• Conditions: Periodontal Diseases

• Registration Number: NCT05846139
• Lead Sponsor: Tuscan Dental Institute

Brief Summary

Aim: The presence of bacterial plaque is associated with the development of periodontal inflammation. The aim of this single-blind randomized clinical study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of two different agents in a staged approach for nonsurgical periodontal treatment in terms of clinical and patients related outcomes in a cohort of patients with periodontitis: NitrAdine® based disinfectant formula (PerioTabs®) vs Chlorhexidine 0.12 toothpaste and mouthwash 0.20.

Material and methods: Patients with a diagnosis of periodontal disease (stage I-III) scheduled for non surgical periodontal treatment were randomly allocated to the preparatory home use of a chlorhexidine mouthwash or a NitrAdine® based brushing solution called PerioTabs® for 10-15 days. Active decontamination with ultrasonic scalers was performed after the completion of the preparation period. Clinical and patient-related outcomes were recorded at baseline, at the moment of professional intervention, and after 30 and 90 days from baseline.
