About
Cervitec, a chlorhexidine based varnished has been proven to reduce caries risk in younger populations. This study wants to investigate if the use of this product would reduce the risk of losing abutment teeth on patients that are wearing partial dentures as the literature has proven that these teeth are more prone to caries and periodontal disease.
The primary objectives of this research project are to:
The secondary objectives of this research project are to:
Assess of the topical application of CHX/thymol varnish every three months on partial denture abutment teeth compared to no application results in a clinically significant difference in:
Bleeding on probing (BoP).
Plaque formation.
Periodontal pocket depths.
Microbial composition and GCF cytokine profile of the sub gingival environment.
The patients self perception of oral health.
Full description
The data will be collected by one clinician in each dental school. All clinicians will be calibrated appropriately.
Calibration: Before any examination starts we will assess the consistency of each examiner (intra-exmainer) and also the variation between exmainers (inter-exmainer reproducibility). Each examiner will independently examiner the same group of 20 subjects and compare his or her findings. When findings contain major discrepancies, subjects should be recalled in order that differences in diagnoses can be reviewed by the exmainers and resolved by group discussion. If certain examiners consistently produce significantly different results from the majority, and attmepts to correct their performance fail, they will be excluded from the team. It will be made clear to all potential examiners, before these exmainations begin, that ability to standardize examination results is not a measure of clinical skills (Oral Health Surveys 4th edition. WHO. Geneva 1997) All the data will be recorded on the case report forms (CRFs).
