How to deal with Periodontitis ?

Hi guys,

My mother has periodontitis and I would like to help her cure this.

So, I make some research and found out about topical CoQ10 : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0098299794900345?via%3Dihub

On the study, they use 85mg/ML of CoQ10 in Soybean oil.

Periodontitis is an inflammation, so I think it's better to use DMSO instead of soybean oil. Is it ok to use it that way ?

I really would like to have your opinion on this and what would be the treatment you would use.

Thanks for your help guys.

Ten male patients with adult periodontitis participated and 30 periodontal pockets were selected. During the first 3 weeks, the patients did not receive any periodontal therapy except the topical application of CoQ10. After the first 3-week period, root planning and subgingival scaling were performed in all sites. CoQ10 was applied in 20 of the pockets once a week for a period of 6 weeks. Soybean oil was applied to the remaining 10 sites as a control

Soybean oils wasn't used as a delivery, but as a control.

Probably more ideal to treat the real cause...however most people are ensnared into their own vices. That vice is usually sugar and/or carbohydrates that all convert into glucose. That in turn reverses the fluid flow.

In the context of fluid flow in teeth, centrifugal force can play a role in the movement of fluids, such as saliva or blood, within the tooth pulp. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels.

As the tooth pulp is surrounded by hard dental tissues, such as dentin and enamel, any fluid flow within the pulp is restricted by the small spaces and channels within it. When fluid is forced to move within these small channels, centrifugal force may act on the fluid and cause it to move towards the outer edges of the pulp.

Xylitol has been shown to have a beneficial effect on periodontitis, a gum disease that causes inflammation and damage to the gums and bone that support teeth. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that is used as a sugar substitute in many oral care products, such as chewing gum, toothpaste, and mouthwash.

Studies have shown that xylitol can help to reduce the amount of harmful bacteria in the mouth that contribute to periodontitis. It does this by preventing the bacteria from adhering to the teeth and gums, which helps to reduce inflammation and prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar.

In addition, xylitol has been shown to stimulate the production of saliva, which helps to neutralize acids in the mouth and promote the remineralization of tooth enamel. This can help to prevent tooth decay, another common oral health problem that is often associated with periodontitis.

Thanks a lot (from my mother and I) for this very complete response.

My bad, I thaught it was use as a vehicule in both cases. My english has some limits.

I still have a question and a little fear :

1) My mother is a bit afraid to use some sugar to heal her periodontitis. How a sugar cannot be bad for the mouth ?

2) What would be the best way to use this sugar ? Toothpast, chewing gum, as powder directly on mouth ?

Again : thank you for your help and knowledge. Even her dentist doesn't know what to do for her...

Xylitol is safe for humans...(just not pet friendly).

It does the opposite of regular sugar.

Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a sugar substitute. It is found in small amounts in fruits and vegetables, and it can also be extracted from birch wood.

Studies have shown that xylitol can help combat Streptococcus mutans, a type of bacteria that is commonly found in the mouth and is a major contributor to dental cavities. Xylitol is not metabolized by these bacteria, which means that they cannot use it as a source of energy.

Furthermore, when Streptococcus mutans is exposed to xylitol, it has been shown to interfere with the bacteria's ability to stick to the teeth and form biofilms, which are collections of bacteria that can contribute to tooth decay. As a result, xylitol can help reduce the levels of harmful bacteria in the mouth and promote a healthier oral environment.

Xylitol can be found in many sugar-free gums, mints, and other dental products. It is also available in granulated form and can be used as a sugar substitute in cooking and baking.

Again, thanks a lot for your knowledge.

She will try Xylitol. I hope she will be able to surprise her dentist with good results.
