About this study

Official title: Effects of Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy on Plasma Hepatocyte Growth Factor Levels in Smokers and Non Smokers With Chronic Periodontitis

This study is intended to measure hepatocyte growth factor levels in smokers and non smokers with periodontitis before and after non surgical periodontal therapy.

Read the detailed description

The study was randomised prospective,interventional clinical trial. The sample size for the study was 40 individuals aged between 20 to 60 years,equally divided into two groups.

Group l - smokers with chronic periodontitis (test) group. Group ll - non smokers with chronic periodontitis (controls)

At baseline both the groups were analysed for clinical and biochemical parameters and underwent non surgical periodontal therapy( scaling and root planning). All parameters were reassesed after 3 months.

A total of 40 patients( 20 somkers and 20 non smokers) from the outpatient wing of department of periodontics, Panineeya mahavidyalaya institute of dental sciences and research centre diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and willing to participate in the study.

Clicical parameters included gingival index and periodontal index. Biochmeical parameters included plasma hepatocyte growth factor.

What participants receive

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

  • NSPTOther

    NSPT was done by ultrasonic scalers after administration of pre procedural mouth rinse in the test group (20 smokers with chronic periodontitis).Clinical parameters (GI,PI) were assessed at baseline and at the end of 3 months.2 ml blood was drawn to assess the plasma hepatocyte growth factor levels at baseline and at the end of 3 months.

  • Scaling and root planingOther

    Scaling and root planing was done by ultrasonic scalers after administration of pre procedural mouth rinse in the control group (20 non smokers with chronic periodontitis).Clinical parameters (GI,PI) were assessed at baseline and at the end of 3 months.2 ml blood was drawn to assess the plasma hepatocyte growth factor levels at baseline and at the end of 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary outcome of the study was to measure plasma heaptocyte growth factor level

    The change in plasma hepatocyte growth factor level was measured at baseline and at the end of 3 months after scaling and root planing.2 ml blood was drawn from the patient to assess the hepatocyte growth factor levels.biochemical analysis was done by ELISA test i.e., blood samples from both smokers and non smokers with chronic periodontitis were taken at baseline and at the end of 3 monthd

    Measured: baseline, 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. gingival index

    The secondary outcome of the study is to measure gingival index at baseline and 3 months after scaling and root planing. gingival index was assesed using williams periodontal probe

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

  2. periodontal index

    The secondary outcome of the study is to measure periodontal index at baseline and 3 months after scaling and root planing. periodontal index was assesed using williams periodontal probe

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NSPT and Scaling and root planing in people with 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 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 12 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?

Primary outcome of the study was to measure plasma heaptocyte growth factor level (time frame: baseline, 3 months). 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 NCT02930356, 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 12 Oct 2016.
