Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis that switching from cigarette smoking to using IQOS improves the response to periodontal therapy and the overall oral health status compared to continuing cigarette smoking. Note: IQOS is the Tobacco Heating System (THS) with Marlboro Heatsticks, marketed in Japan under the brand name IQOS

Detailed description

This was a randomized, controlled, open-label, 2-arm, parallel group ambulatory study with the randomization stratified by daily cigarette consumption over the month (30 days) prior to Visit 1 (10-19 cigarettes/day vs. \> 19 cigarettes/day) and disease severity recorded at Visit 1 (\< 5 mm Pocket Depth \[PD\] vs. ≥ 5 mm PD) based on the most severely diseased tooth, in smokers with generalized chronic periodontitis who are randomized to either switch from cigarette smoking to IQOS use or continuing cigarette smoking.

Periodontal Pocket Depth (PD) Change From Baseline at 6 Months

Pocket depth (PD) is the distance from the gingival margin to which a probe penetrates into the pocket. Mean Periodontal PD change from baseline will be measured in all sites with initial PD ≥ 4 mm, following mechanical periodontal therapy, in patients who switch to IQOS use compared to those who continue cigarette smoking.

Time frame: At 6 months

Population: The analysis population consisted of all randomized subjects with at least one product use experience and at least one valid non-safety assessment. Subjects were analyzed based on their actual self-reported product use. Some participants were excluded from analysis for protocol deviations (including, but not limited to, missing measurements). The Other reporting group, which included one subject, was not included in this analysis.

Full-mouth Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) Over Time.

Clinical attachment level (CAL) is the measured distance from cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the bottom of pocket using a periodontal probe. Change in mean full-mouth CAL will be measured, following mechanical periodontal therapy, in patients who switch to IQOS use compared to those who continue cigarette smoking.

Time frame: From baseline to 3 months and 6 months

Population: The analysis population consisted of all randomized subjects with at least one product use experience and at least one valid non-safety assessment. Subjects were analyzed based on their actual self-reported product use. Some participants were excluded from analysis for protocol deviations (including, but not limited to, missing measurements).

Gingival Inflammation

Gingival inflammation will be measured by calculating the gingival index (GI) score for each target tooth. The gingival index (GI) scores each site on a 0 to 3 scale, with 0 being normal and 3 being severe inflammation characterized by edema, redness, swelling, and spontaneous bleeding.

Tooth Mobility

Tooth mobility will be graded according to Miller's mobility index (MMI), which is the most widely accepted method for routine clinical examinations of tooth mobility. The tooth is held between the metallic handles of two instruments and moved in the buccolingual or buccopalatal direction, and the moved distance is visually estimated by the person conducting the examination. Grade 0: Physiologic movement within 0.2 mm; Grade 1: Slight mobility, tooth can be moved 0.2 - 1 mm labiolingually; Grade 2: Moderate mobility, tooth can be moved 1 - 2 mm labiolingually or mesiodistally; Grade 3: Severe mobility, tooth can be moved more than 2 mm labiolingually or mesiodistally, or ability to depress the tooth in a vertical direction.
