Clinical trial NCT02319668: Antimicrobial Agent for Reducing Bacteria in Aerosols and Oral Cavity
Official title: A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Pre-procedural and Pre-surgical Rinsing With an Antimicrobial Agent in Reducing Bacteria in Dental Aerosols and in the Oral Cavity
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Phase: PHASE4
Conditions: Dental Prophylaxis and Implant Surgery
Lead sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline
Sponsor class: INDUSTRY
First posted: 2014-12-18
Enrollment: 38
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 64
Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of two week pre-surgical rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthrinse containing 0.2% w/v Chlorhexidine digluconate on the total number of plaque bacteria in the mouth 3 days post implant surgery. The study will be conducted at Eastman Clinical Investigation Centre (ECIC), University College London (UCL) Eastman Dental Institute. Participants will be those who require a single and simple surgical implant to be placed, and will be recruited from new patient referrals within the Eastman Dental Hospital

* Good general and mental health with, in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee:

  1. No clinically significant and relevant abnormalities in medical history or upon oral examination.
  2. Absence of any condition that could affect the participant's safety or well being or their ability to understand and follow study procedures and requirements.
* Females of childbearing potential who are, in the opinion of the investigator, practicing a reliable method of contraception
* Dental Health

  1. Good overall oral health in the opinion of investigator.
  2. A minimum of 20 permanent teeth.
  3. Requiring a single and simple implant (single tooth replacement with no bone augmentation required for implant placement).
