About this study

Official title: Ozonated Water Irrigation as an Adjunct to Mechanical Periodontal Therapy in Patients With Periodontitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The use of chlorhexidine or ozonized water in periodontal pockets accompanying NPT can provide a significant improvement in probing pocket depths compared to conventional treatment. However, the effect of subgingival ozonized water applications on VEGF and IGF levels, which are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and periodontal regeneration, should be examined.

Read the detailed description

Background: This study aims to evaluate the effects of subgingival ozonated water irrigation as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment on clinical and biochemical parameters of patients with moderate and severe periodontitis.

Methods: A total of 72 stage II and Stage III periodontitis patients were included in the study. The systemically healthy patients which were between the ages of 19 and 58 were treated non-surgically. At the end of each visit concerning periodontal treatment, the pocket of each tooth was irrigated with a sterile plastic syringe (10 mL per quadrant) with a blunt tip containing ozonated water (OW; ozone groups), 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX groups) or saline (C; control groups) for 30-60 s. Periodontal clinical parameters, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels were evaluated at baseline and 8 weeks after periodontal treatment. All statistical data were analyzed using SPSS software.

What is being measured

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

  1. vascular endothelial growth factor level

    Changes in the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor in all groups within 8 weeks after periodontal treatment were measured.

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. insulin-like growth factor-1 level

    Changes in the concentration of insulin-like growth factor-1 in all groups within 8 weeks after periodontal treatment were measured.

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks

  2. Probing pocket depth

    The changes in probing pocket depth before and after periodontal treatment were measured in 72 participants to determine the severity of disease and clinic outcome.

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks

  3. Clinical attachment level

    The changes in clinical attachment level before and after periodontal treatment were measured in 72 participants to determine the severity of disease and clinic outcome.

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks

  4. Gingival index

    The changes in gingival index level before and after periodontal treatment were measured in 72 participants to determine the severity of the disease.

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks

  5. Plaque index

    The changes in gingival index level before and after periodontal treatment were measured in 72 participants to determine the severity of disease and clinic status.

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks

  6. Bleeding on probing

    The changes in bleeding on probing before and after periodontal treatment were measured in 72 participants to record for classifying and evaluate (apically) gingival inflammation.

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing salin irrigation, ozonated water irrigation and chlorhexidine irrigation in people with Periodontal Diseases, run by Abant Izzet Baysal University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 Sep 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

vascular endothelial growth factor level (time frame: Baseline and after 8 weeks). 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 Sep 2020.
