About this study

Official title: Determining the Relationship Between the Atherosclerosis and Periodontopathogenic Microorganisms in Chronic Periodontitis Patients

Determine the relationship between the systemic indications of atherosclerosis by means of the change in the ratio of periodontopathogenic microorganisms following periodontal treatment of individuals who have been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis-atherosclerosis and for individuals who have been diagnosed with systemically healthy-chronic periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

It has been aimed in this study to compare 1) the change in periodontal status; 2) the change of the periodontopathogen microorganisms (A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola, P. intermedia, P. micros, F. nucleatum/periodonticum, C. rectus, E. nodatum, E. corrodens, and C. gingivalis/ochracea/sputigena) in dental plaque samples, 3) the changes of the amounts of HDL, LDL, hs-CRP white blood cell levels (WBC), platelet levels (PLT), creatinine, and fibrinogen in serum samples; and 4) the correlation between periodontopathogen microorganisms (A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola, P. intermedia, P. micros, F. nucleatum/periodonticum, C. rectus, E. nodatum, E. corrodens, and C. gingivalis/ochracea/sputigena) and HDL, LDL, hs-CRP WBC, PLT, creatinine, and fibrinogen in patients that have been diagnosed with atherosclerosis-chronic periodontitis and systemic healthy patients and patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis, following non surgical periodontal treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-surgical periodontal treatment in people with Atherosclerosis and Chronic Periodontitis, run by Izmir Katip Celebi University.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 30 Nov 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?

Periodontopathogenic microorganism levels (time frame: 1 year). 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 30 Nov 2016.
