In-office and Domiciliary Use of a New Ozonized Gel for the Management of Periodontal Disease

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Periodontal Diseases
Interventions
Other: Chlorhexidine
Other: Ozoral gels
Registration Number
NCT05254288
Lead Sponsor
University of Pavia
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of non-surgical periodontal therapy with supportive home oral care for the treatment of periodontal disease.

Patients with bilateral periodontal pathological sites will undergo professional dental hygiene with ultrasonic handpiece (Piezon EMS with PerioSlim inserts) followed by manual instrumentation with Gracey curettes and application of erythritol Airflow powders. Then, patients will be randomly divided into two groups according to a split-mouth design: the Control Group will undergo a split-mouth application of chlorhexidine gel 1% for quadrants 1/3 (or 2/4), while for the Trial Group Ozoral Pro for quadrants 2/4 (or 1/3) will be used. Patients will use the products at home with one daily application for the following 14 days after the visits. The Trial Group will use Ozoral Gel for home applications.

The following indexes will be assessed at baseline, T1 (1 month), T2 (3 months) and T3 (6 months): recession, PPD, BoP %, CAL, PCR %. Contextually, the application of the two gels will be performed.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of non-surgical periodontal therapy with supportive home oral care for the treatment of periodontal disease comparing chlorhexidine and ozone gels.

Patients with bilateral periodontal pathological sites will undergo professional dental hygiene with ultrasonic handpiece (Piezon EMS with PerioSlim inserts) followed by manual instrumentation with Gracey curettes and application of erythritol Airflow powders. Then, patients will be randomly divided into two groups according to a split-mouth design:

* Control Group: application of chlorhexidine gel 1% for quadrants 1/3 (or 2/4)

* Trial Group: administration of Ozoral Pro for quadrants 2/4 (or 1/3).

Patients will use the products at home with one daily application for the following 14 days after the visits. The Trial Group will use Ozoral Gel for home applications.

The following indexes will be assessed at baseline, T1 (1 month), T2 (3 months) and T3 (6 months): recession, PPD, BoP %, CAL, PCR %. Contextually, the application of the two gels will be performed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in R - Gingival recessionTime Frame: baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline

Distance (in mm) between the gingival margin and the amelo-cemental junction.

Change in Bleeding on Probing (BOP%)Time Frame: baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline

Dichotomous scoring (yes/no) of bleeding sites

Change in Plaque Control Record (PCR%)Time Frame: baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline

% assessment of the amount of plaque on dental surfaces; it is detected on 4 surfaces: distal, mesial, vestibular, lingual / palatal. The number of sites with plaque is divided by the total number of sites available in the mouth and multiplied by 100. Results indicate the index as a percentage.

Change in PPD - Probing Pocket DepthTime Frame: baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline

Evaluation (in mm) of the depth of the gingival sulcus, through a millimeter periodontal probe; it is detected from the gingival margin to the bottom of the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket, evaluated at 6 sites.

Change in Dental mobility (Miller, 1985)Time Frame: baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline

Scoring criteria

* Grade 0: oscillation within 0.2 mm; the teeth move naturally and there are no mobility problems;

* Grade I: horizontal mobility of the tooth from 0.2 to 1 mm;

* Grade II: horizontal mobility of the tooth from 1 to 2 mm;

* Grado III: horizontal mobility equal to or greater than 3 mm or vertical mobility of the tooth.
