Study Summary

This trial is testing whether the use of a videoscope to improve visualization of the surgical field during minimally invasive surgery for periodontitis results in better clinical and radiographic outcomes compared to standard minimally invasive surgery and guided tissue regeneration.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for systemically healthy adults aged 18-70 with severe chronic periodontitis, evidenced by specific dental measurements and radiographs. Candidates must have good oral hygiene (plaque scores ≤20%) and be English-speaking to follow study procedures. Excluded are pregnant women, smokers, those on certain medications or with systemic disorders affecting healing, and individuals with non-isolated gum disease or certain dental restorations.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if using a videoscope during minimally invasive surgery improves outcomes in treating severe gum disease compared to standard methods. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: videoscope-assisted surgery (test), traditional minimally invasive surgery (control 1), or guided tissue regeneration (control 2). Outcomes will be measured through digital radiographs and fluid analysis over a year.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While the document does not specify side effects, typical risks of periodontal surgeries may include discomfort, swelling, bleeding, infection risk at the surgical site, temporary increased tooth sensitivity or mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there a current call for individuals to join the trial?

"According to the clinicaltrials.gov listing, this trial is actively seeking participants since first posting on May 1st 2022 and last updated 24th of that same month."

Answered by AI

Who is the ideal candidate for this clinical research?

"This clinical trial is searching for 50 English-speaking individuals, aged 18 to 70 years old, that have been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. Eligible participants must meet the following criteria: be of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I or II health rating; present a single or multirooted tooth with residual interproximal bony defect featuring probing depths (PD) ≥ 6 mm, clinical attachment loss (CAL) ≥ 6mm and bleeding upon probing (BOP); display >2mm width attached gingiva on radiographs taken within 2 years of enrolment; display plaque score ≤20%;"

Answered by AI

How many participants will be enrolled in this research trial?

"Affirmative. According to the information on clinicaltrials.gov, this investigation is currently seeking participants with its first post dating back to May 1st 2022 and its most recent edit occurring on May 24th 2022. In total, 50 test subjects need to be recruited from one location."

Answered by AI

Is the age of 55 or older a prerequisite to partake in this investigation?

"According to the given inclusion criteria, only those between 18 and 70 years old can take part in this experiment. For minors and senior citizens there are alternative clinical trials with 4 studies for under-18s and 71 for people over 65."
