No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The intent of this study is to determine the effect of a smartphone application used in conjunction with interproximal cleaning on localized, inflamed periodontal pockets of periodontal maintenance patients. The hypothesis to be tested is that the use of the smartphone application will decrease clinical parameters of inflammation (probing depths, bleeding on probing) as well as the pro-inflammatory biomarker (IL-1B) as determined in gingival crevicular fluid sampling.
