Periodontitis Clinical Trials

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the study drug given orally twice daily for 28 days. The study will also assess the effects of study drug on oral and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. The study evaluations include 2 detailed dental examinations and 2 lumbar ...

Current data are showing a potential link between inflammatory biomarkers in chronic periodontitis and COPD. However the impact of periodontal treatment on systemic inflammation as measured by biomarkers and time to occurrence of acute exacerbations (AECOPD) remains an important but unresolved issue. This pilot study will provide information on effects ...

The presence of soft tissue over the implants plays an important role both in bone preservation and in enhancing aesthetic conditions. The importance of good quality and amount of soft tissues was indicated by colleagues in 1994: the soft tissue enhancement technique involved inserting, at the site of the implant, ...

The extent of marginal bone remodeling around the neck of dental implants has been used for many years as a criterion for defining its long-term success. In fact, the etiology of this Marginal Bone Loss has not yet been well understood, although many theories have been proposed to explain it. ...

Before patricipating patients go to preop, the investigators have them take a mouth rinsing quick-test, periosafe(c), that tells specifically about periodontitis. Participants go to surgery (upper gi) and have a normal operation following our clinics standards and normal follow up. After the investigators analyze the patient data concerning possible complications ...

Dental records of patients attending routine periodontal maintenance therapy visits at the UNMC College of Dentistry clinics are reviewed as part of the direct supervision by faculty, including investigators involved int his study. Assessment includes review of medical and dental histories and previous oral hygiene and periodontal charting. Subjects who ...

This study will give the opportunity to draw scientifically based conclusions on the recommendations of the use of adjunctive systemic antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis. This study will also be able to determine the ecological impact on the oropharyngeal and intestinal microflora between different antibiotic treatments. The lack of ...

The buccal cavity is colonized by numerous microorganisms whose the number and composition could be modified with medical background (diseases and drugs) and the level of oral hygiene of the patients. Among all microorganisms identified in the periodontium, few of them are implicated in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal pathologies. To ...

Thirty patients suffering from advanced chronic periodontitis were included in this randomized controlled clinical trial. Each subject contributed matched two- or three-walled intrabony defects. Patients were equally assigned into the experimental group; Nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite silica gel or the negative control group;open flap debridement. Clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at ...

Periodontal diseases (PD) are highly prevalent chronic diseases, and may be associated with loss of gum and bone tissue surrounding the tooth. Among adults (with 2 or more teeth remaining) in England, 54% experienced gum bleeding and 45% had periodontal (gum) disease of which 9% was severe. Bacterial in origin, ...
