Plaque Clinical Trial - Regular Antibacterial Photodynamic Therapy on Oral

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Lumoral device on oral hygiene, inflammatory load, and dryness of mouth in elderly 24-hour care residents. The second aim is to investigate the usefulness and benefits of the aMMP-8 chair-side test and the Lumoral device in improving the oral hygiene of elderly people. In addition, the study will investigate the usability of Lumoral assessed by different care professionals to evaluate the need for oral care and plaque control procedures in elderly residents.

Clinical Trial Description

The dental condition of elderly care customers is often poor. Cavities and dental connective tissue disease are widespread in people over 75 and older. Untreated oral infections in patients or residents living in institutional care predispose to pneumonia, among other complications. Chronic oral infectious diseases, and sometimes fatal complications, are preventable with good oral hygiene. As people get older, their ability to function deteriorates, and the elderly, especially those living in round-the-clock care, have been found to have shortcomings in maintaining oral hygiene. Only a small part of the population had clean teeth, and the worse the level of oral hygiene, the worse the quality of life. Regular cleaning of the mouth and teeth from plaque is still the most important thing for keeping your mouth healthy. Unfortunately, this is not always the case with round-the-clock care, and new practices are needed to improve oral hygiene. The use of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibacterial blue light has been studied and found to reduce the amount of plaque in the mouth. The Lumoral device is a CE-marked home medical device that has been shown to be effective in reducing the development of plaque and harmful bacteria in the plaque. The performance of the device is based on the aPDT method, in which the photosensitive substance in the Lumorinse mouthwash attaches to the bacterial coating and is activated as an antibacterial by light. The antibacterial effect is applied directly to the plaque, reducing the impact on the normal oral flora. Preliminary studies have found that the method reduces inflammatory factors in periodontitis. ;

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.
