About this study

Official title: The Effect of Daily Dietary Intake of Dried Juice Concentrates of Fruit, Vegetables and Berries (Juice Plus+) Upon Periodontal Outcomes in Chronic Periodontitis: A Multicentre Randomised Controlled Trial

The objective of this study is to determine whether enhanced micronutrient intake in the form of fruit, vegetable and berry juice powder (FVB) concentrate, improves clinical outcomes in chronic periodontitis patients prior to standard non-surgical treatment.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to determine whether enhanced micronutrient intake in the form of fruit, vegetable and berry juice powder (FVB) concentrate, improves clinical outcomes in chronic periodontitis patients prior to non-surgical treatment. In addition, the effects of supplementation prior to and following standard non-surgical management will be assessed, relative to a placebo supplemented group.

The investigators hypothesize that 3-months of nutritional support using this FVB will result in additional reductions in marginal gingival inflammation (bleeding) and additional reductions in probing pocket depth (mean \& cumulative), over and above any placebo-related or behavioral effect. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that 3-months of nutritional support prior to a standard non-surgical therapy in conjunction with a continuation of the nutritional support for 3 months will result in further additional reductions in marginal gingival inflammation and probing pocket depth, over and above any placebo-related or behavioral effect following standard non-surgical therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Juice plus+Dietary supplement

    Subjects in active group will be supplemented with Juice plus+ capsules (3 in the morning and 3 in the evening, for 3 months)

  • Placebo non active capsulesDietary supplement

    Subjects will take non-active placebo capsules (3 in the morning and 3 in the evening, for 3 months)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in clinical parameters

    The primary outcomes will be differences in the changes in the below parameters at 3-months post-supplementation between test and placebo groups:

    • % sites with marginal bleeding on probing (BOP) from baseline.
    • Probing pocket depth reductions (mm) from baseline (expressed as reductions in mean and also cumulative pocket depth).

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Changes in clinical parameters

    The primary outcomes will be differences in the changes in the parameters listed below at 6 months (3 months post supplementation + 3 months post treatment)in test and placebo groups

    % sites with marginal BOP from baseline. Probing pocket depth reductions (mm) from baseline (expressed as reductions in mean and also cumulative pocket depth).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical and biochemical changes

    Secondary outcome measures will be clinical and biochemical and include differences in the changes in the below between test and placebo groups:

    • Patient outcomes - oral health quality of life
    • Clinical outcomes - % sites BOP from pocket base from baseline, clinical attachment level (CAL) measures (mm), recession (mm), gingival redness (MGI).
    • Biochemical outcomes in plasma -carbonyls, 8OHdG (from buffy coats), isoprostanes, vitamin C, beta-carotene

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Clinical and biochemical changes

    Secondary outcome measures will be clinical and biochemical and include differences in the changes in the below between test and placebo groups:

    Patient outcomes - oral health quality of life Clinical outcomes - % sites BOP from pocket base from baseline, CAL measures (mm), recession (mm), gingival redness (MGI).

    Biochemical outcomes in plasma -carbonyls, 8OHdG (from buffy coats), isoprostanes, vitamin C, beta-carotene

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Juice plus+ in people with Periodontitis, run by Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS at 3 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in clinical parameters (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Mar 2019.
