About this study

a randomized controlled single-blinded study. the hypothesis of this clinical trial is that disjunctive use of diode laser improve the clinical parameters of periodontists , and there are significant difference between the conventional treatment and diode laser as an adjunct

Read the detailed description

A total of 240 sites with deep pocket in 30 systemically healthy patients with chronic periodontitis, from subjects attending Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) Postgraduate Dental Clinic (PDC), the age range were (28-55) year, between Apr 2017 and Oct 2017. Those patients were enrolled in a randomized controlled single-blinded study. For each patient, full medical and dental history and periodontal examination were recorded. Clinical parameters such as pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were evaluated at the baseline. All Patients underwent initial periodontal therapy; SRP which was performed using a sonic device and hand instruments and the sites were divided randomly into two groups SRP alone and SRP with adjunctive diode 810 nm laser in the contralateral sites in the same jaw. The Clinical parameters have been re-evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months to test the effectiveness of (810 nm, 2 W, pulsed mode, for 20 sec) in treatment of CP. Diode laser therapy was applied to periodontal pockets in the same day of treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diode laserRadiation

    Diode laser 810nm, 2W, 20sec, 20 HZ

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SRP and diode laserExperimentalIn a split mouth design either left or right sites randomly treated by SRP and diode laser as an adjunct
Receives: Radiation: Diode laser
SRP aloneNo interventionThe other sites in the other side will be treated by SRP alone

What is being measured

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

  1. Probing depth (PD) in millimeter (mm), clinical attachment loss (CAL) in millimeter (mm)

    PD its the distance from gingival margin to the base of the pocket in millimeter (mm) CAL the recession is added to the PD in millimeter (mm)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1 month in PD and CAL, change from baseline to 3 month in PD and CAL ,change from baseline to 6 month in PD and CAL

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diode laser in people with Periodontitis, run by Jordan University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Jordan.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 23 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 Jordan. 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?

Probing depth (PD) in millimeter (mm), clinical attachment loss (CAL) in millimeter (mm) (time frame: Change from baseline to 1 month in PD and CAL, change from baseline to 3 month in PD and CAL ,change from baseline to 6 month in PD and CAL). 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 23 Oct 2018.
