About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Quality of Life, Self-image and Oral Health in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Comparative Study.

The objective of this work will be to conduct a controlled clinical trial to assess whether the dental treatment of adequacy of the oral environment is capable of generating improvement in the quality of life and self-esteem, comparing the results of patients on hemodialysis who received treatment with others who did not receive treatment .

Read the detailed description

After selecting the sample, patients will undergo an oral examination performed by a dental surgeon, in which they will be evaluated for the presence of lesions in the oral mucosa, periodontal conditions through simplified periodontal record - PSR, oral hygiene index, caries and lack of teeth - DMFT, if they need treatment and the situation of the prosthesis, if they use them, the data being recorded in a specific medical record. Subsequently, intervention will be performed in the group that received the treatment (intervention group). The treatment will consist of the adequacy of the oral environment in patients with teeth and evaluation of the mucosa and prostheses for edentulous patients.

The service will take place at the UFVJM Surgery and Periodontics Clinic, on previously scheduled days and times. About 5 to 10 days before treatment, patients answered questionnaires about socioeconomic characterization, self-esteem and quality of life. The therapeutic protocol followed during the service will be the one proposed by Quirynen (1995) [22], in which the debridement of the entire mouth is recommended in a single 45-minute session. After removing the supra and subgingival biofilm, the patient will be instructed to use mouthwashes with 15 ml of 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, for one minute, twice a day, thirty minutes after brushing, for seven days. In this phase, emergency extractions, restoration of restorations and cavity closure with glass ionomer cement and resins in the anterior teeth will also be performed, in order to adapt the oral environment in minimal interventions, considering the patient's systemic state.

All patients who have at least 1 tooth, healthy or not, will be considered dentate. Toothless patients will receive guidance on oral hygiene and prostheses, if used, and will also use mouthwash with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate for the same period. Group participants who were not submitted to the intervention (control group), received the same initial assessment and answered the same questionnaires, but will not be treated at that time. After 45 days from the end of the dental treatment, everyone will be reassessed, went through oral hygiene instructions again and answered the questionnaires, the questions being directed to the patient's perception in the last 45 days after treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing dental treatment in people with Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis, run by Federal University of São Paulo 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 3 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 25 Jun 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Dental treatment (time frame: 6 years). 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 25 Jun 2020.
