Trial summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indirect effects of antibiotic combinations. SCAP viability, proliferation and apoptosis of the cells were evaluated. Osteocalcin (BGLAP), dentin sialo phosphoprotein (DSPP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALPP) gene expression levels were also evaluated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Antibiotic Combinations on Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived From Apical Papilla

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indirect effects of antibiotic combinations. SCAP viability, proliferation and apoptosis of the cells were evaluated. Osteocalcin (BGLAP), dentin sialo phosphoprotein (DSPP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALPP) gene expression levels were also evaluated.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indirect effects of triple (TAP- ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and minocycline), double (DAP- ciprofloxacin and metronidazole) and modified triple antibiotic pastes (mTAP- ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and cefaclor) on mesenchmal stem cells derived from apical papilla (SCAP). SCAP were isolated from the impacted third molar teeth of the young adults. TAP, DAP and mTAP treatment (14-day medication and 28-day medication) were applied on SCAP and viability, proliferation and apoptosis of the cells were evaluated after four weeks. Osteocalcin (BGLAP), dentin sialo phosphoprotein (DSPP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALPP) gene expression levels were also evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurment of Cell Viability and Apoptosis

    To evaluate cell viability and apoptosis MuseCell Analyzer Count and Viability kit (Merck Millipore, Taufkirchen, Germany) was used according to the manufacturer's protocol.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Measurment of cell differantiation

    To determine gene expression levels, total RNA of SCAP was extracted using the Ambion PureLink RNA mini kit (Invitrogen, US) and the Roche cell RNA Kit (Penzberg, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stem Cells and Anti-Bacterial Agents, run by Eskisehir Osmangazi 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 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 19 Jan 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?

Measurment of Cell Viability and Apoptosis (time frame: 1 year). 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 19 Jan 2021.
