Trial summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there are relationships between the salivary oxidative stress status of children with CHD directly dental caries including gender, age, salivary flow rate, salivary pH, salivary buffering capacity and drug intake such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

About this study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there are relationships between the salivary oxidative stress status of children with CHD directly dental caries including gender, age, salivary flow rate, salivary pH, salivary buffering capacity and drug intake such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. If such relationships exist, they might be employed to patient caries -prevention treatment.

Read the detailed description

Using heart failure medications may cause low salivary pH and buffering capacity.As improved oral health is a priority for cardiac patients, it is necessary that they attend dental clinics for regular follow up.

This cross sectional study was carried out with 42 CHD and 42 healthy children who applied to Istanbul University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pedodontics. Gender, age, general health and medications, and caries scores (dfs/DMFS) were recorded. Unstimulated saliva was collected from the participants and were assessed for the salivary secretion rate, salivary buffering capacity, pH, protein levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonyl, protein thiols, total sialic acid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing saliva in people with Cardiac Disease and Dental Caries, run by Istanbul 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 2 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 8 Mar 2018. 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?

salivary secretion rate (time frame: 2 hour). 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 8 Mar 2018.
