About this study

Official title: Detection of Orthodontically Induced Inflammatory Root Resorption From Gingival Crevicular Fluid by Proteomics Analysis: Split Mouth, Randomized Clinical Trial

The majority of previous studies for early detection of Orthodontically Induced Inflammatory Root Resorption (OIIRR) were conducted to assess individual biomarkers which are representative of single biological pathway. To our Knowledge, no studies have been employed Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) proteomic analysis to identify potential biomarkers for OIIRR. Therefore; the aim of this study is to use the advantage of testing a package of biomarkers via doing proteomic analysis of GCF which could help in making a more precise personalize diagnosis and treatments, thereby providing orthodontists additional information that cannot be deduced from clinical parameters.

Read the detailed description

Orthodontic patients with age range (18-years) indicated for bilateral maxillary first premolars extraction as part of their orthodontic treatment using specific fixed orthodontic appliance design with moderate anchorage were recruited for this study. Both of these premolars were allocated randomly to a heavy ( 225g) and light (25g) force in a split mouth design with a 1:1 allocation ratio. (GCF) was collected from the gingival sulcus of these teeth before extraction at six time intervals which are baseline, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week , 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks. Plaque and Gingival Indices were recorded for those patients at each timeline. Premolars will be extracted after 4weeks to be examined by stereomicroscopy for surface area evaluation of root resorption. Proteomic analysis will be carried out on the GCF sample. The proteomic analysis of the collected GCF will be obtained by using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/ time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS). MS spectra will be used to search human protein sequence data bases for protein identification and the development of "Protein Print" specific for these biological conditions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Biomarkers of Orthodontic Root Resorption

    To monitor change in profiling of GCF proteins associated with orthodontically induced root resorption during 4 weeks after orthodontic force application

    Measured: Baseline, 1hour, 1day, 7days, 14days, 21days and 28days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. GCF Flow Rate and Orthodontic Force

    To determine the impact of different orthodontic force magnitudes on GCF flow rate

    Measured: Baseline, 1hour, 1day, 7days, 14days, 21days and 28days

  2. Root Resorption Surface Area

    To estimate the amount of resorption area in different force groups.

    Measured: After 28 days of force application.

  3. Protein concentration in Orthodontic GCF

    To evaluate the amount of protein content in GCF of orthodontic patients at different force magnitudes.

    Measured: Baseline, 1hour, 1day, 7days, 14days, 21days and 28days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Heavy Force (225g) and Light Force (25g) in people with Root Resorption and Orthodontic Appliance Complication, run by University of Baghdad at 1 site in Iraq.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 2 Mar 2020. 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 Iraq. 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?

Biomarkers of Orthodontic Root Resorption (time frame: Baseline, 1hour, 1day, 7days, 14days, 21days and 28days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04291443, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2 Mar 2020.
