Active clinical trials for "Periodontitis"

Is the non-surgical periodontal therapy can improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis?

This study was designed to investigate the use of minimally invasive Piezo knife to harvest vascularized interceptal bone pedicle in treating intrabony defects.

To determine microbiology assessment of infected root canal in young permanent teeth, as well as antimicrobial efficiency of different adjuvant treatment modalities including photodynamic therapy (PDT), high-power diode laser, and essential oils following mechanic-chemical treatment in the treatment of periapical periodontitis in these teeth.

The study was aimed to investigating changes in periodontal parameters and superoxide dismutase activity after root surface debridement with and without Omega 3 fatty acids (ω-3 FAs) supplementation in postmenopausal women. Adjunctive Omega 3 fatty acids supplements reduce periodontal inflammation and improve the status of systemic enzymatic antioxidants in postmenopausal women.

BACKGROUND: Periodontal disease is an infection that results in progressive loss of dental support, which may lead to tooth loss.. The goal of the present study was to evaluate if recombinant human Fibroblast Growth Factor type 2 (rhFGF-2) applied in periodontal intrabony defects in a hyaluronic acid (HA) carrier would enhance the clinical paramenters of regeneration of the periodontal attachment apparatus and the long-term maintenance of the results obtained. METHODS: Thirty adult patients were evaluated. Initial treatment consisted in plaque control measures executed previously to the experimental phase. Two intra-bony defects in each patient were ramdomly allocated for each of the treatment methods employed. Control group (n=30) were treated by open debridement with the papilla preservation flaps, while the text group (n=30) also received a topical application of rhFGF-2/HA in the intrabony defect. The parameters evaluated were, probing depth (PD), gingival recession (REC), probing attachment level (PAL) and probing bone level (PBL). Clinical measurements obtained at baseline and 1, 5 and 10 years after the surgical procedure were compared.

Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory disease with the etiology of bacterial plaque and is associated with a number of putative bacterial species. The periodontal destruction is substantially mediated by the host, driven by the bacterial challenge. The presence of pathogenic bacteria with the absence of so-called "beneficial bacteria" and the susceptibility of the host are the main aetiological factors of periodontal diseases.

To collect GCF (gingival crevicular fluid) samples from diseased patients suffering only from gingivitis and/or periodontitis.

This study is for people at least 21 years old who have signs of problems, like swollen gums and shrinking bones, by dental implants.

in this clinical trial, patients with periodontal defects will be treated with advanced platelet-rich fibrin in conjunction with open debridement

48 adult patients participated in a single-centre randomized clinical trial with split- mouth design. They had presented at re-evaluation after initial non-surgical periodontal therapy (steps 1 and 2 of periodontal therapy) for generalized periodontitis with at least 2 teeth with residual probing pocket depths (PPD) ≥5 and ≤8 mm, with bleeding on probing (BOP). Two teeth with similar PPD were randomized to receive re-instrumentation either with (test) or without (control) adjunctive flapless administration of EMD. Differences in the changes of PPD and BOP from baseline to 6 and 12 months will be analysed, and the frequencies of pocket closure (PPD ≤4 mm and no BOP) will be compared
