About this study

The presence of periodontal diseases in patients has been associated to a worsened quality of life overall. Many different indices have been proposed over time in order to evaluate patient's centred outcomes. In particular, the most thorough questionnaire proposed so far is the Oral Health Impact Profile 49 (OHIP-49), which is composed of 49 questions. Despite its validity being unquestionable, OHIP-49 was found to be too time-consuming for the clinical scenario and, therefore, its shortened 14-question version has been proposed. A more in-depth knowledge of how these parameters change before and after periodontal treatment could enable clinicians to tailor the treatment plan according to the patients' needs.

What participants receive

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

  • QuestionnairesOther

    Patients will be asked two sets of questions:

    • questionnaire about their perception of periodontal disease (Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire; 9 questions, answers will be registered on a scale of 0 to 10);
    • Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire.

    All these two sets of questions will be asked before and after non surgical periodontal therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ) before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment

    Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire consists of 9 questions, each one evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 90). Higher scores mean a higher patient's perception of the disease (higher scores mean worse outcome).

    Measured: The questionnaire will be carried out at baseline and re-evaluation (3 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment). The change in the Brief IPQ values at baseline and after 3 months will be considered as the primary outcome measure.

  2. Change in Oral Health Impact Profile 14 before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment

    14 questions about the impact of oral health on the quality of life; each question will be evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5 (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 70). Higher scores mean that patient's oral health impacts more significantly on their quality of life (higher scores, worse outcomes).

    Measured: The questionnaire will be carried out at baseline and re-evaluation (3 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment). The change in the OHIP-14 values at baseline and after 3 months will be considered as the primary outcome measure.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Full Mouth Bleeding Score (FMBS) before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment

    Full Mouth Bleeding Score will be calculated as the percentage of sites with Bleeding on Probing on the total number of sites (percentage ranging between 0% and 100%). Higher scores of FMBS mean more periodontal inflammation and therefore worse oral health (higher scores of FMBS, worse outcomes).

    Measured: FMBS will be calculated at baseline and re-evaluation (3 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment). The change in the FMBS at baseline and after 3 months will be considered as the secondary outcome measure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis, run by University of Siena at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 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 24 Dec 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

Change in Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ) before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment (time frame: The questionnaire will be carried out at baseline and re-evaluation (3 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment). The change in the Brief IPQ values at baseline and after 3 months will be considered as the primary outcome measure.). 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 24 Dec 2020.
