About this study

Official title: Straumann® Emdogain® Application In Conjunction With Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique For Periodontal Disease Treatment: A Split-Mouth Design Study

The aim of this controlled study is to assess the clinical outcomes and patient reported outcomes of using minimally invasive surgical procedure with Straumann Emdogain as an adjunct (test treatment) or without Straumann Emdogain (control treatment).

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study will be achieved through the following primary and secondary objectives. The primary objective is to evaluate the regenerative potential of Straumann Emdogain by comparing the change in clinical attachment level from baseline to 12 months between the test and control arms. The regenerative potential of Straumann Emdogain will also be assessed by comparing the changes in gingival margins, changes in average probing pocket depth, changes in full mouth plaque score, changes in bleeding on probing, and changes in root dentin hypersensitivity from baseline to 12 months between the test and control arms.

Conditions
Periodontitis
Being tested
Scaling and root planing, Scaling and root planing without Emdogain, Emdogain application

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Clinical Attachment Levels (CAL)

    CAL will be measured in millimeters on the study teeth at 6 locations. Outcome is mean change of CAL from baseline measurements at surgery to 12-months post-surgery, taken from the deepest pocket of a patient's test and control teeth measured at baseline. Analysis will compare the mean change of CAL for test and control treatment arms.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Month Follow-Up Visit

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in Gingival Margin (GM)

    GM will be measured in millimeters on the study teeth at 6 locations. Outcome is mean change of GM from baseline at surgery to 12-months-post surgery, taken from the deepest pocket of a patient's test and control teeth measured at baseline. Analysis will compare the mean change of GM for test and control treatment arms.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Month Follow-Up Visit

  2. Change in Pocket Probing Depth (PPD)

    PPD will be measured in millimeters on the study teeth in 6 locations. Outcome is mean change of PPD from baseline at surgery to 12-months post-surgery, taken from the deepest pocket of a patient's test and control teeth at baseline. Analysis will compare the mean change of PPD for test and control treatment arms.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Month Follow-Up Visit

  3. Change in Full Mouth Plaque Score (FMPS)

    FMPS will be calculated based on the number of tooth surfaces with plaque over the total number of tooth surfaces x 100. The value is presented as a percent. The difference in FMPS between 12 months and baseline will be determined.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Month Follow-Up Visit

  4. Change in Bleeding on Probing (BoP)

    For the categorical variable BoP, the frequency of bleeding (present or absent) will be counted (absolute and in percent) over all measured sites around the identified study teeth for each treatment group. The results will be compared between the 12-month follow-up and baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Month Follow-Up Visit

  5. Change in Root Dentin Hypersensitivity

    Presence of root dentin hypersensitivity will be recorded as "none" (no reaction from the subject), "mild" (sensible with no pain), "moderate" (sensible with slight pain), or "severe" (sensible with pain that persists for a while) after a conventional air blast is applied to the study tooth. Changes in the frequency of categories will be determined and compared between the two treatment arms. An improvement is defined as a decreased reaction (for example, severe to mild), a deterioration is defined as increased reaction (for example, none to moderate), and unchanged is no change to reaction (for example, mild to mild).

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Month Follow-Up Visit

  6. Change in Post-surgical Pain

    Post-surgical pain will be measured on a 100 millimeter visual analog scale. The range is 0 (no pain) to 99 (nearly maximum pain). The lower the value, the better the outcome. The subjects will be instructed to mark their level of pain on a line for both the test quadrant and the control quadrant. The average change in pain level will be determined and compared between the two arms.

    Measured: 1-2 days post surgery, 1 week post surgery, and 2 weeks post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling and root planing, Scaling and root planing without Emdogain and Emdogain application in people with Periodontitis, run by Institut Straumann AG at 4 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Canada, Germany. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Clinical Attachment Levels (CAL) (time frame: Baseline and 12 Month Follow-Up Visit). 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 17 Oct 2019.
