Trial summary

Periodontal disease is a gum infection caused by plaque on teeth containing both bacteria and calculus (hard) deposits. These need to be removed on a regular basis to maintain gum health and to prevent teeth weakening. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Cyanoacrylate (PeriAcryl®90 HV) in Its Adhesive Post-Operative Properties on Periodontal Wound Healing and Patient Discomfort After Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial

Periodontal disease is a gum infection caused by plaque on teeth containing both bacteria and calculus (hard) deposits. These need to be removed on a regular basis to maintain gum health and to prevent teeth weakening. A routine cleaning procedure, scaling/root planing, is accompanied with post-operative soft tissue tenderness and teeth sensitivity making oral hygiene maintenance difficult during wound healing. The need for novel therapeutic approaches, such as cyanoacrylate adhesives, has been identified. It has been hypothesized that its application may provide comfort and assist patients with their daily oral self-care procedures following teeth cleaning.

Read the detailed description

Hypothesis: The supra-gingival marginal application of cyanoacrylate adhesive will promote periodontal wound healing and prevent the increase of sensitivity of hard (teeth) and soft (gingiva) tissues following non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).

This pilot study involves a small number of participants, and while it is not designed to prove causation, it will evaluate safety and efficacy. If clinical results are positive, these data may be used to determine sample and power needs for larger studies.

With enhanced post-operative comfort, the patient's ability to disrupt biofilm and maintain optimal daily oral self-care can be achieved. Biofilm disruption is paramount to achieving periodontal health. Specifically, the adjunctive placement of an adhesive dressing may reduce biofilm accumulation that is associated with periodontal inflammation. This novel application could improve the patient's oral and thus overall health.

The present pilot trial aims to explore the therapeutic effectiveness of a cyanoacrylate adhesive (PeriAcryl®90 HV) in reducing patient-reported outcomes related to discomfort and sensitivity post NSPT, examine their potential positive effects on periodontal wound healing as well as recording any potential side-effects that may have been experienced by the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevention of increased post-operative discomfort post placement of cyanoacrylate adhesive measured by Visual Analogue Scale

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  2. Change in clinical attachment levels (CAL) after NSPT with adjunctive placement of cyanoacrylate adhesive

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  3. Prevention of increased hypersensitivity (hard and soft dental tissues) after NSPT post placement of cyanoacrylate adhesive measured by Visual Analogue Scale

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  4. Continued relief post placement of cyanoacrylate adhesive measured by Visual Analogue Scale

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Subjects' compliance to having the cyanoacrylate adhesive post-operatively by interview and tabulation of patient-reported outcomes

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  2. Number of adverse reactions to the placement of cyanoacrylate adhesive at the supra-gingival margin

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  3. Change in probing pocket depth (PD)

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  4. Change in bleeding on probing (BOP)

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  5. Change in plaque scores

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

  6. Subjects' perception of having the cyanoacrylate adhesive post-operatively by interview and tabulation of patient-reported outcomes

    Measured: after 6-8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing PeriAcryl®90 HV in people with Periodontal Disease and Tissue Adhesive, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2016. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Penny Hatzimanolakis, DipDH, BDSc, MSc, RDH (604 827 0690, penny@dentistry.ubc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevention of increased post-operative discomfort post placement of cyanoacrylate adhesive measured by Visual Analogue Scale (time frame: after 6-8 weeks). The study lists 4 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 7 Jul 2016.
