Prospective Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial in the Gingivitis Prevention With an Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins Nutritional Supplement

Six teeth were examined according to Ramfjord criteria (16-21-24-36-41-44 ). Four surfaces of each tooth were examined, making a total of 24 measurements taken.

A periodontal probe was used to make this index. The values established for the examination are found below:
0 - Absence of inflammation. 1 - Mild inflammation, slight change in colour and no gingival edema. No bleeding on probing. 2 - Moderate inflammation, redness, edema and gingival hypertrophy. Bleeds to probe (after 10 seconds). 3 - Severe inflammation, marked redness and hypertrophy. There may be ulcerations. Tends to spontaneous bleeding.

The buccal surfaces of anterior teeth were examined using a mouthwash of basic fuchsine as developing agent plaque and a numerical scoring system from O to 5 was established.
0: There is no plaque 1: Independent streaks of plaque in the cervical margin of the tooth. 2: thin continuous band of plaque (up to 1mm) at the cervical margin. 3: Band greater than one millimetre wide, but covers less than one third of the crown. 4: The plate covers third but not more than two thirds of the crown. 5: The plate covers two thirds or more of the crown.

Crevicular fluid samples were collected from interdental areas (lingual, buccal, mesial, and distal) of six teeth distributed by the four quadrants (16, 21, 24, 36, 41 and 44) by 5 strips of pressed paper 2cm long, especially for crevicular fluid. The impregnation time for each patient was 5 seconds and immediately inserted into 0.5ml Eppendorf microtubes with 50ul saline at 4 ° C for preservation. The sample transport to the biological laboratory was in a refrigerator, being stored frozen at -80°C at the laboratory until being processed.

The brightness of the gingiva was taken to identify possible changes in the gingival colour. The reddening of the gingiva accompanies the inflammation of the tissue, which is a factor that may help to differentiate inflammatory changes at this level.
The luminosity of the gingiva was registered with Micro SpectroShadeTM MHT Optic Research AG. This instrument is designed for taking dental colour. However, besides including colour guides, the SpectroShadeTM has the ability to measure the brightness of any colour, not just shades of white. The change in the colour of the gingiva was observed within the same patient measuring the reference colour for each patient in the same point in each evaluation visit and being able to compare the change in the coloration of the same point.
