Conditions
Periodontitis
Interventions
Procedure: Scaling and root planing + "Perisolv" +"Hyadent BG" gels
Procedure: Scaling and root planing
Registration Number
NCT04662216
Lead Sponsor
Lithuanian University of Health Sciences
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate clinical and microbiological effects of subgingival application of chloramine (Perisolv) and hyaluronic acid (Hyadent BG) gels as adjuncts to scaling and root planing in non-surgical periodontitis treatment.

Detailed Description

Objectives:

1. To evaluate if additional subgingival delivery of chloramine and hyaluronic acid gels would enhance clinical outcomes of scaling and root planing in periodontitis patients.

2. To assess if additional subgingival delivery of chloramine and hyaluronic acid gels would reduce total counts of periodontopathogenic bacteria compared to scaling and root planing alone.

The treatment will consist of two treatment modalities: (1) Control group - full mouth scaling and root planing (SRP) (2) Test group - full mouth SRP + "Perisolv"+ Hyadent BG gels.

The periodontal treatment will be performed in one session without time restrictions. Under local anesthesia, an experienced operator, will perform a full mouth subgingival scaling and root planing with an ultrasonic device and Gracey curettes. Afterwards, all teeth will be polished using a low-abrasive paste.

Teeth in the test group (all teeth with PD ≥ 5 mm) will adjunctively be treated with chloramine gel (Perisolv), which will be inserted into periodontal pockets before and during SRP (2 times). The nozzle will be placed in the pocket mesially, lingually, distally and bucally. Teeth will be polished and all treated pockets will be filled with hyaluronic acid gel.

Teeth in control group will receive SRP + polishing

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Probing depth (PD) reduction6 months

PD (probing depth): the distance (mm) between the gingival margin and the bottom of the sulcus/pocket

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bleeding on probing (BOP)6 months

BOP (bleeding on probing): presence (+) or absence (-) of bleeding within 15s after probing the pocket (%).

Clinical attachment level (CAL)6 months

CAL (clinical attachment level): will be calculated for each site as the sum of PD and the gingival recession/overgrowth.

Plaque Index (PI)6 months

PI (Plaque index): presence of dental plaque along the mucosal margin at 6 sites of the implant presence (+) or absence (-).

Reduction of total counts of periodontopathogenic bacteria6 months

Subgingival plaque samples will be analyzed for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia Treponema denticola and Prevotella intermedia
