NCT ID NCT07424612
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared a mobile app (Peribrain) to traditional manual methods for classifying the stage and grade of periodontitis (gum disease) in 122 patients. A student, a clinical student, and a clinician each classified the disease using either the app or manual measurements. The goal was to see if the app could provide a reliable, standardized diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mobile application (Peribrain) for periodontal classification
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a faster, more consistent way to classify periodontitis using a mobile app, potentially improving diagnosis in dental clinics.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed cross-sectional study, not a treatment trial. The app's accuracy may not generalize to all populations or dental settings, and it does not test any new therapy.
