ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment for people with periodontitis, a gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. It compares the use of a special device called the AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master, which uses a powder called erythritol to clean teeth, against traditional manual scalers. The goal is to see which method better reduces gum pocket depth, bleeding, and plaque, while also considering factors like patient comfort, satisfaction, treatment time, and costs.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 16 and 80 years old, have at least 20 teeth, and be diagnosed with periodontitis, meaning you have gum pockets that are 4 to 6 mm deep. You must also be generally healthy and able to attend follow-up appointments. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and if you join, you can expect to receive one of the two treatments and provide feedback on your experience. It’s important to note that pregnant women, those with certain health conditions, or severe respiratory issues cannot participate.
