NCT07651579

Brief Summary

The objective of this single-center prospective study is to evaluate the impact of periodontal treatment on masticatory performance in patients with periodontitis. Participants will be asked to complete several questionnaires related to their oral health and quality of life. Functional masticatory tests and salivary flow measurements will also be performed.

  • Salivation

    Baseline (T0), T1 (T0 + 3 month), T2 (end of treatment if complementary treatments are required, assessed no later than 1 year after the start of the initial treatment)

  • Swallowing

    Baseline (T0), T1 (T0 + 3 month), T2 (end of treatment if complementary treatments are required, assessed no later than 1 year after the start of the initial treatment)

  • Periodontitis grade (Chicago Classification)

    Baseline (T0), T1 (T0 + 3 month), T2 (end of treatment if complementary treatments are required, assessed no later than 1 year after the start of the initial treatment)

  • Gingival recessions

    Baseline (T0), T1 (T0 + 3 month), T2 (end of treatment if complementary treatments are required, assessed no later than 1 year after the start of the initial treatment)

Study Arms (1)

Periodontisis

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients diagnosed with periodontitis will receive standard non-surgical periodontal treatment as part of routine care. Clinical and functional assessments will be performed at baseline (T0) and during follow-up visits (T1, T2) to evaluate changes in masticatory performance, salivary flow, and oral health-related quality of life.

Other: Functionnal test

Interventions

Administration of questionnaires, functional masticatory test, and saliva collection.
