Tokyo, Aug. 7 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062475) titled 'Comparison of Treatment Time and Patient-Reported Outcomes Between Erythritol Powder Air-Polishing and Rubber Cup Polishing: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial' on Aug. 6.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Cross-over Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - The Nippon Dental University

Condition: Condition - Systemically healthy adults Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To compare treatment time and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between erythritol powder air-polishing (EPAP) and conventional rubber cup polishing (RC) for supragingival plaque removal in systemically healthy adults using a randomized crossover clinical trial. The primary outcome is treatment time. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Erythritol powder air-polishing (EPAP). One treatment session. Supragingival plaque removal of the full dentition using the AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master (EMS, Nyon, Switzerland) with AIRFLOW PLUS erythritol powder (mean particle size approximately 14 um). The handpiece was positioned approximately 3 to 5 mm from the tooth surface at an angle of approximately 30 to 60 degrees. Treatment was continued until no disclosed supragingival plaque was visually detectable. Each participant received the alternate intervention after a washout period of at least 2 weeks. Interventions/Control_2 - Rubber cup polishing (RC). One treatment session. Supragingival plaque removal of the full dentition was performed using a rubber prophylaxis cup attached to a low speed handpiece operating at approximately 1000 to 2000 rpm with prophylaxis paste (RDA 250). Interproximal surfaces inaccessible to the rubber cup were cleaned using a prophylaxis point. Treatment was continued until no disclosed supragingival plaque was visually detectable. Each participant received the alternate intervention after a washout period of at least 2 weeks.
