About this study

Official title: Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Serum Levels of Hepcidin, IL-6 and IL-10 in Periodontal Health and Disease

Periodontal disease refers to inflammatory disease of the periodontium caused by the host and/or pathogenic microorganisms. Anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines play a role in the periodontal inflammation process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of hepcidin, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and in serum samples obtained from individuals with periodontal inflammation.

Read the detailed description

The study included 90 individuals, who were divided into three groups: periodontally healthy (PH) (n=30); gingivitis (G) (n=30); and chronic periodontitis (CP) (n=30). GCF and serum samples were obtained from each individual, and samples were evaluated using ELISA. Statistical evaluation of the data was performed using the SPSS packet data program.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases, run by Bulent Ecevit University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 4 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Hepcidin levels (time frame: 1 year). 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 4 Oct 2019.
