About this study

Official title: Respective Effects of Periodontal Oral Hygiene Instructions and Non-surgical Treatment on Clinical and Patient Related Outcomes: a Controlled Study in Non Smoker, Former Smoker and Smoker

The present study was designed as a prospective controlled study focusing on the effect of oral hygiene instructions and periodontal nonsurgical treatment( PNST) on clinical outcomes and patients related outcomes (PROMs) in smokers versus former smokers versus non smoker patients.

Read the detailed description

75 consecutive patients presenting chronic periodontitis and who needed periodontal treatment were recruited in the Department of Periodontology and Oral Surgery at the University Hospital of Liège, Belgium (CHU, Sart-Tilman) according to the inclusion criteria.

The patients were subdivided between three groups: non-smoker (25), former smoker (25), and smoker patients(25).

Patients received informations about periodontitis genesis, the demonstration of oral hygiene instructions (OHI), the goal of PNST and the follow-up time were given ( baseline, after OHI, 3 months after PNST).

Periodontal clinical parameters and PROMS were collecetd and compared between 3 groups, at each visit.

Data collection:Periodontal clinical measurements and PROMS

The periodontal examination was conducted by a single periodontist (L.S) and included: probing depth (PD), gingival recession (RD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque score index (PI), Furcation (Furc), tooth mobility , the percentage of sites of PD ≥ 6mm and the number of missing tooth was recorded A graduated manual periodontal probe was used to take measurements at the 6 sites of each tooth. BOP (%) and plaque score (%) were collected as well as tooth mobility with a score from 1 to 3 . The furcation impairments were diagnosed with a Nabers probe according to the classification of Hamp and the Inflamed Surface Area (PISA) was calculated. Patients were classified according to the new periodontal classification identifying the grade, the stage and the extend of the periodontitis.

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) A questionnaire using a visual analogue scale (VAS) was given to all participants regarding their oral hygiene habits, and perception about oral esthetic. The following questions were subjected to the patients: nine questions graduated scale from 0 to 10: 1/"How do you judge your degree of oral hygiene?", 2/"What is the frequency of utilization of interdental brushing?", 3/"Do you like the color of your teeth? , 4/"Your teeth are there sensitive to cold? , 5/ "How do you judge your degree of gingival health? , 6/ "How do you judge the esthetic aspect of you gum?", 7/ "Do you like the color of your gum? ", 8/ "Does your gum bleed during brushing?", 9/ "How do you judge your breath?".

sample size: The study was powered to detect a minimum clinically significant difference in probing depth (PD) of 0.5 mm between patients, using α= 0.05. The probing depth at baseline was considered covariate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline of probing depth (PD)

    PD was measured , in millimetern with periodontal probe, at 6 sites of each tooth

    Measured: 2 weeks after baseline and 3 month after PNST

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from baseline of BOP (bleeding on probing)

    BOP was measured , in percentage of bleeding, at 6 sites of each tooth

    Measured: 2 weeks after baseline and 3 month after PNST

Model description
at baseline, patients recieved oral hygiene instructions The same examiner (LS) performed an oral demonstration including teeth brushing, interdental cleaning and tong wash. Each patient received proper head and interdental brushes demonstration, moreover, patients were educated to brush their ventral face of their tong A single periodontist (L.S) performed the supra gingival debridment at the second appointment (2 weeks after receiving OHI) , followed 2 weeks after by a full month debridement using ultrason piezoelectric device (Newtron P5 XS Bled, Acteon, Satelec , France) with specific micro-inserts (H1, H3, H4L, H4R)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Periodontitis, run by University of Liege.

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 5 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 22 Aug 2019. 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?

Change from baseline of probing depth (PD) (time frame: 2 weeks after baseline and 3 month after PNST). 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 22 Aug 2019.
