Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Approximately 40 individuals who are currently active patients at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine Graduate Periodontics Department. Intra-oral x-rays will be taken on examination, which is the standard of care. Patients who require periodontal surgery and have signed treatment plans to undergo the surgery will be asked to participate in the study. Extra-oral x-rays will be taken at that time, which is for research purpose. This is the same exposure as a panoramic x-ray, which is the standard of care to receive along with the intra-oral x-rays. Patients will be excluded if they have a recent panoramic x-ray.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be active patients of record at CU School of Dental Medicine
  • Patients will have an active treatment plan for periodontal open flap surgery
  • Patients will be classified as either ASA I or ASA II
  • Patients must have periodontal probing depths >/= 5mm and radiographic sings of marginal bone loss (supra or infra bony)

Who cannot join

  • Less than 18 years of age
  • ASA III or above
  • Emergency patients
  • Pregnant patients
  • Patients who are not patients of record at the CU School of Dental Medicine
  • Patients with a recent panoramic radiograph that contraindicates the need for new imaging in the form of extra-oral bitewings

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiographic evidence of calculus

    Radiographic evidence of calculus

    Measured: Baseline - Yes or No

  2. Radiographic measure of alveolar bone loss

    Radiographic measure (mm) of alveolar bone loss, as measured from the Cemento-enamel-junction to base of defect

    Measured: Baseline - measured in mm

  3. Clinical evidence of calculus

    Clinical evidence of calculus

    Measured: Baseline - Yes or No

  4. Clinical measure of alveolar bone loss

    Clinical measure (mm) of alveolar bone loss, as measured from Cemento-enamel-junction to base of defect using a periodontal probe

    Measured: Baseline - measured in mm

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis and Calculus, Dental, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 6 Dec 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact William Carter, DDS (7065409669, william.carter@cuanschutz.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Radiographic evidence of calculus (time frame: Baseline - Yes or No). 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 6 Dec 2023.
