Trial summary

The adjunctive use of Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist (Montelukast) along with scaling and root planing in patients with chronic periodontitis leads to host inflammatory response modulation and decrease in serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels. If proven this will open new vistas in treatment of chronic periodontitis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect Of SRP With Adjunctive Systemic Therapy Of Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist-Montelukast On The Serum C Reactive Protein Levels & Clinical Parameters In Chronic Periodontitis Patients - A Randomized Controlled Trial

The adjunctive use of Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist (Montelukast) along with scaling and root planing in patients with chronic periodontitis leads to host inflammatory response modulation and decrease in serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels. If proven this will open new vistas in treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

A RCT was carried out to check the efficacy of Montelukast as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. The patients were randomised to either test group (SRP + Montelukast) and control group (SRP). Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Serum C-reactive protein levels were assessed at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes from baseline in the serum C- reactive protein levels at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

    The biochemical parameter of serum C- reactive protein levels were checked at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Montelukast therapy was started at baseline and continued for 3 weeks in test group and the post treatment levels were further checked at 6 weeks (i.e. 3 weeks after stoppage of Montelukast.) the change in C- reactive protein levels was analysed.

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks

  2. Changes from baseline in the probing pocket depth at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

    The probing pocket depths were checked at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Montelukast therapy was started at baseline and continued for 3 weeks in test group and the post treatment levels were further checked at 6 weeks (i.e. 3 weeks after stoppage of Montelukast.) The change in probing pocket depth was analysed.

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks.

  3. Changes from baseline in the clinical attachment level at 3 weeks and 6 weeks.

    The clinical attachment levels were checked at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Montelukast therapy was started at baseline and continued for 3 weeks in test group and the post treatment levels were further checked at 6 weeks (i.e. 3 weeks after stoppage of Montelukast.) The change in clinical attachment levels was analysed.

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes from baseline in Gingival Index (GI) at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

    changes from baseline in standard clinical parameter, GI were assessed at 3 weeks after starting therapy with Montelukast, then therapy was stopped and same changes were again assessed at 6 weeks from baseline. GI has a scoring criteria specified by Silness \& Loe, 1963.

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks

  2. Changes from baseline in Plaque Index (PI) at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

    changes from baseline in standard clinical parameter, PI were assessed at 3 weeks after starting therapy with Montelukast, then therapy was stopped and same changes were again assessed at 6 weeks from baseline. PI has a scoring criteria specified by Loe \& Silness, 1964.

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks

  3. Changes from baseline in Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

    changes from baseline in standard clinical parameter, OHI-S were assessed at 3 weeks after starting therapy with Montelukast, then therapy was stopped and same changes were again assessed at 6 weeks from baseline. OHI-S has a scoring criteria specified by Greene and Vermilion, 1964.

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks

  4. Changes from baseline in Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI) at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

    changes from baseline in standard clinical parameter, SBI were assessed at 3 weeks after starting therapy with Montelukast, then therapy was stopped and same changes were again assessed at 6 weeks from baseline. SBI has a scoring criteria specified by Muhleman (1971).

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Montelukast in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Tatyasaheb Kore Dental College at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes from baseline in the serum C- reactive protein levels at 3 weeks and 6 weeks (time frame: baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2013.
