About this study

Official title: Effects of Vitamin D on Chronic Periodontitis

The object of the study was to evaluate the direct effect of high dose vitamin D supplementation on chronic periodontitis, and suggest the recommended dose for clinic use.

Read the detailed description

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by periodontal tissues inflammation and alveolar bone loss. Vitamin D is involved in stimulating osteoblasts to enable normal bone growth and preservation, also the regulation of cellular proliferation, differentiation, innate immune response and anti-inflammatory effect.Previous studies have reported the association of vitamin D levels and gingivitis and periodontitis. This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on chronic periodontitis.

The study was divided into two phases. Recruitment including baseline clinical measurements was obtained and standard periodontal treatments were performed in Phase One. The randomization and intervention of vitamin D were performed in Phase Two. The 323 subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=105,110,108) to receive a supplement kit containing 90 capsules of 2000 IU vitamin D, 1000 IU vitamin D, or placebo capsule for 3 months. After intervention, all the subjects were followed up after 3 months and received standard periodontal examination, including attachment loss (AL), probing depth (PD), bleeding index (BI), and panoramic radiographs were taken to evaluate alveolar crest height (ACH).

What is being measured

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

  1. Attachment Loss (AL)

    Examination of AL was performed with Williams probe, included six sites of each tooth: mesial buccal, buccal, distal buccal, mesial lingual, lingual and distal lingual. The outcome was the mean value of all the sites of all subjects.

    Measured: at baseline

  2. Attachment Loss (AL)

    Examination of AL was performed with Williams probe, included six sites of each tooth: mesial buccal, buccal, distal buccal, mesial lingual, lingual and distal lingual. The outcome was the mean value of all the sites of all subjects.

    Measured: 3 months after periodontal treatment

  3. Attachment Loss (AL)

    Examination of AL was performed with Williams probe, included six sites of each tooth: mesial buccal, buccal, distal buccal, mesial lingual, lingual and distal lingual. The outcome was the mean value of all the sites of all subjects

    Measured: 6 months after periodontal treatment

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Probing Depth (PD)

    Examination of PD was performed with Williams probe, included six sites of each tooth: mesial buccal, buccal, distal buccal, mesial lingual, lingual and distal lingual. The outcome was the mean value of all the sites of all subjects.

    Measured: at baseline

  2. Probing Depth (PD)

    Examination of PD was performed with Williams probe, included six sites of each tooth: mesial buccal, buccal, distal buccal, mesial lingual, lingual and distal lingual. The outcome was the mean value of all the sites of all subjects.

    Measured: 3 months after periodontal treatment

  3. Probing Depth (PD)

    Examination of PD was performed with Williams probe, included six sites of each tooth: mesial buccal, buccal, distal buccal, mesial lingual, lingual and distal lingual. The outcome was the mean value of all the sites of all subjects.

    Measured: 6 months after periodontal treatment

  4. Alveolar Crest Height (ACH)

    Panoramic radiographs were taken to evaluate alveolar crest height (ACH) with measuring software (i-Dixel, One Volume Viewer, version 6.00, J. MORITA MFG. CORP. Japan). The alveolar crest height is defined as the mean of the two-dimensional vertical distance between mesial and distal alveolar crest to apical point.

    Measured: at baseline

  5. Alveolar Crest Height (ACH)

    Panoramic radiographs were taken to evaluate alveolar crest height (ACH) with measuring software (i-Dixel, One Volume Viewer, version 6.00, J. MORITA MFG. CORP. Japan). The alveolar crest height is defined as the mean of the two-dimensional vertical distance between mesial and distal alveolar crest to apical point.

    Measured: 3 months after periodontal treatment

  6. Alveolar Crest Height (ACH)

    Panoramic radiographs were taken to evaluate alveolar crest height (ACH) with measuring software (i-Dixel, One Volume Viewer, version 6.00, J. MORITA MFG. CORP. Japan). The alveolar crest height is defined as the mean of the two-dimensional vertical distance between mesial and distal alveolar crest to apical point.

    Measured: 6 months after periodontal treatment

  7. Bleeding Index (BI)

    Examination of BI was performed with Williams probe, explored under the gingival margin about 1mm, and bleeding was observed after 30 seconds. BI was scored on a 0-5 scale, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: at baseline

  8. Bleeding Index (BI)

    Examination of BI was performed with Williams probe, explored under the gingival margin about 1mm, and bleeding was observed after 30 seconds. BI was scored on a 0-5 scale, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 3 months after periodontal treatment

  9. Bleeding Index (BI)

    Examination of BI was performed with Williams probe, explored under the gingival margin about 1mm, and bleeding was observed after 30 seconds. BI was scored on a 0-5 scale, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 6 months after periodontal treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vitamin D in people with Chronic Peritonitis, run by Beijing Chao Yang 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 18 Feb 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Attachment Loss (AL) (time frame: at baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Feb 2019.
