Evaluation of Air Polishing With Ultrasonic Debridement in the Treatment

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical evaluation of using erythritol powder as air polishing with ultrasonic scaling and root planing in the treatment of initial periodontal pockets. This trial will be split-mouth design, in which each patient will receive traditional treatment (ultrasonic mechanical therapy and polishing) in one side, while the contralateral two quadrants of the jaws will be treated with erythritol powder by means of air polishing and ultrasonic scaling and root planing.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the study is to evaluate the usage of erythritol powder by means of air polishing in hand of undergraduate dental students as a single way to remove biofilm and the adjunctive application of ultrasonic piezo afterward for calculus removal and root planing only in the treatment of initial periodontal pockets. The sample size will be 15 patients. Initially, oral hygiene instructions with scaling and root planing will consist of the treatment phase. Each subject will be informed comprehensively about oral hygiene instructions using disclosing solution (such as erythrosine) and hand mirror. The participant will be shown modified bass technique and the proper usage of dental floss and appropriate interdental brushes. The control side will be treated with supra- and subgingival ultrasonic piezo scalers then supragingival polishing with rubber cup and a special fluoride containing paste as a traditional way of removal of plaque and calculus, while the test side, will be confined to erythritol powder by means of air polishing as the only way to remove ultrasonic piezo scalers. At the end of treatment, hand instruments may be used to ensure the smoothness 0f the teeth surfaces. Clinical measurements will be performed at baseline and at 2 weeks, 4 and 6 weeks for the plaque index and gingival indices, whereas probing will be performed only after 6 weeks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
