Official Title: Efficacy of Glycine Powder Air-Polishing Combined With Scaling and Root Planing in the Treatment of Periodontitis and Halitosis: A Randomized Clinical Study

Brief Summary:

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of using perio flow adjunctively with mechanical instrumentation on periodontal parameters and halitosis.

Sixty patients who presented with 4-6-mm probing pocket depth (PPD) were recruited for the study. Patients were randomly assigned to glycine powder air-polishing (GPAP) or control groups. For both groups PPDscores were recorded at the baseline and 1 month. Volatile sulphur compound (VSC) values were measured by a halimeter at the baseline, immediately after treatment, and at 7 days, 14 days and 1 month.


Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Near East University, Turkey

Current Primary Outcome: Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD) [ Time Frame: 30 day. ]

PD were evaluated:at the follow-up sessions by the investigator with by marking a point on a 10 mm periodontal probe.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: halimeter values. [ Time Frame: 30 day. ]

The changes of Volatile Sulphure Compaunds by were evaluated with Halimeter Device at the follow-up sessions by the investigator. The Halimeter reads out in parts-per-billion (ppb) of volatile sulfur compounds.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
