Study summary

This study is to verify the efficacy of tobacco cessation in patients with oral diseases; periodontitis, dental implant and oral mucosal diseases by a multicenter prospective trial. Tobacco cessation intervention is implemented for 12 weeks. During the tobacco cessation intervention for the subjects, attending doctors implement standard treatments for their oral diseases. Improvement of each disease is evaluated between smoking cessation intervention group and non-cessation intervention group.

Read the detailed description

It has been concluded that available evidence suggests that behavioral interventions for tobacco cessation conducted by oral health professionals incorporating an oral examination component in the dental office or community setting may increase tobacco abstinence rates among both cigarette smokers and smokeless tobacco users (Cochrane Database Syst Rev.6:CD005084.) However, efficacy of tobacco cessation for oral diseases by oral health professionals are not elucidated. There are few studies on tobacco cessation intervention by dentists but none in terms of reduction of oral diseases or further disease prevention. Association for the Japanese Academy of Maxillofacial Implants, Association for the Japanese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Association for the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology, Japanese Society of Oral Medicine, Japanese Society of Periodontology, Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology, Japanese Society for Oral Health, Japanese Society of Dentistry for Medically Compromised Patient and Japanese Society of Oral Oncology conduct a study to verify the efficacy of tobacco cessation in patients with oral diseases; periodontitis, dental implant and oral mucosal diseases by a multicenter prospective trial.

Criteria

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Current smokers with periodontitis; 30% or more of the teeth where periodontal pocket depth (PPD) is 4mm or more and 3 or more sites in 6mm or more of the PPD
  • Current smokers in patients about to receive implant placement
  • Current smokers with oral mucosal diseases clinically diagnosed for nicotine stomatitis, oral leukoplakia, erythroplakia and oral lichen planus

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Already having any cessation intervention
  • Periodontitis with having anti-inflammatory drug or use and have had periodontal treatment within 6 months
  • Oral mucosal diseases having had surgical resections or other interventional treatments
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Tobacco cessation intervention

    Tobacco cessation intervention is implemented for 12 weeks. The nicotine dependence status is evaluated by the FTND (Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence) test. The point 3 or more is regarded as a moderate or high tobacco dependence and determining a cessation intervention. During the tobacco cessation intervention for the subjects, attending doctors implement standard treatments for their oral diseases. Even if participants fail to abstain from smoking, the oral treatment is continued. In case of the use of the NRTs (nicotine patch and/or gum), the investigators supply it for 2 weeks as a free of charge, and later the subjects themselves purchase it as over the counter (OTC) drugs at a pharmacy.

    Other: Tobacco cessation intervention

  • No intervention
    Non-tobacco cessation intervention

    Those who do not intention to abstinence from smoking strongly and/or having less than 3 points in FTND test are allocated to non-tobacco cessation intervention group. The same treatment as the tobacco cessation intervention group is carried out for their oral diseases.

Interventions

  • OtherTobacco cessation intervention

    The nicotine dependence status is evaluated by the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence test; those who 3 or more score are eligible for the intervention. During the study, attending doctors implement a tobacco cessation intervention with standard treatments for above oral diseases. Even if the subjects failed to abstain from smoking, the treatment is continued. In case of the use of the nicotine replacement therapy, The investigators supply NRTs (nicotine patch or gum) for 2 weeks as a free of charge, and later the subjects themselves purchase it as over the counter (OTC) drugs at a pharmacy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pocket depth in peridontitis

    Pocket depth and attachment loss with or without surgical treatment

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 12 months

  2. Per-implant marginal bone loss

    Per-implant marginal bone loss by a standardized X-ray photo

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 12 months

  3. Size reduction of oral mucosal diseases

    Size reduction (major x minor axis /mm) at a predominant site for non-surgical group

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Tobacco abstinence rate

    Biochemical validation tests confirming for quit smoking is applied for all subjects. Measurements of expired carbon monoxide (CO) where the test is available are analyzed at each period. Otherwise cotinine levels of the saliva samples are analyzed by a semi-quantitative analysis by NicAlert™.

    Time frame: 3,6,12 and 24 months

  2. HPV-DNA detection (p16 & 18)

    The oral mucosa tissues are collected by buccal swab.

    Time frame: pre- and post-treatment (12 months)
