About this study

Official title: Smoking Effects on GCF GCF IL-17A AND IL-17 Levels and Oxidative Status of Patients Receiving Periodontal Treatment

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of both periodontal treatment and smoking on the gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) levels of interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-17E, Total oxidative stress(TOS) and total antioxidant capasity(TAOC) in smoking and non-smoking patients with severe chronic periodontitis.

Systemically healthy 15 smoker,15 non-smoker with chronic periodontitis were attended for the study. Periodontal status were determined by recording periodontal clinical measurements. GCF samples were collected at the baseline, at the end of initial periodontal treatment and 4 weeks after periodontal flap surgery. The data were tested statistically by the Student t and paired sample t tests.

What is being measured

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

  1. GCF IL-17A VOLUME

    IL-17A is a cytokine present in gingival crevicular fluid. Its volume calculated as microliter and changes due to inflammation caused by periodontal disease.

    Measured: GCF sampling was performed prior to periodontal treatment , 4 weeks after completion of initial periodontal treatment, and 4 weeks after periodontal flap surgery .

  2. GCF IL-17E VOLUME

    IL-17E is a cytokine present in gingival crevicular fluid. Its volume calculated as microliter and changes due to inflammation caused by periodontal disease.

    Measured: GCF sampling was performed prior to periodontal treatment , 4 weeks after completion of initial periodontal treatment, and 4 weeks after periodontal flap surgery .

  3. GCF TOTAL OXIDATIVE STRESS (TOS) LEVEL

    TOS is the measurement of oxidative stress amount and given as mmol/L unit. Its amount changes due to inflammation caused by periodontal disease.

    Measured: GCF sampling was performed prior to periodontal treatment , 4 weeks after completion of initial periodontal treatment, and 4 weeks after periodontal flap surgery .

  4. GCF TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT CAPASITY (TAOC)

    TAOC is the antioxidant amount measured and given as μmol H2O2 Eq/L unit. Its amount changes due to inflammation caused by periodontal disease.

    Measured: GCF sampling was performed prior to periodontal treatment , 4 weeks after completion of initial periodontal treatment, and 4 weeks after periodontal flap surgery .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Periodontitis and Smoking, Cigarette, run by Ondokuz Mayıs 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 3 inclusion and 4 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?

GCF IL-17A VOLUME (time frame: GCF sampling was performed prior to periodontal treatment , 4 weeks after completion of initial periodontal treatment, and 4 weeks after periodontal flap surgery .). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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.
