About this study

Official title: Gender Differences in Periodontal Status of Depressive and Non-Depressive Individuals

There is a relationship between depression and periodontal disease. This relationship may be double-sided. A psychological state such as anxiety, depression, body image, and self-esteem may be affected from the symptoms of periodontal disease.

Read the detailed description

Background: Depression is a multifactorial disease characterized by a variety of symptoms. Individuals with psychiatric disorders seem to be more prone to periodontitis. However periodontal disease and depression can be considered bidirectional risk factors. Periodontal diseases can also be an effect on depression. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the gender-related differences in the relationship between periodontal diseases and depression in male and female adults.

Material and methods: The study population consisted of 339 subjects. Two groups were formed from these patients: 171 females with periodontal disease (71 subjects with gingivitis, 100 subjects with periodontitis); 168 males with periodontal disease (72 subjects with gingivitis, 96 subjects with periodontitis). Clinical periodontal and psychological measures were performed on females and males group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Depression level

    The differences in depression level between females and males. Depression level was determined using the Beck Depression Inventory.

    Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) consists of 21 items. Each of the 21 statements is scored from 0 to 3. The total score allows the classification of depression severity. Scores less than 10 indicates lack of the depression. The scores between10-16 indicate minimum depression, the scores between17-29 indicate moderate depression, scores greater than 30 indicate severe depression.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Probing pocket depth

    Probing pocket depth (PPD) was measured for determining the severity of the disease and clinical outcome. High probing pocket depth shows more severe periodontal disease.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Gingival index

    The differences in gingival index scores between females and males. The gingival index was recorded for determining and classifying gingival status. The Gingival Index (GI) scores each site on a 0 to 3 scale, with 0 being normal and 3 being severe inflammation characterized by edema, redness, swelling, and spontaneous bleeding.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Plaque index

    The differences in plaque index scores between females and males. Plaque index (PI) was recorded for determining and classifying oral hygiene status. The Plaque Index (GI) scores each site on a 0 to 3 scale with 0 being no plaque in the gingival area and 3 abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the gingival margin and adjacent tooth surface.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Bleeding on probing

    The differences in bleeding on probing scores between females and males. Bleeding on probing (BOP) has been used to diagnose the presence of periodontal diseases, and it is a reliable indicator of gingival inflammation. It is useful in providing either positive predictive values or negative predictive values that illustrate disease progression. A positive predictive value indicates the percentage of people who both exhibit BOP and are correctly diagnosed with progressive periodontal diseases. A negative predictive value indicates the percentage of people whose BOP test results show no bleeding and no active disease progression.

    Measured: Baseline

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?

Depression level (time frame: Baseline). 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 2020.
