About this study

Official title: Effect of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy on Salivary and Gingival Crevicular Fluid YKL-40 and IL-6 Levels in Chronic Periodontitis

The primer aim of the study was to investigate saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) YKL-40 and also interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in chronic periodontitis pathogenesis.

Read the detailed description

This study consisted of two groups: 26 periodontally healthy individuals and 26 generalized chronic periodontitis patients. Chronic periodontitis patients were received nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Clinical measurements were recorded, saliva and GCF samples were obtained before and at first and third months after periodontal therapy. Levels of YKL-40 and IL-6 in saliva and GCF were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases, run by Zeynep Pinar KELES.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 25 Apr 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?

YKL-40 levels (time frame: at first and third month after therapy). 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 25 Apr 2018.
