About this study

Official title: Effect on Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy on First Molars Banded for Fixed Orthodontic Treatment

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on first molars banded for fixed orthodontic treatment.

Read the detailed description

A total of 30 patients who were about to undergo fixed orthodontic therapy were selected and divided into two groups.

Group A comprised of 15 patients who were treated with routine full-mouth supragingival scaling and subgingival scaling only around all banded first molars.

Group B comprised of 15 patients who were treated with full-mouth supragingival scaling and subgingival scaling only around all banded first molars followed by irrigation with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution (Trade name: HEXIDINE), an antiseptic - antiplaque agent. Treatment for both the groups was performed at 3rd month, 6th month and 9th month.

Parameters such as radiographic evidence of alveolar crestal bone level, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level around the banded first molars and full-mouth plaque index were recorded as a change from baseline to 12th month. The differences between the values were assessed and sent for statistical analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline radiographic evidence of alveolar crestal bone level at 12th month

    Radiographic evidence of alveolar crestal bone level was measured around each banded first molar

    Measured: Baseline to 12th month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change from baseline plaque index at 12th month

    Full-mouth plaque index measurements were carried out at four sites around each tooth (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal and lingual).

    Measured: Baseline to 12 month

  2. Change from baseline gingival index at 12th month

    The measurements were carried out around all the banded first molars at four sites (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal and lingual).

    Measured: Baseline to 12th month

  3. Change from baseline probing pocket depth at 12th month

    The probing pocket depth was measured clinically using Williams periodontal probe at six sites (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, distolingual and lingual) of each banded first molar.

    Measured: Baseline to 12th month

  4. Change from baseline clinical attachment level at 12th month

    Clinical attachment level (CAL) was measured as the distance between a fixed point on the crown such as cementoenamel junction to the base of the pocket.

    Measured: Baseline to 12th month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Full-mouth supragingival scaling, Subgingival scaling and Subgingival irrigation in people with Periodontitis, run by Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change from Baseline radiographic evidence of alveolar crestal bone level at 12th month (time frame: Baseline to 12th month). 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 NCT03410602, 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 26 Jan 2018.
