Study Comparing the Effectiveness of Two Different Interdental Brushes in Adults with Periodontal Disease Over 4 Weeks

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate how well a tested interdental brush works compared to other interdental brushes in adults with periodontal disease. The study focuses on adults aged 18 to 80 years who have active generalized periodontal disease. It is a randomized, split-mouth study conducted at a single center lasting about 4 weeks. Participants will use the tested interdental brush on one side of their mouth and a comparative interdental brush on the opposite side. Both brushes are used twice a day for the full 4 weeks. The study includes three visits a pre-inclusion visit for information and eligibility check, an inclusion visit for randomization and start of brush use, and an end-of-study visit roughly one month later. During the study, researchers will measure changes in dental plaque, gingival bleeding, and pocket depth from the start to the end of the study. Participants will also assess their interdental hygiene and complete a questionnaire on acceptability of the brushes. Adverse events will be recorded throughout. The total study duration for participants is about one month with close monitoring.
