Salivary Inflammatory Biomarkers: Predictors & Comparative Effects of Sonicare/Elite-Flexcare in Stages of Perio Disease

Inflammation Clinical Trial

Official title:
Studies of Salivary Inflammatory Biomarkers During Biofilm Overgrowth: Confirmation of Predictors and Comparative Effects of Sonicare/Elite-Flexcare in Various Stages of Periodontal Disease

Clinical Trial Summary

This research study has 2 aims. One aim is to see if saliva testing can show if a person has healthy gum tissue, gingivitis, or one of three degrees of periodontitis - mild, moderate, or severe. The second aim is to examine the effect of the Sonicare Elite/Flexcare toothbrush on periodontitis.

Clinical Trial Description

Randomized controlled trial to determine clinical and inflammatory benefits of Sonicare Flexcare tooth brushing following experimental induction of biofilm overgrowth in various periodontal conditions.

This research study has both a Diagnostic Aim and a Treatment Aim. Aim #1 is to examine the utility of candidate inflammatory biomarkers within saliva to discriminate between health, gingivitis, mild, moderate and severe periodontis; and to discriminate between active versus inactive states of periodontal disease to see if these basal levels can predict the clinical response to biofilm overgrowth among various periodontal conditions; Aim #2 is to extend the claim of the anti-inflammatory and anti-infective efficacy of the Sonicare/Elite-Flexcare as compared to manual brushing to include 4 levels of periodontal disease [BGI-G, P1, P2 and P3].

The devices used in this study are subject only to Class I (general controls) and considered exempt from the premarket notification procedures and not subject to section 510(k), 515, or 520(m,) of the FDC Act in order to be legally marketed. Thus, the study does not meet the definition of an Applicable Clinical Trial. ;
