Overview

To compare the diagnostic accuracy of extra-oral x-rays with intra-oral x-rays, in contrast to clinically observed measurements, for the detection of calculus and bone loss of either the suprabony or infrabony types in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must be active patients of record at CU School of Dental Medicine
  • Patients will have an active treatment plan for periodontal open flap surgery
  • Patients will be classified as either ASA I or ASA II
  • Patients must have periodontal probing depths >/= 5mm and radiographic sings of marginal bone loss (supra or infra bony)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Less than 18 years of age
  • ASA III or above
  • Emergency patients
  • Pregnant patients
  • Patients who are not patients of record at the CU School of Dental Medicine
  • Patients with a recent panoramic radiograph that contraindicates the need for new imaging in the form of extra-oral bitewings

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
