with luer lock syringe and cannula .The subgingival plaque samples were collected at baseline, 4th day, 4 week for detection of p. gingivalis for microbiological analysis and clinical parameters wiere recorded at baseline and at 1 month.

Smoking is the major preventable risk factor in the initiation and progression of periodontal diseases. Periodontitis risk was found to be 3.9 times higher among smokers aged between 19-30 years and 2.8 times higher among smokers aged 31-40 years compared to non-smokers. Aggressive periodontitis (AgP), is characterized by a rapid attachment loss usually incompatible with the amount of plaque and dental calculus. It is often not possible to predict the prognosis of treatment with various treatment options in cases of aggressive periodontitis. It was hypothesized that non-smoker patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) will respond better to conventional mechanical non-surgical periodontal therapy compared to the smokers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of smoking on the outcomes of non-surgical periodontal treatment in terms of the clinical, biochemical and microbiological parameters.

Generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) is a distinct type of periodontal disease characterized by rapid loss of attachment and alveolar bone occuring in young individuals. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was introduced in periodontology as an adjunctive approach to non-surgical periodontal treatment (NPT) in periodontitis patients. In this trial, it was aimed that to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of adjunctive PDT to NPT in patients with GAgP. In this prospective controlled clinical study, 24 systemically healthy, non-smoking subjects with GAgP were enrolled. Subjects were randomly assigned to a control group (n=12) treated with NPT only or to a test group (n=12) treated with NPT and PDT. Plaque index, sulcus bleeding index (SBI), pocket depth (PD), relative attachment level, gingival recession, mobility were recorded at baseline and on day 63. Microbiological samples were obtained fom the sites with PD ≥5 mm at the same time points and evaluated for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola using micro-IDent test.

This study will compare the effect of three different sealers on healing of teeth with apical periodontitis after primary root canal treatment.

This study aims to evaluate an endodontic treatment protocol using adjunctive steps for disinfection of teeth with primary endodontic infections.

It aims to demonstrate the superiority of a 6-week supplementation with Lactibiane Buccodental compared to placebo, as adjunctive therapy in chronic periodontitis in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis
