About this study

Official title: Effect of Surgical Periodontal Therapy on the RANKL/OPG System : Do we Need Osteo-immune Modulation Targeting RANKL?

In the present clinical study including chronic, aggressive periodontitis and healthy individuals, the investigators aimed to determine the RANKL, osteoprotegrin (OPG), Interleukin-1 (IL-1β), IL-10, IL-1β levels in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) before and after surgical periodontal treatment and search out the relationship of clinical parameters with these cytokine levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. RANKL (pmol) level in GCF

    Changes in RANKL levels 3 months after surgical periodontal treatment in Chronic and Aggressive periodontitis determined by ELISA

    Measured: Baseline-3 months

  2. OPG level (pg) in GCF

    Changes in OPG levels 3 months after surgical periodontal treatment in Chronic and Aggressive periodontitis determined by ELISA

    Measured: Baseline-3 months

  3. RANKL/OPG ratio

    RANKL/OPG ratio changes 3 months after surgical periodontal treatment in Chronic and Aggressive periodontitis

    Measured: Baseline - 3months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. IL-1β (pg) levels in GCF

    Changes in IL-1β levels (determined by ELISA) 3 months after surgical periodontal treatment in Chronic and Aggressive Periodontitis groups

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months after treatment

  2. Il-10 (pg) levels in GCF

    Changes in IL-10 levels (determined by ELISA) 3 months after surgical periodontal treatment in Chronic and Aggressive periodontitis

    Measured: Baseline-3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Periodontitis and Aggressive Periodontitis, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 15 Jul 2014. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

RANKL (pmol) level in GCF (time frame: Baseline-3 months). 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 15 Jul 2014.
