About this study

The main objective is to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on serum levels of HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study is a 6-month, single-masked, randomized clinical trial.A total of 90 patients with diabetes and chronic generalized periodontal disease will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Treatment Group, Control Group.

Read the detailed description

Background: Periodontitis and diabetes are both highly prevalent conditions, and the association between these two common diseases has been recognised by dental professionals for many years.

Aim: The main objective is to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on serum levels of HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: This study is a 6-month, single-masked, randomized clinical trial.A total of 90 patients with diabetes and chronic generalized periodontal disease will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Treatment Group (TG) (Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) + scaling and root planing (RAR) using ultrasound device and Gracey curettes); Control Group (CG) (OHI + supragingival removal of plaque and calculus with ultrasonic device). CG patients receive salvage therapy if a significant worsening of their periodontal status and / or metabolic observed. Periodontal assesment (probing pocket depth (PPD), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI)) and systemic assesment (random blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), and salivary cytokines) and bacterial asessment at baseline and 3, 6 months after treatment is performed. There will be a single examiner, blind and calibrated to improve reproducibility. The investigators' hypothesis is that non-surgical periodontal treatment reduces HbA1c, improving metabolic control in patients with DM

What participants receive

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

  • Nonsurgical periodontal treatmentProcedure or surgery

    Also called Scaling and root planing

    Full mouth debridement, which consisted of scaling and root planing (SRP), was done in a single visit using an ultrasonic scaler (SATELEC P5 Newtron XS, Acteon, Merignac, France) and Gracey curretes (Hu- Friedy, Chicago, USA).

  • Dental ProphylaxisProcedure or surgery

    Also called Removal superficial plaque

    Removal superficial plaque using an ultrasonic scaler (SATELEC P5 Newtron XS, Acteon, Merignac, France)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nonsurgical periodontal treatment and Dental Prophylaxis in people with Chronic Periodontitis and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Barcelona.

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 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 19 Oct 2016. 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?

Change from baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) (time frame: Baseline and 6 months after intervention). 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 19 Oct 2016.
