Trial summary

This study will determine whether the supplemental use of chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing is more effective than scaling and root planing alone in clinically reducing periodontal probing depth (PD), reducing bleeding on probing (BOP), and gaining clinical attachment level (CAL).

About this study

Official title: Using Chemical Pocket Disinfection as an Adjunct to Non-surgical Maintenance Therapy of Inflamed Periodontal Pockets

This study will determine whether the supplemental use of chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing is more effective than scaling and root planing alone in clinically reducing periodontal probing depth (PD), reducing bleeding on probing (BOP), and gaining clinical attachment level (CAL). It also will assess whether chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing will have an effect on biomarkers of inflammation.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the adjunctive use of chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing is more effective than scaling and root planing alone in clinically reducing periodontal probing depth (PD), reducing bleeding on probing (BOP), and gaining clinical attachment level (CAL). It also will assess whether chemical pocket disinfection with scaling and root planing will have an effect on biomarkers of inflammation, as indicated by presence of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, compared to scaling and root planing alone. The chemical pocket disinfection therapy consists of delivering a sodium hypochlorite solution followed by a neutralizing citric acid solution to the test site. Pro-inflammatory interleukin-1 beta and anti-inflammatory interleukin-1 receptor antagonist will be measured from the gingival crevicular fluid sampled from sites of interest.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Probing depths

    Periodontal probing depth (PD)

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Bleeding on probing

    Incidence of bleeding during probing

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Clinical attachment level

    Clinical attachment level is calculated by adding gingival recession to probing depth; measures the connective tissue and epithelial attachment level relative to the cementoenamel junction

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Inflammatory markers

    Measure interleukin-1 beta and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist levels in gingival crevicular fluid from sites of interest

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling and root planing and Scaling and root planing with solution in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by University of Nebraska at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Study stopped and was not completed). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Probing depths (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2023.
