About this study

Official title: Serum Amyloid A Protein And Fetuin A Protein Levels In Periodontal Health And Disease

The purpose of this study was to evaluate acute phase proteins (APPs) Fetuin-A and Serum Amyloid A (SAA) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum samples in periodontal health and disease.

Read the detailed description

The study population consisted totally 60 subjects consulted to Bulent Ecevit University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Periodontology whose age and sex were matched.

According to study design, subjects were divided into three groups based on their periodontal parameters. Patients suffering from chronic periodontitis formed the group 1 (n: 20), patients with plaque induced gingivitis formed the group 2 (n:20) and periodontal healthy patients were inserted in group 3 (n:20).

After gently drying the area, GCF was sampled with filter paper using the intracrevicular method (Periopaper, ProFlow, Inc., Amityville, New York, USA).Two milliliters (ml) of peripheral blood was collected from each individual with sterile syringe from the antecubital fossa by venipuncture, and to separate serum component sample centrifuged at 3000g for 5 min, and immediately stored at -40°C until assayed.

The quantity of Fetuin-A and SAA protein concentration in the samples were analyzed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) procedures using commercially available kits.

The Spearman's rank correlation test was used to detect the relationship between GCF and serum SAA and Fetuin-A with GI and CAL. All tests were performed using statistical software (SPSS Inc., version 22.0, Chicago, IL, USA). The mean ± standard deviation with mean rank values were calculated for each parameter, based on the patients as the statistical unit. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases, run by Bulent Ecevit University.

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 0 inclusion and 6 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 5 May 2015. 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?

Serum Amyloid A (SAA) levels as an inflammatory marker in periodontal disease both in serum and GCF (time frame: Day 0). 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 5 May 2015.
