About this study

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between initial probing depth (IPD) and changes in clinical parameters following non-surgical periodontal treatment (NPT) in chronic periodontitis patients.

Material and Methods: A total of 1672 periodontal pockets having 3 mm≤IPD≤9 mm in 15 chronic periodontitis patients were included. NPT consisting of oral hygiene instructions, scaling and root planing was applied in two sessions. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level, gingival recession (GR) were measured before and eight weeks after treatment. Pocket sites were grouped according to their IPD and root number of teeth as single- or multi-rooted.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PatientsOtherNon-surgical periodontal treatment has performed to patients. Scaling and root planing were performed with Gracey curettes until the operator feels that root surface is clean, hard and smooth.
Receives: Device: Gracey Curettes

What is being measured

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

  1. Probing Depth

    Probing depth is defined as the distance from the free gingival margin to the bottom of the periodontal pocket.

    Measured: 8 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical attachment level

    Clinical attachment level is defined as the distance from the cementoenamel junction to the bottom of the periodontal pocket

    Measured: 8 week

  2. Gingival recession

    Gingival recession is defined as the distance from cementoenamel junction to free gingival margin.

    Measured: 8 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gracey Curettes in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Marmara University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 10 Aug 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Probing Depth (time frame: 8 week). 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 10 Aug 2016.
