Trial summary

Etiopathology of periodontitis is complex and various risk factors are known : Bacterial factors: major risk factor. Although the presence of periodontopathogen bacteria is necessary for the onset of periodontitis, these microorganisms are not sufficient for progression of all periodontal disease.

About this study

Etiopathology of periodontitis is complex and various risk factors are known :

  • Bacterial factors: major risk factor. Although the presence of periodontopathogen bacteria is necessary for the onset of periodontitis, these microorganisms are not sufficient for progression of all periodontal disease.
  • Immune factor: host immune response modulates the disease evolution to destruction or recovery. The most studied cytokine in periodontology is IL-1 that induces various immune reactions and bone resorption directly or indirectly through the stimulation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release. PGE2 activates the matrix metalloproteinases that are responsible of the degradation of bone extracellular matrix.

Cytokine production, especially TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8, by some immune cells is modulated by new identified molecules such as Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells (TREM) whose role in periodontitis is unknown.

The purpose of this study is to compare concentrations of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 markers in infected sites and in healthy sites in patients affected by periodontitis.

Other purposes are

  1. Comparison of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 concentrations in healthy sites in patients affected by periodontitis and in healthy patients
  2. Comparison of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 concentrations before and after etiologic periodontitis treatment
  3. Estimation of the correlation between soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 concentrations and clinical signs of periodontitis
  4. Description of soluble TREM-1/TREM-2 ratio before and after etiologic treatment
  5. Description of presence of some bacteria in sites analyzed for soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2
  6. Search for the most observed bacteria in presence of high concentrations of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 before and after etiologic treatment
  7. Evaluation of the impact of psychological stress measured through salivary cortisol level in saliva on TREM-1 and -2 expression
  8. Evaluation of the impact of psychological stress through stress and anxiety auto-questionnaires (Spielberger and Cohen) on soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 concentrations in crevicular fluid of healthy and pathologic teeth.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average concentration (quantified with ELISA assay) of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 in crevicular fluid from 2 distant sites affected by periodontitis and 1 healthy site of each periodontitis patients at first consultation

    Measured: day 0

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Average concentration (quantified with ELISA assay) of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 in crevicular fluid from healthy sites of periodontitis patients and non-periodontitis patients at first consultation

    Crevicular fluid from 3 sites (2 distant affected by periodontitis and 1 healthy) of periodontitis patients and from 1 healthy site of non-periodontitis patients

    Measured: day 0

  2. Average concentration (quantified with ELISA assay) of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 in crevicular fluid of periodontitis patients before and after etiologic treatment of periodontitis

    Crevicular fluid from 3 sites (2 distant affected by periodontitis and 1 healthy) of periodontitis patients

    Measured: day 0 and after 13 to 15 weeks (after etiologic treatment of periodontitis patients)

  3. Identification of periodontal bacterial flora

    The kit microIDent®plus11 (Hain, Lifesciences) allows the identification by PCR of the most pathogen periodontal bacteria.

    Measured: day 0 and after 13 to 15 weeks (after etiologic treatment of periodontitis patients)

  4. Psychological stress score with Cohen Perceived Stress Scale

    Measured: day 0

  5. Psychological stress score with Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

    Measured: day 0

  6. Quantification of salivary cortisol by ELISA to measure psychological stress

    Measured: day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Crevicular samples (1-10µl), Saliva samples (1ml) and Etiologic treatment in people with Periodontitis, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 1 Feb 2019. 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 France. 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?

Average concentration (quantified with ELISA assay) of soluble TREM-1 and TREM-2 in crevicular fluid from 2 distant sites affected by periodontitis and 1 healthy site of each periodontitis patients at first consultation (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 1 Feb 2019.
