The Use of Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for Home Oral Care in Patients Undergoing Periodontal Therapy

A Comparison Between Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse Versus Chlorhexidine 0,2% Toothpaste (Curasept Trattamento Rigenerante) for Domiciliary Oral Care in Periodontal Patients.

This is a split-mouth randomized clinical trial in which a new domiciliary oral care protocol with Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse is evaluated in periodontal patients.

This is a split-mouth randomized clinical trial that aims to suggest an innovative protocol for domiciliary oral care of periodontal patients. In details, home use of Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse is proposed as a support of professional hygiene sessions. Patients that respond to the eligibility criteria and that sign the informed consent are recruited for periodontal therapy.The first professional hygiene session is performed at the baseline (T0); the following ones will be performed after 3 (T1) and 6 months (T2) from the baseline. In each session, periodontal indices of inflammation are detected; then, subgingival removal of plaque and tartar is performed, followed by glycine air-flow application in periodontal pockets. A microbiological test is perfomed in order to detect red and orange complex bacteria. At this time, patients are randomly allocated into two groups: Trial Group: domiciliary oral hygiene with Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse twice a day until T2 session. Control Group: home oral hygiene with Curasept Toothpaste (0,2% Chlorhexidine) twice a day until T2 session. At the end of T1 and T2 professional session, a satisfaction survey about Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse will ben given to the patients.

This is a study in which patients are divided into two groups: Trial Group: professional dental hygiene at T0, T1 and T2 + Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for domiciliary oral care twice a day until T2; Control Group: professional dental hygiene at T0, T1 and T2 + Curasept Toothpaste with chlorhexidine 0,2% twice a day until T2.

Domiciliary oral hygiene with Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste in association with Peribioma Mousse twice a day until T2 session.

Patients will use Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for domiciliary oral hygiene twice a day until T2 session.

Patients will use Curasept Toothpaste (chlorhexidine 0,2%) for domiciliary oral hygiene twice a day until T2 session.

Site-specific assessment of the presence or absence of gum bleeding after the insertion of the periodontal probe for the detection of PPD, detected on 6 sites. Percentage of sites with bleeding on probing determines the BOP%.

Scoring criteria: 0 = no bleeding; 1 = punctiform bleeding in the site of probing; 2 = slightly extended bleeding in the site of probing; 3 = bleeding in more than a half of gingival margin; 4 = gingival border fully covered by blood.

Scoring criteria: 0 = healthy looking papillary and marginal gingiva, no bleeding on probing; 1 = healthy looking gingiva, with bleeding on probing; 2 = bleeding on probing, change in color, no edema; 3 = bleeding on probing, change in color, slight edema; 4 = bleeding on probing, change in color, obvious edema; 5 = spontaneous bleeding, change in color, marked edema.

Scoring criteria: 0 = normal gingiva. 1 = mild inflammation, edema and swelling; no bleeding. 2 = moderate inflammation with edema, swelling and bleeding on probing. 3 = severe inflammation with marked edema, redness tissues, ulceration and spontaneous bleeding.

Evaluation (in mm) of the depth of the gingival sulcus, through a millimeter periodontal probe; it is detected from the gingival margin to the bottom of the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket, evaluated at 6 sites.

Measurement (in mm) of the position of the gingival margin in relation to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ).

Scoring criteria: 0 = no plaque; 1 = thin plaque layer at the gingival margin, only detectable by scraping with a probe; 2 = moderate layer of plaque along the gingival margin; interdental spaces free, but plaque is visible to the naked eye; 3 = abundant plaque along the gingival margin; interdental spaces filled with plaque.

Following application of disclosing, a simple yes/no decision is made concerning whether the interproximal surfaces are covered by plaque (+) or not (-). The proportion of plaque-covered interproximal spaces is expressed as a percentage. Usually, in a given quadrant the interproximal spaces are scored from only one aspect (i.e. from the facial - Q2 and Q4 - or from the oral aspect - Q1 and Q3).

Inclusion Criteria: Presence of periodontal disease according to the recent 2017 classification (2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions): severity grade II-III and complexity grade I-II. Presence of bilateral periodontal probes, for at least one tooth per side up to 20 elements with pathologic probes). Patients' good compliance Exclusion Criteria: Patients with cardiac pacemaker Patients suffering from neurological disorders Patients suffering from psychological disorders Pregnant women
