NCT05846139

Brief Summary

Aim: The presence of bacterial plaque is associated with the development of periodontal inflammation. The aim of this single-blind randomized clinical study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of two different agents in a staged approach for nonsurgical periodontal treatment in terms of clinical and patients related outcomes in a cohort of patients with periodontitis: NitrAdine® based disinfectant formula (PerioTabs®) vs Chlorhexidine 0.12 toothpaste and mouthwash 0.20. Material and methods: Patients with a diagnosis of periodontal disease (stage I-III) scheduled for non surgical periodontal treatment were randomly allocated to the preparatory home use of a chlorhexidine mouthwash or a NitrAdine® based brushing solution called PerioTabs® for 10-15 days. Active decontamination with ultrasonic scalers was performed after the completion of the preparation period. Clinical and patient-related outcomes were recorded at baseline, at the moment of professional intervention, and after 30 and 90 days from baseline.

    Between baseline and the active debridement which occurred 15 days later

Study Arms (2)

PerioTabs® brushing solution

EXPERIMENTAL

At baseline, patients were given instructions for the home use of PerioTabs® for daily gum and toothbrushing for 10 consecutive days, according to the product's directions for use. The procedure consisted of brushing the teeth and gums for 2 minutes in the evening during a 10-day period. After one week, one-stage full-mouth disinfection was performed with the use of ultrasonic devices on each quadrant. In addition, two cycles of 90 seconds ozone-therapy were carried out.

Combination Product: PerioTabs® brushing solution

Chlorhexidine 0.2% mouth rinse

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At baseline, patients were given instructions for the home use of toothbrush with chlorhexidine 0.12 % toothpaste for 15 days toothbrushing twice daily (morning and evening). Also, a chlorhexidine 0.2% mouth rinse had to be used every evening for the course of the 15 days. After two weeks, the one-stage full-mouth disinfection was performed in the same way as in Group 1.

Combination Product: Chlorhexidine 0.12 %

Interventions

PerioTabs® contains a non-antibiotic biofilm removal complex called NitrAdine®.Its anti-biofilm action is based on the combination of surfactant-induced protein denaturation and slow release of a non-toxic concentration of hypochlorite (0.02%).
