An interventional study of conventional gracey curettes and Vertically oscillating ultrasonic device in Chronic Periodontitis, sponsored by Universidad de Granada. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2013-09-18.
Sponsored by Universidad de Granada · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
In a clinical trial of 19 patients, 44 single-rooted teeth will be randomly assigned to one of four groups for: 1) no treatment, 2) manual root planing with curettes; 3) root planing with piezoelectric ultrasonic scraper [PU]; or 4) root planing with vertically oscillating ultrasonic device [VOU]. Post-treatment, the teeth will be extracted and their topography analyzed in 124 observations with white light confocal microscopy, measuring the roughness parameters Rp, Rv, Rt, Ra, Rq, Rku, and Rsk.
1,635 studies on the registry are indexed under Periodontitis; 327 are open to participants now.
