Clinical Evaluation of Some Local Antimicrobial Agents' Adjunctive Effects On Periodontal Parameters and Halitosis

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Halitosis

• Registration Number: NCT03468595
• Lead Sponsor: Near East University, Turkey

Brief Summary

The aim of this trial was to establish the clinical efficacy of Listerine and chlorhexidine (CHX) when used as a cooling agent with ultrasonic instrumentation, on periodontal parameters and halitosis.

Ninety patients with periodontal disease participated for the study. Individuals were randomly selected to a control and test groups. At baseline, all subjects completed a questionnaire and carried out an examination. Standard periodontal outcome variables were assessed. For both groups, the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), pocket depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment level (CAL) scores were enrolled at baseline and after 30 days. Volatile sulphur compound (VSC) levels were evaluated by a Halimeter (Interscan Corp., Chatsworth, CA, USA) at baseline (T0), immediately after treatment (T1), and at 7 (T2), 14 (T3) and 30 days (T4).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD)	30 day	PD were evaluated: at the follow-up sessions by the investigator with by marking a point on a 10 mm periodontal probe.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
halimeter values	30 day	The changes of Volatile Sulphure Compaunds by were evaluated with Halimeter Device at the follow-up sessions by the investigator. The Halimeter reads out in parts-per-billion (ppb) of volatile sulfur compounds.
