About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Some Local Antimicrobial Agents' Adjunctive Effects On Periodontal Parameters and Halitosis With Subgingival Ultrasonic Instrumentation in Periodontitis Patients: A Randomized Clinical Study

The aim of this trial was to establish the clinical efficacy of Listerine and chlorhexidine (CHX) when used as a cooling agent with ultrasonic instrumentation, on periodontal parameters and halitosis.

Ninety patients with periodontal disease participated for the study. Individuals were randomly selected to a control and test groups. At baseline, all subjects completed a questionnaire and carried out an examination. Standard periodontal outcome variables were assessed. For both groups, the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), pocket depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment level (CAL) scores were enrolled at baseline and after 30 days. Volatile sulphur compound (VSC) levels were evaluated by a Halimeter (Interscan Corp., Chatsworth, CA, USA) at baseline (T0), immediately after treatment (T1), and at 7 (T2), 14 (T3) and 30 days (T4).

What is being measured

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

  1. Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD)

    PD were evaluated: at the follow-up sessions by the investigator with by marking a point on a 10 mm periodontal probe.

    Measured: 30 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. halimeter values

    The changes of Volatile Sulphure Compaunds by were evaluated with Halimeter Device at the follow-up sessions by the investigator. The Halimeter reads out in parts-per-billion (ppb) of volatile sulfur compounds.

    Measured: 30 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasonic (Piezon Master 700) performed with Listerine, ultrasonic (Piezon Master 700) performed with CHX and ultrasonic (Piezon Master 700) performed with serum in people with Halitosis, run by Near East University, Turkey.

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 1 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 16 Mar 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. 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?

Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD) (time frame: 30 day). 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 16 Mar 2018.
