Timing of Re-evaluation After Steps I-II of Periodontal Therapy

NCT05892315 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Literature on non surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) shows lack of clarity in reporting information on re-evaluation timing and clinical response. If the re-evaluation was done shortly after NSPT, this is also likely to have an influence on the surgical treatment plan. The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the effect of re-evaluation timing at 1-3-6 months after NSPT in terms of pocket closure, probing pocket depth reduction, comprehensive treatment plan, and costs for the patient.

Conditions

  • Periodontitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Repeated subgingival instrumentation

Supragingival scaling will be performed at sites with plaque and subgingival scaling will be performed by the use of manual and ultrasonic instruments at pockets ≥ 4 mm with bleeding. Oral hygiene instructions will be reinforced. Patients will be instructed to use interdental brushes with appropriate size interdental brushes or dental floss when interdental embrasures will not allow for interdental brushing.
