About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Gingival Crevicular Fluid Interleukin-1β and Interleukin-17 Levels and Periodontal Pathogens After Full-Mouth Disinfection Initial Periodontal Treatment in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine whether full-mouth disinfection is effective in the initial periodontal treatment of generalized aggressive periodontitis on clinical parameters, gingival crevicular fluid interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) and periodontal pathogen levels compared with conventional initial periodontal treatment and full-mouth initial periodontal treatment.

The investigators' hypothesis is to test whether full-mouth disinfection in the initial periodontal treatment of generalized aggressive periodontitis enhance the clinical, biochemical and microbiological parameters in comparison to conventional initial periodontal treatment and full-mouth initial periodontal treatment.

Read the detailed description

The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of conventional initial periodontal treatment (C-IPT), full-mouth disinfection IPT (FMD-IPT) and full-mouth IPT (FM-IPT) and the levels of gingival crevicular fluid interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-17 (IL-17), Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, Parvimonas micra and Campylobacter rectus in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) over 6-months period. Forty-two GAgP patients were randomly assigned into 3 groups. IPT was performed in a quadrant-wise manner at 1-week intervals in C-IPT, in 2 sessions within 24 hours in FM-IPT, and in 2 sessions with application of chlorhexidine to the intra-oral niches within 24 hours in FMD-IPT. FMD-IPT group also used daily 0,2% chlorhexidine for 3 weeks. At baseline, 3 and 6 months clinical parameters consisting of plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, bleeding on probing and clinical attachment level were recorded, gingival crevicular fluid and microbiological samples were collected. Gingival crevicular fluid levels of IL-1β and IL-17 were analyzed using ELISA. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method was used for the quantitative detection of periodontal pathogens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probing Depth

    Measured: 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Gingival Crevicular Fluid Interleukin-1β and Interleukin-17 Levels (pg)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  2. Level of A. Actinomycetemcomitans

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  3. Level of Porphyromonas Gingivalis

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  4. Level of Fusobacterium Nucleatum

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  5. Level of Parvimonas Micra

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  6. Bleeding on Probing

    Possible score for BOP range from %0 (no sites with bleeding on probing) to %100 (all sites with bleeding on probing). Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  7. Plaque Index

    Possible scores for Plaque Index range from 0 (no plaque) to 3 (visible plaque all around the tooth). Higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  8. Gingival Index

    Possible score for Gingival Index range from 0 (healthy gingiva) to 3 (severe gingivitis with bleeding). Higher scores mean worse outcome

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  9. Clinical Attachment Level

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  10. Level of Prevotella Intermedia

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

  11. Level of Campylobacter Rectus

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 6 months after initial periodontal treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Klorhex® Gel, rinse and spray, Conventional IPT and Full-mouth IPT in people with Aggressive Periodontitis, run by Marmara 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 5 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 9 Jun 2020. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Probing Depth (time frame: 6 months after initial periodontal treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02466646, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 9 Jun 2020.
