NCT02368678

Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether short-term full mouth disinfection protocol could have a greater reduction in the levels of halitosis and volatile sulfur compound or not, when compared to quadrant-wise scaling and root planing

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in Halitosis at 3 months

    Reduction in the number of patients with halitosis and improvement regarding halitosis severity

    Baseline and 90 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in clinical attachment level at 3 months

    Baseline and 90 days

Study Arms (2)

Scaling and Root Planning (SRP)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Scaling and root planing (SRP) (n=15): the traditional mechanical periodontal therapy consisting of quadrant-wise (30 min. per quadrant) scaling and root planning performed at weekly sessions (one or two weeks of interval between session) and completed within 2 months.

Procedure: Scaling and Root Planning (SRP)

Full Mouth Scaling (FMS)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Full mouth scaling (FMS) (n=15): the alternative mechanical periodontal therapy consisting of full-mouth scaling and root planning completed in a single stage within 24 hours; i.e two sessions (60 min. per session) in two consecutive days.

Procedure: Full Mouth Scaling (FMS)

Interventions

Scaling and Root Planing (n=15): quadrant-wise scaling and root planing performed within four weekly session (30 min. per quadrant). Oral malodor was measured by organoleptic test and Oral Chroma (Abilit, Osaka Japan) prior to the oral examination, at Baseline and also at 90 days after treatment. Clinical monitoring and tongue coating index were taken at these same times. Oral hygiene instructions were given to all participants.
