Official title

Analysis of Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) in the Characterization of Gingival Systemic Health, Gingivitis and Periodontitis and Effects of Periodontal Treatment

Overview

The aim of the study is to identify tissue changes among healthy patients, patients with gingivitis and with periodontitis before and after treatment, by analyzing tissues changes through Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT)

Detailed description

The tissue changes among healthy patients, patients with gingivitis and with periodontitis before and after treatment, by analyzing tissues changes through Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) will be evaluated through changes on epithelium before and after non surgical periodontal treatment

Interventions

  • Device Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT)
    Analysis of Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) in separate groups of patients with gingivitis, periodontitis and healthy patients

Primary outcome measures

  • Visual epithelial surface change [Time frame: 6-months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of gingivitis or periodontitis by the presence of elevated bleeding or probing index or probing pocket depth

Exclusion criteria

  • Smoking
  • Any systemic diseases that could influence the gingival structure

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
