About this study

Official title: Principal Investigator

Background. Vitamin D has both direct effects on bone metabolism and an antimicrobial effect on periodontopathogens. It also inhibits inflammatory mediators that contribute to periodontal destruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between serum 1.25-hydroxyvitamin D (1.25(OH)2D3) and 25(OH)D levels and periodontal inflammation.

Methods. This study included 28 subjects with chronic gingivitis, 29 subjects with chronic periodontitis and 25 periodontally healthy subjects. Blood samples were collected from the participants to determine serum levels of 25(OH)D, 1.25(OH)2D3, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). Clinical parameters were recorded. Results were statistically analysed with a Shapiro-Wilk's test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Wilcoxon test and post-hoc multiple comparison test.

Read the detailed description

The subjects included in the study were selected from among patients who applied to our clinic, for routine periodontal examinations. Individuals who had been using immunosuppressive drugs and antibiotics for the past three months, smokers, individuals who had periodontal treatment within the past six months, and individuals with additional or supplementary vitamin D and systemic diseases were excluded from the study. In addition, since the region's level of sunlight exposure may have an effect on the level of vitamin D, participants were required to live in the region for the last five years.

A total of 82 subjects, including 25 as a periodontally healthy control group, 28 with chronic gingivitis and 29 with chronic periodontitis, were included in the study. Clinical criteria for chronic periodontitis are the formation of plaque and calculus and ≥ 5 milimeter (mm) pocket depth or attachment loss in more than 30% of the teeth. Diagnosis criteria for chronic gingivitis are the formation of plaque and/or calculus in the mouth, bleeding, and no loss of pocket or attachment. The diagnosis criteria for periodontally healthy individuals are having clinically healthy periodontal tissues or minimal periodontal inflammation, with no loss of pocket or attachment.

What is being measured

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

  1. periodontal paremeters

    Attachment loss and pocket depth were measured from the six surfaces of the teeth (buccal, palatal/lingual, mesiobuccal, mesiolingual, distobuccal and distolingual) except for the third molars. These values were calculated in millimeters (mm).

    Measured: December 2015- March 2016

  2. laboratory analysis

    Venous blood samples were collected from the patients on the examination day that were allowed to rest for half an hour and then centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min. Serum samples were separated into Eppendorf tubes and stored at -20°C until the experiment day. On the day of biochemical analysis, serum samples were thawed at room temperature and studied according to the manufacturer's instructions. TNF-a, 1,25(OH)2D3, IL-6 were calculated in pg/mL, 25(OH)D was calculated ng/mL and CRP was calculated mg/dL.

    Measured: December 2015- March 2016

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitamin D Deficiency and Periodontal Diseases, run by Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Training and Research Hospital 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 24 Dec 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?

periodontal paremeters (time frame: December 2015- March 2016). The study lists 2 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 24 Dec 2019.
