is Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis an Endless Disease When Does it Stop
Egypt92 participantsStarted 2020-01-16
Plain-language summary
Background: Inquiring thoroughly and systematically for evidence supporting the mechanism, time span, onset, or ending events of generalized aggressive periodontitis. The aim of the current retrospective cross-sectional study was to set temporal boundaries of the generalized form of aggressive periodontitis based on eruption time of permanent teeth via panoramic radiographs.
Methods: based on the Egyptian chronology, the primary outcome of the current retrospective study was to assess the correlation between the eruption sequence and the temporal borders of the disease as well as the prevalence of destructive events in accordance to the eruption schedule. The first affected tooth, the last affected tooth, the first unaffected tooth, the number of affected teeth, the presence of interrupted tooth all are factors that extracted from the panoramic radiographs.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
