About this study

Official title: Clinical, Immunological and Microbiological Evaluation of Experimental Gingivitis and Peri-implant Mucositis in Patients With History of Agressive Periodontal Disease

The objective of this study is to evaluate, through clinical, microbiological and immunological tests, the changes during the experimental gingivitis and mucositis model, between teeth and implants, and between patients with a history of aggressive periodontitis and healthy individuals.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate, through clinical, microbiological and immunological tests, the changes during the experimental gingivitis and mucositis model, between teeth and implants, and between patients with a history of aggressive periodontitis and healthy individuals. 20 patients will be include, 10 healthy and 10 with a history of aggressive periodontitis. All patients must present the same type of implant and abutments, with prostheses in function for more than 6 months. They should also have a tooth located in the contralateral hemi-arch in a similar position, allowing a comparison with the implant. They will be submitted to the plaque-induced inflammation by suspension of oral hygiene only in the tested areas (tooth / implant), protected by a personalized stent made of plastic, according to the experimental gingivitis and mucositis model of 21 days of duration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of Modified Gingival Index in five different periods

    According to the method of Löe \& Silness (1963) without the bleeding in the component of prueba.Measure at each visit 0 - absence of inflammation;

    1. - Light inflammation - slight color change and little alteration in gingival texture;
    2. - Moderate inflammation - moderate texture change, redness, edema, hypertrophy.
    3. - Severe inflammation - redness, hypertrophy.

    Measured: Baseline, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 42 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes of Angulated Bleeding Index in five different periods

    0 - No bleeding.

    1. - Bleeding after probe stimulation.
    2. - Spontaneous bleeding

    Measured: Baseline, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 42 days

  2. Changes of Plaque Index in five different periods

    0 - Absence of plaque

    1. - A thin layer of plaque adhered to the free gingival margin and adjacent to the dental surface. The plaque can be seen in situ only after the use of an evidentiary solution or through the passage of the periodontal probe through the dental surface.
    2. - Moderate accumulation in the periodontal pocket, dental surface or gingival margin, seen with the naked eye.
    3. - Abundance of plaque in the periodontal pocket and / or on the dental surface and gingival margin.

    Measured: Baseline, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 42 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimentally induced plaque in people with Gingivitis and Mucositis, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 1 site 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 7 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 19 Oct 2018. 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 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. 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 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?

Changes of Modified Gingival Index in five different periods (time frame: Baseline, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 42 days). 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 NCT03713567, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Oct 2018.
