RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INITIAL PROBING DEPTH AND CHANGES IN CLINICAL PARAMETERS FOLLOWING NON-SURGICAL PERIODONTAL TREATMENT IN CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS PATIENTS

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Periodontitis
• Interventions: Device: Gracey Curettes

• Registration Number: NCT02861326
• Lead Sponsor: Marmara University

Brief Summary

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between initial probing depth (IPD) and changes in clinical parameters following non-surgical periodontal treatment (NPT) in chronic periodontitis patients.

Material and Methods: A total of 1672 periodontal pockets having 3 mm≤IPD≤9 mm in 15 chronic periodontitis patients were included. NPT consisting of oral hygiene instructions, scaling and root planing was applied in two sessions. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level, gingival recession (GR) were measured before and eight weeks after treatment. Pocket sites were grouped according to their IPD and root number of teeth as single- or multi-rooted.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Patients	Gracey Curettes	Non-surgical periodontal treatment has performed to patients. Scaling and root planing were performed with Gracey curettes until the operator feels that root surface is clean, hard and smooth.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Probing Depth	8 week	Probing depth is defined as the distance from the free gingival margin to the bottom of the periodontal pocket.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Gingival recession	8 week	Gingival recession is defined as the distance from cementoenamel junction to free gingival margin.
Clinical attachment level	8 week	Clinical attachment level is defined as the distance from the cementoenamel junction to the bottom of the periodontal pocket
