Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A clinical trial to assess the effect of a Zinc-L-Carnosine-based mouth rinse on periodontal tissues and pain after scaling and root planing

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized, double blind, 3 group parallel study with random allocation of 75 patients to any of three groups; Zinc-L-Carnosine-based mouth rinse, Chlorhexidine mouth rinse and placebo (water) control. Three days after professional oral hygiene, which aimed at the normalization of the periodontal index, the primary (HI, VAS) and secondary (mSBI; FMPS; VMI; SI) outcomes of the study are measured to obtain baseline information, and then scaling and root planing are carried out.

The participants will be advised to follow their regular oral hygiene procedures (tooth brushing) in addition to the allocated mouth rinse. They will be examined again for primary and secondary outcomes at 7 and 21 days.

Clinical evaluation:

Clinical examination of each participant will be done by a single examiner using the previously described VAS scale and a UNC periodontal probe (No. 5 explorer Hu-Friedy, Chicago, Ill). In addition to these indices, each subject will be asked to report any adverse events they have encountered during the experiment.
