Investigation of the Safety and Efficacy of a Periodontal In-situ Gelling Product, Pocket-X Gel, in the Treatment of Periodontal Pockets Following Scaling and Root Planing
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pocket-X Gel and Scaling and root planing for Periodontal Pocket. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study is an open-label split-mouth study in which Pocket-X Gel, a periodontal in-situ gelling product, will be applied to periodontal pockets in one/two mouth segment(s) of participants, following scaling and root planing on the entire mouth, while the contralateral segment(s) will serve as control. The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of Pocket-X Gel in improving the healing of the gingiva and preventing bacterial re-colonization in the periodontal pocket following scaling and root planing.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Pocket-X Gel is a biodegradable in-situ gelling product that is inserted into a pre-cleaned periodontal pocket where it quickly turns into a gel that adheres to the periodontal pocket and acts as a filler and physical barrier against bacterial re-colonization at the site of application. Administration of this product typically causes no discomfort. The product naturally degrades after 1-3 weeks.
Scaling and root planing is a conventional gold-standard treatment for periodontitis. As part of this procedure, subgingival plaque and tartar are removed and root surfaces are planed.
