This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two different eugenol-free periodontal dressing materials-Ora-Aid (a hydrophilic polymer) and Coe-Pak (a zinc oxide-based paste)-following non-surgical periodontal treatment (scaling and root planing, SRP) in patients with Stage 3, Grade A periodontitis. The study utilizes a split-mouth design to analyze clinical periodontal parameters, patient comfort, and microbiological changes over a 3-month period.
NCT05533528
The objective of this study will be to evaluate a new protocol for the surgical treatment of periodontal disease with two novelties: to make a single incision in the midline of the interproximal area to respect the vascular supply and preserve the granulation tissue with regenerative potential. The investigators will carry out a controlled and randomized clinical trial with a control group (n=25; modified Kirkland flap) and a test group (n=25; experimental surgical protocol: incision in the mid-interproximal area of the papilla and preservation of the granulation tissue). Clinical parameters will be taken at the time of surgery and 12 months follow-up: bleeding on probing (BoP), clinical attachment level (CAL), residual probing depth (rPD),Probing pocket depth reduction (PPDr), recession (REC), interproximal gingival recession (iGR), width of keratinized gingiva (KT), gain of supra-alveolar clinical attachment (SUPRA-AG), early wound healing index (EHI).

NCT06490679
Periodontitis is a chronic condition associated with the inflammatory destruction of the periodontal tissues ultimately leading to tooth loss. Clinically, it is identified by key features such as clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding upon probing (BOP), and an increase in probing pocket depth (PPD), and/or gingival recession. Periodontitis is mediated by polymicrobial dysbiosis with keystone pathogens affecting the virulence of the entire biofilm community. The removal of this biofilm and its retention factors is the ultimate goal of clinical treatment and oral measures applied. The elimination of the biofilm has traditionally been achieved with the use of either hand instruments or power driven devices. Promoting periodontal health or diminishing bacterial presence and calculus buildup on teeth can be accomplished with the same efficacy whether using manual scalers and curettes or ultrasonic scaling instruments. Both hand and ultrasonic instruments are characterized by being time- consuming and requiring technical skill, often causing patient discomfort and post-treatment pain, including hypersensitivity resulting from the loss of hard tissue when scaling the tooth surface. Ultrasonic instruments tend to leave a rougher surface behind compared to hand instruments. While effective the current techniques all have their disadvantages. The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in probing depth clinically, Bleeding on probing, Clinical attachment level, Plaque index, Calculus index, Patient pain/discomfort, Patient satisfaction, Cost effectiveness, Treatment time and Number of pockets closed after using AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master device with erythritol powder.

