Treatment of Advanced Periodontitis With a Chitosan Brush and a Chitosan Gel (Chitosangel)
Periodontitis, Periodontal Pocket, Periodontal Diseases
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Periodontitis focused on measuring Periodontitis, Periodontal disease, Periodontal pocket
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with at least 3 teeth but less than 8 teeth with advanced periodontal attachment loss. Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) ≥5 mm, probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥5mm and ≤8 mm and inflammation as demonstrated by a modified Bleeding on Probing (BoP) grade 2 (line) or 3 ("spontaneous"). Exclusion criteria: Ongoing radiotherapy, ongoing chemotherapy, pregnant or nursing patients, prosthetic factors making access to clinical measurements impossible Poor oral hygiene with plaque at >20% of the surfaces Periodontal pockets reaching to the apex of teeth. Teeth with active peri-apical pathology Teeth with root resorption as seen on radiographs Teeth with prosthodontic technical complications should be excluded or treated before inclusion (e.g., overhangs, open contacts with food impaction) Teeth with pockets from other reasons than periodontal disease Teeth with traumatic occlusion should be excluded or treated before inclusion (i.e., fremitus) Patients diagnosed with Periodontal disease grade C i.e., rapid rate of progression Sites in direct proximity with site(s) where patient places snuff (Copenhagen) will be excluded
