About this study

Official title: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity and Periodontal Disease: a Cross Sectional Study

This study evaluated the periodontal condition of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients and a healthy non-pregnant control group. For the GDM group all medical data were recorded, including obesity/insulin resistance indicators.

Read the detailed description

Gestational diabetes mellitus is associated to a worse periodontal condition. Many patients with these two diseases are also obese. After delivery, some patients maintain the pre-pregnancy obesity status and this condition is also associated to periodontal disease. The mechanisms involved in the relationship of all these medical and periodontal conditions are not clear.

What is being measured

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

  1. Periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) measured by a periodontal probe and classified according to severity

    Severe periodontitis was defined by the presence of ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with CAL ≥ 6mm and ≥1 interproximal site with PPD ≥5mm. Moderate periodontitis was defined by the presence of ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with CAL ≥ 4mm or ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with PPD ≥5mm. Mild periodontitis was defined as ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with ≥ 3 mm CAL and ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with ≥ 4 mm PPD or at least 1 site with PPD ≥ 5 mm (20,21). Gingivitis was determined as follows: Subjects were considered healthy if presented PPD ≤3mm/BOP extent scores < 10% and with gingivitis if presented PPD ≤3mm/ BOP extent scores >10%. Prevalence of periodontal disease was the sum of gingivitis, mild, moderate and severe periodontitis.

    Measured: One day

  2. Obesity measured by a tape and a scale

    Obese if: body mass index - BMI ≥ 25 Kg/m2 (weight in kilograms, height in meters) Obese if : waist-to-hip ratio - WHR >0.85 (cm)

    Measured: one day

  3. Gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosed by an endocrinologist

    Diagnosis stablished by a doctor based on glucose determination. The data was registered in the patient's medical chart.

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Dyslipidemia as an indicator of obesity/insulin resistance

    The data was registered in the patient's medical chart. Dyslipidemia = HDL ≤ 35 mg/dL / LDL≥ 100 mg/dL / Total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL / Triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL / VLDL < 30 mg/dL

    Measured: one day

  2. Leukocytosis as an indicator of inflammation

    The data was registered in the patient's medical chart.

    ≥ 10.000/L

    Measured: one day

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?

Periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) measured by a periodontal probe and classified according to severity (time frame: One day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02903264, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