NCT05908929
Periodontal regenerative therapy has focused on various non-surgical and surgical treatment methods. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has shown to possess multiple uses, including properties that promote healing of both soft and hard tissues. In the present study, we hypothesized that the addition of PRF into periodontal pockets, as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing (SRP), would enhance the outcomes of non-surgical periodontal therapy. This split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial included 26 periodontal pocket sites in 13 patients with periodontitis. The pockets were randomly assigned as either test or control sites. In the test group, PRF was placed as an adjunct to SRP, while the control group received SRP alone. Probing pocket depths (PPD), clinical attachment levels (CAL), gingival recession (GR), plaque index (PI), and gingivitis index (GI) were measured at baseline and at six weeks. The wound healing index was measured during the six-week follow-up period.
NCT05905445
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that destroys tooth-supporting structures through oral bacterial plaque. ozone gel's act as an antimicrobial effect as an adjunct to conventional periodontal therapy (scaling and root planning). exposure of bacteria to ozone leads to the oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins that comprise the bacterial cell membrane. Ozone gel has the potential to play an anti-inflammatory role in the treatment of periodontitis by monitoring both clinical and biological parameters.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of concomitant antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPTD) on periodontal disease and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Clinical Relevance: aPTD is a noninvasive adjunctive therapy that can positively influence the periodontal treatment outcome.
NCT05803031
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the teeth's supporting tissues caused by specific microbes or groups of microorganisms that contributes to gradual deterioration of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, leading to periodontal pockets, gingival recession, or both. Periodontitis is generally known to be caused by the continuous destruction of the surrounding periodontium by complexly organized bacterial communities that colonizes the tooth surface, gingival margin, and subgingival area in the form of dental plaque biofilm. Researchers suggest the dependence of the treatment of periodontal disease on controlling the residual mass of periodontal microbes. Therefore, it is proposed that non-surgical therapy is regarded as the initial treatment of periodontitis, which includes mechanical therapy, such as oral hygiene measures and mechanical debridement like scaling and root planning. Chemical therapy could supplement the non-surgical mechanical therapy, including antimicrobials that can be systemically or locally delivered. Systemic delivery of antimicrobials plays a critical role in reaching microorganisms dispersed in the oral cavity, including those in non-dental oral niches, such as the dorsum of the tongue and crypts of tonsils. Despite these advantages, it might lead to unwanted systemic effects -such as nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort- or bacterial resistance, as it is completely dependent on the patient's adherence. Local Drug Delivery (LDD), compared to systemic administration, provides higher therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics at site of infection that is inaccessible to the systemic route and it is independent of patient's adherence, as has been shown in various studies. Natural products have long been an important source of medications, with natural ingredients accounting for almost half of all pharmaceuticals currently in use. Oriental medicines have been studied for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as periodontal tissue regeneration, in the treatment of periodontal disease. Tea tree oil (TTO), which is an example of one of these natural products, is obtained from paper bark tea tree. Tea tree oil was made from natural bush stands of plants, allegedly Melaleuca alternifolia, that generated oil with the required chemotype during that early stage. Melaleuca alternifolia's native habitat is low-lying, swampy, subtropical coastal ground along the Clarence and Richmond Rivers in northeastern New South Wales and southern Queensland, and it does not occur natively beyond Australia, unlike numerous other Melaleuca species. Tea tree oil, commonly known as "oil of the Tea tree" or "Melaleuca essential oil," is one of the most well-known essential oils. It's made from the Melaleuca alternifolia tree's leaves, which have been distilled. This plant is a member of the Myrtaceae family, which includes Australian arboreal plants. It is known as "nature's most versatile healer" among the native populations. Tea tree oil (TTO) possesses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, and antiprotozoal properties. Components of tea tree oil include: Terpinen-4-ol, α-Terpinene, γ -Terpinene, 1,8-Cineole, α -Terpinolene, p-Cymene, (+)-α-Pinene, α -Terpineol, Aromadendrene, δ -Cadinene, (+)-Limonene, Sabinene, and Globulol. The capacity of TTO components to reduce the production of TNF α, IL-1beta, IL-8, IL-10, and PGE2 by lipopolysaccharide activated human monocytes shows TTO's anti-inflammatory action, according to the researchers. TTO's major active components are 1,8-cineole and Terpinen-4-ol, and it has been shown that 1,8-cineole possesses anti-inflammatory characteristics and may permeate human skin. Other research suggests that Terpinen-4-ol not only has anti-inflammatory characteristics like 1,8-cineol, but also has anti-bacterial capabilities. TTO has the same antibacterial effect as chlorhexidine (CHX), however the mode of action is different. Antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activities are all present. According to researches, TTO is capable of lowering both inflammatory mediators and periodontal pathogens, which in turn reduces the stimulation of inflammatory cytokines, allowing periodontal tissues to repair when applied locally in periodontal pockets. Melaleuca Alternifolia was chosen for this study as a local drug delivery in the gel form to be placed in periodontal pockets as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal debridement for the management of localized periodontitis due to its therapeutic effects, ease of availability of tea tree oil, cost effectiveness, and safety with no adverse reactions.

NCT03374176
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth, usually caused by specific or groups of microorganisms that results in the progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. the objective of periodontitis treatment is to reduce the number of periodontal pathogens. However, there is not an agreement in the use of systemic antibiotics in patients with diabetes. The purpose of the present study was to determine the efficacy of amoxicillin/metronidazole compared to clindamycin during non-surgical treatment of periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients and methods In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, a total of 42 patients with chronic periodontitis and type 2 diabetes were included in a 24-months follow-up. Patients were randomly assigned to treatment with either amoxicillin/metronidazole or clindamycin every for 7 days. Clinical determinations (depth of probing, bleeding at the probe and plaque index) were performed to determine the extent and severity of periodontitis before and after the pharmacological treatment. The intra-group differences were calculated with Wilcoxon rank test. The inter-group differences were calculated with Mann-Whitney test. Sex, bacterial plaque, and bleed to the sounding were summarized using proportions and analyzed with the chi-square method. In all analyses, a P-value of \<0.05 (two tailed) was considered statistically significant
