Trial summary

Vitamin D has become important for periodontal disease due to play a role in autoimmunity, bone mineral metabolism and inflammation. Our aim was to investigate the relation between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels, clinical periodontal parameters and blood serum biomarkers. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 25 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Sixty patients (35 girls) who were aged between 25-45 years (30.8 (mean) ± 4.9 (standard deviation) and presented to our faculty for periodontal and other dental problems, participated in the study. Subjects were divided in to 2 groups each containing 30 patients: * Group I - periodontal healthy * Group II - untreated chronic periodontitis (radiographic evidence of bone loss and clinical attachment loss in excess of 5 mm in more than six teeth)

Who may be able to join

  • never-smokers
  • no history of systemic disease
  • no patients had been under periodontal therapy and medicine for at least 6 months before the study
  • no pregnancy or lactation
  • no alcohol or antioxidant vitamin consumption.

About this study

Official title: Relationship of Bone Metabolism Biomarkers and Serum 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D in Patients With Chronic Periodontitis

Vitamin D has become important for periodontal disease due to play a role in autoimmunity, bone mineral metabolism and inflammation. Our aim was to investigate the relation between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels, clinical periodontal parameters and blood serum biomarkers. The subjects were evaluated in 2 groups as chronic periodontitis (n= 30) and periodontally healthy subjects (n= 30). Periodontal parameters and fasting venous blood samples were taken from the subjects to assess each patient's periodontal status and for biochemical analyses (25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH vit D), osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear kappa B ligand (RANKL), C-telopeptide (CTx), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alveolar Bone Loss, run by Ordu 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 5 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 23 Mar 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. 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?

Biochemical parameters (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 5 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 23 Mar 2017.
