About this study

Official title: Effect of Glutaraldehyde on Dentin Hypersensitivity After Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment: a Triple-blind Randomized Clinical Trial.

This randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blind trial aims to evaluate the effect of glutaraldehyde associated or not with 37% phosphoric acid conditioning on dentin hypersensitivity reduction after non-surgical periodontal treatment, and its durability after 15 and 30 days. desensitizing treatment. Additionally, investigate the impact of these treatments on health-related quality of life. The investigators selected patients who, after scraping and planing procedures, presented at least 2 teeth meeting the following inclusion criteria: presence of gingival recession without or with a periodontal pocket up to 5mm probing depth, which presented painful sensitivity response to tactile stimulus. and evaporative. Subjects were randomized into 3 groups: Placebo Group (GP) - Placebo Gel application followed by Placebo solution (distilled water); GPG- Placebo Gel application followed by application 5% aqueous glutaraldehyde solution; GSG - Application of 37% phosphoric acid followed by 5% aqueous glutaraldehyde solution. The sensitivity of the dental elements was evaluated by pain stimuli (tactile and evaporative) with the aid of a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). A questionnaire was applied to patients with the objective of capturing psychosocial experiences, prior to treatment and one month after its completion, to assess the impact of desensitizing treatment on health-related quality of life. Data will be collected and appropriate statistical tests will be applied.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dentin sensitivity

    Evaluation of pain (dentin sensitivity) by applying tactile (exploratory probe pressure) and evaporative (air blast) stimuli on exposed dentin. Sensitivity will be measured using the Thomas Schiff scale from 0 to 3. Zero means absent dentin sensitivity and three means severe dentin sensitivity.

    Measured: Immediately after the intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dentin hypersensitivity experience questionnaire

    A self-reported questionnaire was applied by the patients with the objective of capturing psychosocial experiences, previous treatment and one month after its completion, aiming to evaluate the impact of desensitizing treatment on health-related quality of life.

    Measured: Immediately after the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Phosphoric Acid 37% + Solução aquosa de glutaraldeído a 5% in people with Dentin Sensitivity, run by Universidade Federal do Para 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 1 inclusion and 9 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 21 Apr 2020. 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?

Dentin sensitivity (time frame: Immediately after the intervention). 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 21 Apr 2020.
