Active clinical trials for "Periodontitis"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether maternal periodontal therapy (tooth cleaning) decreases the rate of preterm deliveries at <37 weeks gestation and to determine the effects of maternal periodontal therapy on the birth weight of infants born less than 37 weeks gestation.

This study is to determine whether scaling and root planning (SRP) followed by photodynamic disinfection results in improved outcomes that persist over time in adults with chronic periodontitis when compared with subjects with SRP alone.

The objective of this study is to determine whether the use of a systemic antimicrobial (metronidazole) as an adjunct to periodontal surgery provides additional clinical and microbiological beneficial effects compared to periodontal surgery alone plus a placebo, in patients with non treated periodontitis (stage III and IV) positive to Porphyromonas gingivalis.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled double-blind study is to evaluate the effectiveness of biodentine compared with MTA used as pulp space barrier on discoloration of teeth after regenerative based non-obturation root canal treatment in mature single canal with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis.

Aqueous flare is increased in different kind of inflammations of eye. This is caused by disruption of blood-aqueous-barrier. The investigators assume that low grade systemic inflammation, such as periodontitis, increase aqueous flare and possibly activates exudative age-related macular degeneration.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of HA as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) on clinical parameters, periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) and adenosine deaminase (ADA), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with periodontitis.

Study aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic effectiveness of 1.2% Rosuvastatin gel in the treatment of Infrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients.

Currently, with the increase of bacterial resistance to antibiotics associated with its side effects, it is necessary to find other adjuncts to combat the disease that are an alternative to the use of antibiotics. The use of probiotics has been proposed in the literature as an adjunct therapy for the treatment of periodontal diseases, however, few controlled and randomized clinical studies have been performed. The objective of this double-blind randomized controlled trial will be to evaluate the response of clinical and microbiological periodontal parameters to the comparison of two different adjuvant therapies (antibiotic and probiotic) for the treatment of stages II and III grade B periodontitis.

The aim of the study was to compare the clinical effects of systemic use of doxycycline to amoxicillin plus metronidazole as adjunctive treatment in nonsurgical debridement of aggressive periodontitis (AgP). Twenty four patients with aggressive periodontitis were enrolled in this clinical study. They all received oral hygiene instruction and full-mouth nonsurgical debridement using manual instruments. The test group received as adjunctive antibiotic treatment 200 mg of doxycycline the first day followed by 100 mg per day during 14 days. The control group received 500 of amoxicillin and 250 of metronidazole, three times a day for 7 days.

The objective of this study is to 1) identification of the impact of IL-34 on the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and determine whether any relationship among the existing levels of Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) Interleukin 34( IL-34 )and GCF Receptor activator of nuclear factor -kB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANKL/OPG ratio, as a mediator of bone resorption 2) analysis of the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on GCF IL-34 levels in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and 3) to correlate between biochemical markers and clinical recordings
