About this study

Official title: Calcitonin Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Patients With Osteoporosis and Chronic Periodontitis-An Observational Study

Osteoporosis and Periodontitis are multifactorial diseases which share common risk factors.The aim of the present study is to ellucidate polymorphisms in Calcitonin receptor gene? in patients with Osteoporosis and Periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

Periodontitis is a polymicrobial inflammatory disease which includes various modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors. The non modifiable risk factors include genetic polymorphisms like metabolism associated genetic polymorphisms ( Vitamin D and Calcitonin).

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue with consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures.

Bone loss is a common feature shared between periodontal disease and osteoporosis.

Out of all genetic factors Calcitonin gene polymorphism contributes to the development of both osteoporosis and chronic periodontitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Generalized Chronic Periodontitis and Osteoporosis, run by Panineeya Mahavidyalaya Institute of Dental Sciences & Research Centre 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 21 Apr 2015. 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. 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?

Calcitonin gene polymorphism (time frame: 5 Months). 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 21 Apr 2015.
