About this study

Official title: Determination of the Levels of Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin3A in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in Subjects With Different Periodontal Diseases

The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the concentrations of Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin 3A levels in gingival crevicular fluid in subjects with different periodontal diseases. At the same time for the periodontitis group; the purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation of these proteins with clinical parameters at the first and third months after the nonsurgical periodontal treatment.

Read the detailed description

In our study, gingival crevicular fluid samples will be taken along with the measurement of all oral clinical parameters from sixty systemically healthy volunteers (20 periodontally healthy, 20 gingivitis, and 20 periodontitis). Gingival crevicular fluid samples will be taken again after the nonsurgical periodontal treatment for the periodontitis group in the first and third months. Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin 3A levels will be determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test (ELISA). Subsequent statistical analyses will be used to interpret protein levels among different groups and peridontitis group after the nonsurgical periodontal treatment.

Possible significant differences may illuminate the future work with Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin 3A. Also, these glycoproteins may help to develop different diagnostic methods or treatment strategies for future periodontal treatments.

What participants receive

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

  • Non-surgical Periodontal TreatmentProcedure or surgery

    Non-surgical periodontal treatment includes scaling and root planning by using curettes and ultrasonic devices only in the periodontitis group.

Study groups in NCT04390997
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Periodontally HealthyNo intervention20 participants with bleeding on probing less than 10%, probing depths less than 4mm, and no clinical attachment loss which was measured by six sites per tooth
GingivitisNo intervention20 participants with bleeding on probing greater than 10%, probing depths less than 4mm, and no clinical attachment loss which was measured by six sites per tooth
PeriodontitisOther20 participants with bleeding on probing greater than or equal to 30%, probing depths greater than or equal to 5mm at least non-adjacent two teeth in each quadrant of the dentition, and clinical attachment loss greater than or equal to 4mm which was measured by six sites per tooth, and radiographic bone loss on the coronal third of root or severe (vertical/ horizontal) bone loss.
Receives: Procedure: Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment in people with Gingivitis and Periodontitis, run by Izmir Katip Celebi 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 10 Feb 2021. 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?

The level of Lipocalin-2 (time frame: 18 months). 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 10 Feb 2021.
