About this study

This is a pilot study. The investigators hypothesize that the peri-implant soft tissue response to de novo plaque accumulation is similar to that of normal gingival tissue in the same subjects.

The investigators propose to conduct a controlled clinical trial to evaluate peri-implant soft tissue response to de novo plaque accumulation in comparison to the response of gingival tissue in the same subjects

What is being measured

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

  1. Gingival Crevicular fluid volume collected at baseline and weekly up to 9 weeks

    The gingival crevicular fluid ( GCF) volume is assessed using Periotron unit. The GCF volume is strongly correlated with peri-implant mucosa and gingival inflammation.

    Measured: 9 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing interruption of oral hygiene in people with Peri-implant Mucositis and Gingivitis, run by UConn Health at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 11 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 26 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. 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?

Gingival Crevicular fluid volume collected at baseline and weekly up to 9 weeks (time frame: 9 weeks). 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 26 Apr 2017.
