What is being measured

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

  1. Horizontal probing depth

    Measured with a periodontal probe (mm). Ideal if 0.

    Measured: one year

  2. Tomographic Bone filling

    Complete filling of furcation defect in tomographic images. Ideal is a radiopaque image similar to neighbor bone.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Probing depth

    Distance from gingival margin to bottom of sulcus. Measured with a periodontal probe (mm). Ideal if < 2 mm.

    Measured: one year

  2. Clinical Attachment Level

    Distance from cemento-enamel junction to bottom of sulcus. Measured with a periodontal probe (mm). Ideal if < 2 mm.

    Measured: one year

  3. Bleeding on probing

    Visual confirmation of bleeding after probing. Ideal if not bleeding.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling and root planing and Toluidine Blue O in people with Periodontitis, Chronic and Periodontal Diseases, run by University of Sao Paulo at 2 sites in Brazil.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 27 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Brazil. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Horizontal probing depth (time frame: one year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03264118, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Feb 2023.
