Trial summary

Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent inflammatory diseases. These diseases are mostly due to the development and the maturation of bacterial plaque which lead to local inflammation. Individuals can develop severe attachment loss which could lead to dental loss. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Intraoral Scanners as a Motivation Method for Oral Hygiene Instruction

Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent inflammatory diseases. These diseases are mostly due to the development and the maturation of bacterial plaque which lead to local inflammation. Individuals can develop severe attachment loss which could lead to dental loss. To prevent them, individual plaque removal procedures self-performed by the patient by tooth brushing or interdental brushes or made by professional care (scaling), are known to improve periodontal health, and thus to prevent periodontal diseases. Moreover, oral hygiene is a major factor to increase increasing the outcomes when treatments are needed. However, patients' compliance in oral health program is one of the major limits to periodontal therapeutics.

In this study, the investigators evaluate the effectiveness of 3D intra-oral camera compared with conventional oral hygiene instructions, to improve oral health motivation.

Read the detailed description

The present study explores the effectiveness of intraoral scanners in the field of oral hygiene motivation and instruction to improve the patient's motivation.

Patients presenting periodontitis or gingivitis are recruited and randomized in 2 groups: conventional motivation procedures and conventional motivation procedures supported with 3D representations of their mouth obtained by intraoral scanners. Periodontal diseases (periodontitis and gingivitis) will be diagnosed according to the international classification of periodontal diseases, based on the decision-making algorithms. A periodontal charting, socio-demographic data and clinical data will be collected. Then, oral mucosa dermatological manifestations, treatment needs (ICDAS) and quality of life related to oral health (GOHAI) will be evaluated.

After inclusion, patients will be randomized between conventional motivation procedures and conventional motivation procedures associated with 3D intra oral procedures.

The investigators hypothesized that the 3D intra oral representations could improve oral hygiene in patients compared with those receiving only a classical motivation procedure. The primary objective is to evaluate if patients instructed to oral hygiene procedures using a representation of their mouth obtained by the use of a intraoral scanner present fewer plaque than the ones instructed without it. This could be achieved by the analysis of plaque control record index in both group.

The secondary objectives are :

  • To compare the evolution of the bleeding on probing clinical index between the two groups.
  • To compare the evolution of mean periodontal pocket depths, mean recessions and mean clinical attachment level between the two groups.
  • To compare the quality of life related to oral health between the two groups
  • To evaluate the time needed to add intraoral scans in the procedure
  • To evaluate the relevance of the received information.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plaque Control Record Evolution

    Recording the presence of plaque on individual tooth surfaces (mesial, distal, facial, lingual). The plaque is highlighted by a periodontal probe.

    PCR is calculated according the following formula :

    PCR = (Number of faces with plaque / Total number of faces) x 100

    Measured: Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra oral scan in people with Periodontitis and Gingivitis, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 16 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 3 Apr 2025. 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 France. 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?

Plaque Control Record Evolution (time frame: Day 14). 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 3 Apr 2025.
