About this study

Official title: The Effect of Smoking on Gingival Crevicular Fluid Peptidoglycan Recognition Protein-1 Level Following Initial Periodontal Therapy in Chronic Periodontitis

A total of 40 patients with CP (20 smokers (S+CP) and 20 nonsmokers (S-CP)) and 40 periodontally healthy subjects (20 smokers (S+PH) and 20 nonsmokers (S-PH)), comprising 80 subjects, were included in this study. Baseline GCF samples were obtained from all subjects and clinical periodontal measurements, including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI), were recorded. In patients who had received initial periodontal therapy, GCF samples were obtained and all clinical periodontal measurements were recorded again during the 6th-8th weeks. GCF PGRP-1 levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Read the detailed description

Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are one of the antimicrobial peptides that play a role in innate immunity and act against the bacterial cell wall. Smoking is the most important environmental risk factor for periodontitis. This study determined the effect of smoking on PGRP-1 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in smokers and nonsmokers with chronic periodontitis (CP) following initial periodontal therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Initial periodontal therapyOther

    Scaling and root planing and polishing with specific curettes were performed to patients with CP and oral hygiene education was provided to each patient.

Study groups in NCT03915730
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Smokers with chronic periodontitisExperimentalPatients who had teeth with 30% periodontal bone loss, presence of at least two nonadjacent sites per quadrant with probing pocket depths of ≥5 mm, and bleeding on probing were assigned as chronic periodontitis group Patients who have smoked for at least 10 years and a minimum of 10 cigarettes per day were assigned as current smokers.
Receives: Other: Initial periodontal therapy
Non-smokers with chronic periodontitisExperimentalPatients who had teeth with 30% periodontal bone loss, presence of at least two nonadjacent sites per quadrant with probing pocket depths of ≥5 mm, and bleeding on probing were assigned as chronic periodontitis group Never smoked patients were included into the nonsmoker group
Receives: Other: Initial periodontal therapy
Smokers with periodontal healthyNo interventionIndividuals were diagnosed periodontally healthy as without attachment loss, periodontal disease history, whole mouth bleeding scores of <10% and a probing depth of ≤3 mm Patients who have smoked for at least 10 years and a minimum of 10 cigarettes per day were assigned as current smokers.
Non-smokers with periodontal healthyNo interventionIndividuals were diagnosed periodontally healthy as without attachment loss, periodontal disease history, whole mouth bleeding scores of <10% and a probing depth of ≤3 mm Never smoked patients were included into the nonsmoker group

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in peptidoglycan recognition protein-1

    Total amount of Peptidoglycan Recognition Protein-1 (µg) in gingival crevicular fluid

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in periodontal clinical parameter

    Clinical attachment level (mm) (from cemento-enamel junction to the base of periodontal pocket)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Initial periodontal therapy in people with Smoking, Cigarette, run by Kırıkkale 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 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 16 Apr 2019. 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?

Change in peptidoglycan recognition protein-1 (time frame: Baseline and 3 months). 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 16 Apr 2019.
