Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 16 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: This cross-sectional case control study was carried out at Selcuk University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Periodontology. Aggressive periodontitis patients referred as case were diagnosed by single examiner.The control group included periodontally healthy volunteers from staff and other subjects referring to the School of Dentistry.

Who may be able to join

  • Periodontally Healthy control group (n: 80) had < 3mm PD, < 2 GI and no signs of interproximal attachment loss and a history of periodontal disease.
  • The AgP group included individuals diagnosed with localized AgP (LAgP) or generalized AgP (GAgP) who were otherwise healthy. Periodontal attachment loss ≥4 mm accompanied by interproximal bone loss without gingival recession not involving more than two permanent teeth, other than the first molars and incisors were diagnosed with LAgP (n: 50); patients with involvement of at least three teeth, other than the first molars and incisors with an attachment loss ≥4 mm accompanied by interproximal bone loss without gingival recession were diagnosed with GAgP (n: 30).

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have any systemic diseases or conditions that could effect the periodontium
  • hepatitis and/or immunodeficiency virus infection
  • a history of periodontal treatment and antibiotic therapy within the 6 months
  • < 16 teeth in their mouth
  • Subjects who had smoked and were ongoing orthodontic treatment were excluded.

About this study

Official title: Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels Of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 in Patients With Aggressive Periodontitis

The aim of this study is to estimate GCF MCP-1 levels of healthy and Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) subjects and to compare MCP-1 levels between Localized AgP (LAgP) and Generalized AgP (GAgP) to establish its predictive value/role for distinguishing LAgP and GAgP development.

Read the detailed description

Patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP) are diagnosed as rapid and severe periodontal destruction commonly in younger systemically healthy individuals (Armitage, 1999). Although periopathogenic bacteria are essential for initiation, this alone does not be responsible for the manifestation and severity of the clinical status/phenotype (Offenbacher et al., 2008), suggesting an imbalance between host and bacterial load (Kinane et al., 2007). Response to bacterial biofilm is determined by the host immune system (Mahanonda and Pichyangkul, 2007, Amano, 2010) in which genetic and enviromental factors modify and may get individuals more susceptible or resistant to the periodontal diseases (Kulkarni and Kinane, 2014).

The role of whether an impaired or a hyperinflammatory host response is responsible for the progression of aggressive periodontitis has been a topic of discussion. Regarding to this topic Shaddox et al. (2016) studied the whole blood specimens collected from LAgP subjects and stimulated with plaque sample generated from healthy or diseased sites. And as a result, LAgP subjects displayed hyperinflammatory response regardless of contents of bacterial stimulus. In an another research hyperinflammatory responders LAgP subjects presented the lowest reductions in clinical parameters, on the contrary low responders showed the highest reductions after treatment (Allin et al., 2016). Similarly Garrison and Nichols (1989) reported that hyper-inflammatory monocyte phenotype can be deterministic in periodontal destruction. In the view of the aforementioned findings, the aim of this study is to estimate GCF MCP-1 levels of healthy and AgP subjects and to compare MCP-1 levels between LAgP and GAgP to establish its predictive value/role for distinguishing LAgP and GAgP development.

A total of 160 subjects including, 80 AgP and 80 age and gender matched periodontally healthy (H) controls were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Clinical periodontal measurements including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), proping depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) were performed. GCF samples were collected from 160 patients including 50 LAgP, 30 GAgP and 80 H. Volume of GCF samples were measured by an electronic device (Periotron 8000, OroFlow Inc.) and GCF MCP-1 was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay "ELISA".

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?

Determination of GCF MCP-1 levels in patients with AgP (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02927704, which also lists 7 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 7 Oct 2016.
