About this study

Official title: Comparison of Serum Levels of Trefoil Factor 3 in Patients With Gingivitis and Periodontitis Following Non Surgical Periodontal Therapy

This study is intended to measure serum trefoil factor 3 at baseline and 3 months after, following nonsurgical periodontal therapy in patients with Gingivitis and Chronic Periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

A goal of periodontal diagnostic procedure is to provide useful information to the clinician regarding the present periodontal disease type and severity. Advances in diagnostic research are moving towards methods where periodontal risk can be identified and quantified by objective measures such as Biomarkers.

Trefoil factors (TFFs) are one such secreted molecules derived from mucin producing epithelial cells of the gastro intestinal tracts and other tissues such as Salivary glands, Parotid ducts and oral mucosa. Among three Trefoil factors reported, Trefoil Factor 3 (TFF3) is the modifying factor for signalling pathway involved in cell survival, cell proliferation and cell migration of oral keratinocytes. Hence assessing the marker levels would achieve beneficial effects on diagnosing the disease severity.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Scaling and root planingProcedure or surgery

    After the serum collection is done from the patient for the assessment of trefoil factor 3, Non surgical periodontal therapy is carried out.

Study groups in NCT03620396
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental: InterventionalExperimentalGroup A patients consists of Gingivitis patients whose serum is collected at base line and treated with Scaling and root planing and after three months serum is collected for assessment of Trefoil factor 3.

What is being measured

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

  1. Trefoil factor 3

    Blood samples were collected by venepuncture of anti-cubital vein. 2ml of blood was collected in each test tube. 10 minutes after collection, the test tube containing 2ml blood was subjected to centrifugation at 3000rpm for 10 min. The supernatant straw colored fluid (serum) was separated into storage vials (Eppendorf tubes) for serum Trefoil Factor 3.

    Measured: 3 months.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in the Gingival Index.

    The severity of gingivitis is scored on all surfaces of selected teeth using Williams Periodontal probe.

    Index teeth- 16, 12, 24, 36, 32, 44. Score around each tooth is totalled and divided by 4-score of tooth. 0.1-1.0: Mild gingivitis. 1.1-2.0:Moderate gingivitis 2.1-3.0:Severe gingivitis

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Change in Modified Plaque Index

    Examination of all the surfaces of the teeth are done using an explorer. The scores for individual teeth may be grouped and totalled and divided by the number of teeth.

    Excellent:0 Good:0.1-0.9 Fair:1.0-1.9 Poor:2-3

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Change in Probing depth

    The distance from the gingival margin to the depth of the pocket is measured using Williams periodontal probe.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Change in Clinical Attachment loss

    The distance from the cementoenamel junction to the tip of the alveolar crest is measures using Williams periodontal probe.

    Measured: 3 months

Model description
Patients will be equally divided into two test groups.Group A consists of Gingivitis patients and Group B consists of Periodontitis patients. Both the group patients have been evaluated for Serum Trefoil factor 3 at baseline and treated with non surgical periodontal therapy. After three months both the group patients were again assessed for serum trefoil factor 3.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling and root planing in people with Gingivitis and Periodontal Diseases, run by Dr.K.Sai Priyanka.

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 8 inclusion and 15 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 13 Aug 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?

Trefoil factor 3 (time frame: 3 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03620396, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 13 Aug 2018.
