About this study

Official title: Oral Findings in Pediatric Patients With Allergic Rhinitis and/or Asthma: a Cohort Study

The aim of the study was to evaluate if there were differences in oral findings between patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma and a control group of health people.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study was to evaluate if there were differences in oral findings between patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma and a control group of health people. At the oral evaluation, the following indexes were calculated: PSR, Periodontal Screening and Recording; PI, Plaque Control Record and DMFT, Decayed Missing Filled Teeth Index. Absence or presence of mouth breathing was also recorded. Linear regressions were calculated to compare the oral findings with gravity of allergic rhinitis, to asthma compensation and to asthma treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. PSR - Periodontal Screening and Recording (Landry and Jean, 2002)

    Scoring criteria:

    • 0: Absence of clinical signs
    • 1: Bleeding on probing
    • 2: Supra and/or subgingival calculus and/or defective margins
    • 3: Periodontal pocket 4 mm to 5.5 nm deep (coloured band on probe partially visible)
    • 4: Periodontal pocket 6 mm deep (colored band no longer visible)
    • *: Periodontal abnormalities present
    • X: Sextant absent or fewer than 2 teeth

    Measured: Baseline

  2. PCR - Plaque Control Record (O' Leary et al., 1972)

    % assessment of the amount of plaque on dental surfaces; it is detected on 4 surfaces: distal, mesial, vestibular, lingual / palatal. The number of sites with plaque is divided by the total number of sites available in the mouth and multiplied by 100. Results indicate the index as a percentage.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. DMFT - Decayed Missing Filled Teeth Index (WHO, 2013)

    Sum of the decayed, missing, filled teeth.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Mouth breathing

    Assessment of the presence/absence of mouth breathing.

    Measured: Baseline

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?

PSR - Periodontal Screening and Recording (Landry and Jean, 2002) (time frame: Baseline). 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?
