NCT05576142 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 2022-PEDORALFINDINGS
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to evaluate if there were differences in oral findings between patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma and a control group of health people.

Conditions

Allergic Rhinitis; Asthma in Children; Dental Caries; Periodontal Diseases

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• PSR - Periodontal Screening and Recording (Landry and Jean, 2002)

  Scoring criteria: * 0: Absence of clinical signs * 1: Bleeding on probing * 2: Supra and/or subgingival calculus and/or defective margins * 3: Periodontal pocket 4 mm to 5.5 nm deep (coloured band on probe partially visible) * 4: Periodontal pocket 6 mm deep (colored band no longer visible) * \*: Periodontal abnormalities present * X: Sextant absent or fewer than 2 teeth

  Baseline

• PCR - Plaque Control Record (O' Leary et al., 1972)

  % assessment of the amount of plaque on dental surfaces; it is detected on 4 surfaces: distal, mesial, vestibular, lingual / palatal. The number of sites with plaque is divided by the total number of sites available in the mouth and multiplied by 100. Results indicate the index as a percentage.

  Baseline

• DMFT - Decayed Missing Filled Teeth Index (WHO, 2013)

  Sum of the decayed, missing, filled teeth.

  Baseline

• Mouth breathing

  Assessment of the presence/absence of mouth breathing.
