About this study

Official title: "Efficacy of Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy in Patients With Chronic Renal Disease and Periodontitis: A Biochemical and Microbiological Assay"

The main aim and objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Non- surgical periodontal therapy on the subgingival microbiota and biochemical parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease and chronic periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed as a Non randomized prospective, interventional clinical trial. The sample size for the study was 40 individuals aged between 35-75 years, equally divided into two groups.

Group I--- Patients with Chronic kidney disease and chronic periodontitis (Test) Group II--- Patients with Chronic periodontitis only (Controls) At baseline both the groups were analyzed for clinical, microbiological and also biochemical parameters and underwent Non-surgical Periodontal treatment (i.e. scaling and root planning). All parameters were reassessed again after 3 months.

A total of 20 patients attending the outpatient wing of Hyderabad Kidney Centre , Malakpet,Hyderabad who were diagnosed clinically with Chronic Kidney disease and willing to participate in the study were included in the study.

Another 20 patients attending the outpatient wing of Department of periodontics, Panineeya Mahavidyalaya Institute of Dental Sciences \& Hospital, Hyderabad, diagnosed with Chronic Periodontitis and willing to participate in the study were taken.

Biochemical parameters considered included -serum creatin \& urinary albumin: creatin ratio.

Microbiological assay was done by Polymerase chain reaction test (PCR) i.e., pooled plaque samples were taken from both predialysis as well as chronic periodontitis patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Scaling and Root planingOther

    All the patients were asked to use a preprocedural mouthrinse and scaling and rootplaning was done using ultrasonic scalers.

Study groups in NCT02901743
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GroupI (Test)Active comparator20 patients with renal insufficiency chronic and chronic periodontitis underwent scaling and root planing. Clinical parameters( GI,PD,CAL) were assessed at baseline and after 3 months. 2ml blood was drawn to assess serum creatinine levels and urine analysis was done at baseline and after 3 months for urinary albumin: creatinine ratio.Pooled plaque samples were taken at baseline and after 3 months to assess the microbial activity of Treponema Denticola and Tannerella Forsythia by PCR.
Receives: Other: Scaling and Root planing
Group II- (Control)Active comparator20 patients with chronic periodontitis who underwent scaling and root planing.Clinical parameters(GI,PD,CAL)were assessed at baseline and after 3 months. 2ml blood was drawn to assess seum creatnine levels and urine analysis was done at baseline and after 3 months for serum urinary Albumin:Creatinine ratio.Pooled plaque samples were taken at baseline and after 3 months to assess the microbial activity of Treponema denticola and Tannerella Forsythia by PCR.
Receives: Other: Scaling and Root planing

What is being measured

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

  1. Levels of Microbiological and Biochemical Parameters

    Microbiological assay was done by PCR test i.e., pooled plaque samples were taken from both predialysis as well as chronic periodontitis patients at baseline and 3 months after scaling and root planing.

    Supragingival plaque was removed carefully with a sterile scaler to prevent the contamination of the samples.Sample was harvested from the same site with a sterile Gracey curet 5-6 with one single vertical stroke on the root surface.

    Biochemical assay was done by Modified Jaffe's reaction to assess the levels of Serum Creatinine and urine samples were taken to assess the Albumin:Creatinine ratio

    Measured: Change in levels of Microbiological and Biochemical parameters were assessed at baseline and 3 months after scaling and rootplaning

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical parameter -Gingival Index (GI)

    The Gingival index was assessed using a University of Carolina-15 (UNC-15) Probe.

    Measured: Change in the GI was assessed at baseline and 3 months after Scaling and rootplaning

  2. Clinical Parameters-Probing depth(PD) and Clinical attachment levels (CAL)

    The Pd was assessed using UNC-15 Probe

    Measured: Change in Pd was assessed at baseline and 3 months after scaling and rootplaning

  3. Clinical Parameter- Clinical attachment levels(CAL)

    The CAL was assessed using UNC-15 Probe

    Measured: Change in CAL was assessed at baseline and 3 months after scaling and rootplaning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Scaling and Root planing in people with Renal Insufficiency Chronic and Chronic 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 15 Sep 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.

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?

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?

Levels of Microbiological and Biochemical Parameters (time frame: Change in levels of Microbiological and Biochemical parameters were assessed at baseline and 3 months after scaling and rootplaning). 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 NCT02901743, which also lists 2 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 15 Sep 2016.
