An observational study in Periodontitis, Calculus, Dental and Bone Loss, Alveolar, sponsored by University of Colorado, Denver. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-12-06.
Sponsored by University of Colorado, Denver · Observational
To compare the diagnostic accuracy of extra-oral x-rays with intra-oral x-rays, in contrast to clinically observed measurements, for the detection of calculus and bone loss of either the suprabony or infrabony types in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.
Approximately 40 individuals who are currently active patients at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine Graduate Periodontics Department. Intra-oral x-rays will be taken on examination, which is the standard of care. Patients who require periodontal surgery and have signed treatment plans to undergo the surgery will be asked to participate in the study. Extra-oral x-rays will be taken at that time, which is for research purpose. This is the same exposure as a panoramic x-ray, which is the standard of care to receive along with the intra-oral x-rays. Patients will be excluded if they have a recent panoramic x-ray.
