About this study

Official title: The Effect of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy With or Without Systemic Administration of Amoxicillin and Metronidazole on Serum Levels of TRAP-5b in Patients With Generalized Chronic Periodontitis - A Comparative Clinical Study

To compare the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy with or without systemic administration of amoxicillin and metronidazole on the concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

30 Chronic periodontitis subjects were divided into two groups- group A underwent scaling and root planing and group B underwent scaling and root planing with systemic administration of amoxicillin of 500 mg and metronidazole of 400 mg thrice daily for 7 days.

Periodontal parameters probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were measured at baseline and at 3rd month. Serum TRAP-5b levels were also measured at baseline, 1 month and at 3rd month.

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

  • Scaling and root planingProcedure or surgery

    Also called Non-surgical periodontal therapy

    subjects underwent full mouth supragingival and subgingival scaling

  • scaling and root planing along with antibiotic interventionDrug

    Also called Systemic antibiotics

    subjects underwent full mouth supragingival and subgingival scaling along with antibiotic intervention of amoxicillin of 500 mg and metronidazole of 400 mg thrice daily for 7 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum levels of TRAP-5b

    Concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b was assessed at baseline and at 3rd month using ELISA method.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Probing pocket depth

    Probing pocket depth was measured using Williams periodontal probe at baseline and at 3rd month

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

  2. Clinical attachment level

    Clinical attachment level was measured as a distance between base of pocket and a fixed point on the crown, such as cemento-enamel junction at baseline and at 3rd month.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling and root planing and scaling and root planing along with antibiotic intervention in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital.

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 4 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 3 Feb 2017. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Serum levels of TRAP-5b (time frame: Baseline and 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 NCT03043066, 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 3 Feb 2017.
