  • Ages 30 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Systemically healthy CP subjects aged between 30-50 years who are current smokers with no history of periodontal therapy or use of antibiotics in past 6 months, having sites with intrabony defect depth (IBD) ≥ 3mm (distance between alveolar crest and base of the defect on intraoral periapical radiograph) along with PPD ≥5 mm or CAL ≥3 mm in an asymptomatic tooth were included in the study.
  • A subject was considered as a current smoker if he regularly smoked more than 10 cigarettes/day for a minimum of 5 years

Who cannot join

  • Former smokers, i.e. subjects who had previously been smokers but stopped their habit, and non-smokers were excluded. Subjects allergic to statins, on systemic statin therapy, with any known systemic disease or any other systemic inflammation/ infection which could alter the course of periodontal disease and users of tobacco in any other form than cigarettes were excluded from the study

About this study

Official title: 1.2% Rosuvastatin Gel As A Local Drug Delivery Agent In Smokers With Chronic Periodontitis- A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of subgingival delivery of Rosuvastatin gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in Smokers With Chronic Periodontitis (CP) patients.

Read the detailed description

Background: Periodontal diseases are multi-factorial in etiology, and bacteria are one among these etiologic agents. However, mechanical therapy itself may not always reduce or eliminate the anaerobic infection at the base of the pocket, within the gingival tissues. To overcome this, various systemic and local drug delivered antimicrobials have been used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP).The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1.2% rosuvastatin (RSV) gel local drug delivery as an adjunct to SRP in smokers with chronic periodontitis (CP).

Methods: Sixty subjects were randomly allocated into two treatment groups: SRP with placebo gel (group 1), SRP with 1.2% RSV gel (group 2). Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 6 and 9 months. Radiographic assessment was done using computer aided software at baseline, 6 and 9 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing SRP plus Rosuvastatin gel in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore at 1 site in India.

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 1 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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Defect depth reduction (%) (time frame: Change from baseline to 9 months). 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 3 Feb 2017.
