Active clinical trials for "Periodontitis"

The objective of the present study is To study the incidence and magnitude of bacteremia after periodontal flap surgery . To compare and evaluate the effect of diode laser on frequency of bacteremia associated with periodontal flap surgery . To study the incidence of bacteremia after laser therapy

The aim of the study is to develop an in vitro model of growth of oral biofilms, and validate xCELLigence system for the selection of an effective antibiotic treatment for each patient.

Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease caused by mainly bacterial, genetic, immunologically, and environmental factors. Chronic periodontitis, one of the widely prevalent forms of periodontal disease, is characterized by loss of attachment apparatus of the tooth; it can lead to tooth loss. Many non surgical and surgical approaches have been adapted time and again to prevent, intercept, and to treat the various forms of chronic periodontitis. But, these treatment modalities are not approachable by all individuals, because of the various factors such as: low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, high cost of the treatment, no availability of easy and uncomplicated treatment nearby etc. Considering these factors, we are still in need of preventive, practical, and affordable treatment options specially for the population of underdeveloped and developing countries.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, placebo controlled study is to evaluate the effect of clindamycin on post-operative pain and swelling in adult patient with symptomatic apical periodontitis.

There are not published studies evaluating the incidence, nature, magnitude and/or duration of bacteremia after periodontal treatment. The pre-surgical antibiotics have been studied particullary over Gram positive bacterial but not over gram negative bacterial and their secondary effects over the systemic pro-inflamation. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of intensive periodontal therapy and pre-medication with oral amoxicilline on inflammatory bio-markers and the incidence, duration and magnitude of bacteremia in patients with chronic periodontitis.

In view of the wide variety of mechanized endodontic instrumentation systems, the ideal would be that the choose of this system based on the anatomical characteristics of the canal and the biological precepts. In teeth with lesions, contaminated dentin should be removed. However, in many systems, the manufacturer's approach disregards the fact that in wider root canal, instruments used in the apical third small diameter (less than 0.40 mm) may not touch the walls at the final apical. Therefore, the establishment of the initial apical file (LAI), the first instrument that measures the resistance of the walls in working length, could be a criterion in the choice of which system to use, and how many files work within the root canals after LAI determination. However, there is a lack of studies that demonstrate that LAI determination affects the degree of cleaning achieved, as well as the impact that LAI-based instrumentation may have on microcracks formation, canal transportation, postoperative pain and quality of obturation.In this way, the investigators propose a study in vivo performed, in patients from 8 to 18 years of age, therefore in large root canals. The protocol recommended by the manufacturer will be compared by means of a prospective randomized clinical trial, with the addition of the XP Endo finisher and with the protocol based on the initial apical file evaluating postoperative pain, exacerbation between the sessions, the quality of the obturation and periapical radiolucency repair. Considering that currently performing endodontic treatments using mechanized instruments is taught in undergraduate courses throughout the country, studies of this nature help the execution of a endodontics more critical and effective.

The Purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between the inflammatory periodontal status and the medical treatment status in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS) women with systemic inflammation and to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy in the form of scaling and root planing along with medical treatment on the level of serological marker of inflammation (High sensitivity-C Reactive Protein) and insulin resistance in PCOS women with chronic periodontitis.

Characterization of green propolis and development of mouthwash containing propolis to control plaque and gingivitis. A Phase I.

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of the adjunctive use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with an light-emitting diode (LED) light source in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

This study was designed as a randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of 1% MF gel as local drug delivery in adjunct to SRP for the treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis in comparison with placebo gel.
