The Effect Of Locally Applied Simvastatin On Clinical Attachment Level And Alveolar Bone In Periodontal Maintenance Patients, Lauren Krell
The Effect Of Locally Applied Simvastatin On Clinical Attachment Level And Alveolar Bone In Periodontal Maintenance Patients, Lauren Krell
Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial was to determine if the local application of simvastatin (SIM), combined with minimally invasive papilla reflection and root preparation (PR/RP), is effective in improving clinical attachment level (CAL), primary outcome measure; probing depth (PD) reduction; increasing interproximal bone height (IBH); and reducing bleeding on probing (BOP) in persistent 6-9 mm periodontal pockets in patients receiving periodontal maintenance therapy (PMT). Fifty patients with Stage III, Grade B periodontitis (AAP, 2018) presenting with a 6-9 mm interproximal PD with a history of bleeding on probing (BOP) were included in the study. Experimental 2.2 mg …
The Effect Of Enamel Matrix Derivative/Papilla Reflection Surgery On The Clinical And Alveolar Bone Outcomes In Periodontal Maintenance Patients, Erica E. Jasa
Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine if local application of enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain; EMD), combined with minimally invasive papilla reflection/root preparation (PR/RP), is effective in improving probe depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and interproximal bone height (IBH) in persistent 6-9 mm periodontal pockets in patients on periodontal maintenance therapy (PMT). Fifty periodontal maintenance patients with advanced chronic periodontitis presenting with a 6-9 mm interproximal PD were included in study. Experimental (PR/RP+EMD; n=24) and control (PR/RP+S; n=26) therapies were randomly allocated. Roots were treated with reflection of interproximal papillae, root planing assisted with endoscope evaluation, and acid …
The Effect Of Emdogain Periodontal Regenerative Material On Inflammation In Periodontal Maintenance Patients, Jessica M. Gradoville
The Effect Of Emdogain Periodontal Regenerative Material On Inflammation In Periodontal Maintenance Patients, Jessica M. Gradoville
Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this double-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial was to determine if local application of enamel matrix protein derivative (Emdogain:EMD), combined with minimally-invasive papilla reflection is effective in reducing inflammation in periodontal pockets in patients on periodontal maintenance therapy (PMT).Fifty patients diagnosed with advanced chronic periodontitis presenting with a 6-9mm interproximal probing depth were included in the trial. Experimental (EMD; n=24) and control (saline, n=26) therapies were randomly allocated. Roots were treated with mini-flaps and root planing assisted with endoscope evaluation before EMD or saline application. Inflammation was assessed by bleeding on probing (BOP) at baseline, 6-, and 12-months …
Local Minocycline To Reduce Future Inflammation And Bone Loss In Periodontal Maintenance Patients, Jeffery S. Jensen
Local Minocycline To Reduce Future Inflammation And Bone Loss In Periodontal Maintenance Patients, Jeffery S. Jensen
Theses & Dissertations
The objectives of this study were to compare the effect of SRP+MM versus SRP alone on inflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-1 receptor antagonist (ra), found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva, and correlate IL-1 values with clinical outcomes over a 2-year period of PMT. Fifty-five patients with an initial posterior pocket ≥5 mm and history of bleeding on probing (BOP) were randomized to test (SRP+MM, n=27) and control (SRP, n=28) groups. Clinical measurements and GCF samples were done at baseline and 24 months. SRP+MM or SRP were provided at 6-month intervals. IL-1β and IL-1ra were measured in GCF …
