Active clinical trials for "Tooth, Impacted"

The study evaluates and validates a new classification proposed by Juodzbalys and Daugela in 2013 predicting the complexity of impacted mandibular third molars surgical extraction, comparing it with other two, scientifically approved (Pell and Gregory, Winter) classifications.

The main limitation in bone regeneration is the lack of vascularization of the newly shaped tissue. The main objective of this project is to check if the simultaneous differentiation of dental mesenchymal stem cells toward osteoblastic and endothelial lineage permits to obtain a new pre-vascularized tissue engineered bone construct. We will then evaluate the boosting effect of the conditionned medium on cell differentiation and production of a prevascularized bone construct.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the nature of the change in oral and gut bacterial resistance profiles after antibiotic therapy for a surgical procedure in two groups. The intervention group will receive a course of amoxicillin and analgesics after surgical extraction and have bacterial samples taken from saliva, tongue coatings and stool samples at four appointments over a period of six months. This will be compared to the control group which receive only analgesics after the surgical extraction. An examination of the development and sustainability of antibiotic resistance in the oral and gut microbiome of healthy cohorts will be followed up for 6 months, after surgical extraction of impacted teeth. Change in proportion of antibiotic resistant bacterial components will be studied using Metagenomic DNA sequencing and quantification of resistant genes .

This is a prospective, longitudinal, observational, cohort study investigating young adults undergoing surgical extraction of a wisdom tooth with and without antibiotics post-operatively. The prescription of antibiotics will be based on clinical judgment based on case complexity, trauma and length of procedure. No randomization will be performed. Saliva will be collected at seven observational time points ( Baseline, one week ,two weeks, three weeks , one month,three months and six months.) and Supragingival plaque samples will be collected at four observational time points ( Baseline , one week , one month, and 3 months) .A control group of 15 subjects who do not undergo dental extractions or antibiotic treatment will be recruited after obtaining informed consent and will be followed up for the same seven time points..Routine standard care will be observed. No new medications are triedThe samples will be analysed for identification of bacterial genes using 16 S r RNA gene sequecing and QPCR for change in the antibiotic resistance genes overtime. Kindly note that in the current study the participants are patients who are already scheduled to undergo tooth extractions with or without antibiotic treatment based on clinical judgement by the clinician performing the extraction. ( These patients are on the waiting list for third molar extractions in the dental hospital concerned.) The participants will receive the intervention( Third molar extraction with /without antibiotics) in the same manner and intensity even if they are not enrolled for the study.

A prospective study examining bilateral 3rd molar extraction, by a split mouth protocol the investigators augment unilaterally and compare periodontal parameters in between.

The purpose of this registry is to record information and evaluate the impact of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Guided Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) on the management of pancreatico-biliary disorders. The registry will evaluate efficacy, safety and technical success of the Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)Guided Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. The safety and efficacy of various EUS-Guided ERCP procedures have been assessed in a series of studies. This multi-center registry has been initiated: To document the impact of EUS-Guided ERCP procedures on the management of pancreatico-biliary disorders including malignancies. To assess the clinical and technical success rates of EUS-Guided ERCPs for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Design is retrospective and prospective registry study. Procedures that will be captured include: EUS-Coils placement EUS Glue injection EUS-Fiducial placement EUS-Neurolysis EUS-Stent placement EUS-alcohol injection EUS-fluid collection, abscess or cavity drainage EUS guided ductal drainage EUS-guided Ablation EUS-guided anastomosis 11. EUS Guided ERCP for gallbladder, pancreatic duct or biliary duct drainage
