What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical atachment level baseline

    Calculation as distance in millimeters from cement-enamel junction to the bottom of the pocket by Williams periodontal probe

    Measured: baseline (before treatment)

  2. Plaque index baseline

    As described by Silness\&Löe 1964; The measurement of the state of oral hygiene by Silness-Löe plaque index is based on recording both soft debris and mineralized deposits on the following teeth. Each of the four surfaces of the teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial and distal) is given a score from 0-3.

    Scores 0: No plaque. scores 1: A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen in situ only after application of disclosing solution or by using the probe on the tooth surface.

    scores 2: Moderate accumulation of soft deposit s within the gingival pocket, or the tooth and gingival margin which can be seen with the naked eye.

    scores 3: Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin.

    score 0 considered good oral hygiene, score 3 bad oral hygiene habits. plaque index for a tooth=scores from 4 areas/4 plaque index individiual= scores from 28 tooth/28

    Measured: baseline (before treatment)

  3. Gingival index baseline

    As described by Löe\&Silness 1963; The bleeding is assessed by probing gently along the wall of soft tissue of the gingival sulcus. Each of the four surfaces of the teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial and distal) is given a score from 0-3.

    score 0 - Normal, healthy gingival with sharp, non-inflamed margins. score 1 - Marginal gingivitis with minimal inflammation and edema at the free gingival. No bleeding on probing.

    score 2 - Moderate gingivitis with a wider band of inflammation and bleeding upon probing.

    score 3 - Advanced gingivitis with inflammation clinically reaching the mucogingival junction usually with ulceration.

    score 0 considered healty gingiva, score 3 assesed advanced gingival disease. gingival index for a tooth=scores from 4 areas/4 gingival index individiual= scores from 28 tooth/28

    Measured: baseline (before treatment)

  4. Bleeding on probing baseline

    As described by Ainamo\&Bay 1975; The index is performed through gentle probing of the orifice of the gingival crevice. If bleeding occurs within 10 seconds a positive finding is recorded and the number of positive sites is recorded and then expressed as a percentage of the number of sites examined.

    bleeding present (+) absent (-) bleeding surface/all surface *100=% bleeding absent recording is equivalent to gingival index scores 0\&1. bleeding present recording is equivalent to gingival index score 2\&3.

    • 0: no bleeding on probing, healty gingiva
    • 100: all gingiva bleeding on probing; diseased gingiva.

    Measured: baseline (before treatment)

  5. Probing of depth baseline

    Measurement to the nearest millimeter from the gingival margin to the base of the clinical pocket by Williams periodontal probe

    Measured: baseline (before treatment)

  6. Biochemical outcomes baseline

    In this study, biochemical parametres including IL-1B, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-a, MMP-9 were measured (pg/ml) by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) measured (pg/ml) by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) methods on Gingival Crevicular Fluid at baseline.

    Measured: baseline (before treatment)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Clinical attachment level after 8 weeks

    Calculation as distance in millimeters from cement-enamel junction to the bottom of the pocket by Williams periodontal probe

    Measured: 8 weeks after treatment

  2. Plaque index after 8 weeks

    As described by Silness\&Löe 1964; The measurement of the state of oral hygiene by Silness-Löe plaque index is based on recording both soft debris and mineralized deposits on the following teeth. Each of the four surfaces of the teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial and distal) is given a score from 0-3.

    Scores 0: No plaque scores 1: A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen in situ only after application of disclosing solution or by using the probe on the tooth surface.

    score 0 considered good oral hygiene, score 3 bad oral hygiene habits. plaque index for a tooth=scores from 4 areas/4 plaque index individiual= scores from 28 tooth/28

    Measured: 8 weeks after treatment

  3. Gingival index after 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ozone in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Ataturk University.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 15 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Clinical atachment level baseline (time frame: baseline (before treatment)). The study lists 6 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 15 Mar 2019.
