Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of teeth deep cleaning or scaling and root planing (SRP) using a periodontal endoscope (Perioscopy®) versus traditional SRP using magnifying loupes for up to twelve months, utilizing a split mouth design.

Detailed Description

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

Twenty-five (25) patients were recruited for the study that exhibited mild to moderate periodontitis. SRP or deep cleaning was rendered by the same experienced hygienist, following random assignment of the left or right half of the mouth to either recieve deep cleaning by using a periodontal endoscope (Perioscopy®) or traditional deep cleaning using magnifying loupes. All the periodontal evaluations were done by the same periodontal resident at baseline, one month, three months, six months, and twelve months after deep cleaning.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Periodontal Endosccope

One randomly assigned side of the mouth received deep cleaning treatment with the operator using a periodontal endoscope or Perioscopy® for magnification

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Use of Periodontal Endoscope (Perioscopy®) to enhance visualization while performing teeth deep cleaning

Intervention Type DEVICE

Deep cleaning or scaling and root planing (SRP) using a Periodontal Endoscope or Perioscopy® for enhanced visualization, on teeth in one half of the mouth

Traditional Loupes

One randomly assigned side of the mouth received deep cleaning treatment with the operator using traditional loupe magnification

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Use of traditional loupes to enhance magnification to enhance visualization while performing teeth deep cleaning

Intervention Type DEVICE

Deep cleaning or scaling and root planing (SRP) using tradional loupes for enhanced visualization on teeth, in the other half of the mouth
