About this study

The study was to intended to visualize the nuclear localization of vitamin D receptor in oral tissues of aggressive periodontitis patients to better understand the potential for receptor in disease activity or progression.

Read the detailed description

Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is an infectious disease of the periodontium which affects young adults, causing damage to the supporting apparatus of the teeth, leading to rapid bone resorption and tooth loss. Its clinical features have been shown to result from several genetic and environmental factors.

This has increased the interest to research those genetic host factors as they may provide useful risk markers, reveal important information regarding the pathogenesis and also identification of effective preventive agents that might help decrease the disease burden.

1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3,apart from these traditional calcium-related actions, this active form is being increasingly recognized for its potent anti-proliferative, anti-differentiative and immunomodulatory activities.

The calcitriol activity is largely mediated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR) whose expression has been described in some tissues. VDR is localized in both the cytosol and nucleus and accumulates in the nucleus in response to 1,25,dihydroxyvitamin D3 binding.

Expression and nuclear activation of the VDR are necessary for the effects of vitamin D. Thus, alterations in the vitamin D pathway lead to disturbances in mineral metabolism. It may be hypothesized that the rapid bone loss which occurs in aggressive periodontitis patients may be due to decreased or absence of expression of Vitamin D receptor in the nucleus.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vitamin D receptorGenetic

    Also called 1,25,dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor

    50-100mg gingival tissue samples were collected from both test and control group for immunohistochemical staining to assess the number of vitamin D receptors in nucleus as well cytoplasm and also for RNA isolation to check the presence of VDR gene.

Study groups in NCT02282800
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Case groupCase group include patients with generalized AgP were the tissue samples taken to analyse the number of vitamin D receptor present.
Receives: Genetic: Vitamin D receptor
Control groupEthnically matched, systemically and periodontally healthy individuals were included in control group were also gingival tissue taken for analysis of number of receptors present in nucleus and cytoplasm
Receives: Genetic: Vitamin D receptor

What is being measured

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

  1. Less nuclear receptors in aggressive periodontitis

    Immunohistochemical staining has been done for test group and control group tissue samples where less nuclear vitamin D receptors are found in aggressive periodontitis patients.

    Measured: 24hrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aggressive Periodontitis, run by Panineeya Mahavidyalaya Institute of Dental Sciences & Research Centre.

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 5 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 4 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Less nuclear receptors in aggressive periodontitis (time frame: 24hrs). 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 4 Nov 2014.
