Clinical Trial Summary

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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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	Baseline
Primary	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.	Baseline
Primary	DMFT - Decayed Missing Filled Teeth Index (WHO, 2013)	Sum of the decayed, missing, filled teeth.	Baseline
Primary	Mouth breathing	Assessment of the presence/absence of mouth breathing.	Baseline
