About this study

This study aimed to investigate the effect of smoking and non-surgical periodontal treatment on gingival crevicular fluid CyPA and EMMPRIN levels in patients with periodontitis. Twenty-eight patients with periodontitis (14 non-smoker and 14 smoker) and 30 control subjects (15 non-smoker and 15 smoker) were included into the study. Non-surgical periodontal treatment was applied to all periodontitis patients. Periodontal parameters and GCF CyPA and EMMPRIN levels were evaluated during 3 months following non-surgical periodontal treatment. GCF CyPA and EMMPRIN levels were analyzed by ELISA.

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in gingival crevicular fluid CypA total amounts

    GCF CyPA levels were analyzed by ELISA

    Measured: Baseline, 1 week, 1., 3. months

  2. Change in gingival crevicular fluid EMMPRIN total amounts

    GCF EMMPRIN levels were analyzed by ELISA

    Measured: Baseline, 1 week, 1., 3. months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in probing depth

    Probing depth was measured with Williams periodontal probe.

    Measured: Baseline, 1., 3. months

  2. Change in bleeding on probing

    Bleeding on probing was evaluated the presence or absense following bleeding upon probing.

    Measured: Baseline, 1., 3. months

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 gingival crevicular fluid CypA total amounts (time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 1., 3. 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.
