About this study

Official title: Gingival Crevicular Fluid Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha and Interleukin-18 Levels in Children With Gingivitis and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

This study aimed to evaluate the levels of interleukin 18 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and gingivitis.

Read the detailed description

Eighty eight children (44 with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 44 healty; age range 7-14 years) will be recruited for the study. The children will be classified into four subgroups based on their periodontal status; 1) Children with gingivitis and diabetes mellitus (MG, n=22); 2) Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus with healthy periodontium (MH, n=22); 3)Healthy children with gingivitis (HG, n=22); 4) Healthy children with healthy periodontium (HH, n=22). Probing pocket depth (PPD), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) will be recorded. Interleukin-18 and TNF-α will be analyzed in GCF and saliva samples by ELISA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases, run by Aydin Adnan Menderes 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 29 Nov 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?

Interleukin-18 level (time frame: Baseline). 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 29 Nov 2019.
