About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Stage/Grade of Periodontitis

This study aimed to examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and stage/grade of periodontitis per the current classification of periodontal diseases.

142 patients (82 males/60 females) were included in this study. "2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions" was taken as basis to characterize the stage/grade of periodontitis. As well as age, gender, smoking status, and frequency of tooth brushing, medical data of the patients including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, BMI, and diabetes mellitus were obtained from the patient's hospital records. Obesity was assessed by BMI using the "World Health Organization" criteria.

Read the detailed description

In this retrospective study, dental and medical records of 200 patients diagnosed with periodontitis who applied to Baskent University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Periodontology between January 2019 and January 2021 were reviewed. Fifty three patients were excluded due to unclear or missing data, and five subjects were not included as they were under the age of 18. The final study population therefore consisted of 142 patients (82 males/60 females).

As well as age, gender, smoking status, and frequency of tooth brushing, medical data of the patients including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, BMI, and diabetes mellitus were obtained from the patient's hospital records.

Periodontal records of the patients were obtained for six different sites (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, and disto-lingual) per tooth.

Mean ± standard deviation (SD) and median (minimum-maximum) were utilized for quantitative variables, and number of patients (percentage) were utilized for qualitative variables as descriptors. For quantitative variables, Kruskal-Wallis H test was performed to see whether there was a statistically significant difference between categories of the qualitative variable with more than two categories. Chi-square test was used for investigating the relationship between two qualitative variables. For determining the risk factors considered to have an effect on the dependent quantitative variable, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Statistical significance level was defined to be 0.05.

What participants receive

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

  • Measuring pocket depthOther

    Probing pocket depth (PPD = distance between gingival margin and bottom of the periodontal pocket)were evaluated in each patient. All periodontal measurements were recorded at six sites around each tooth by a periodontal probe excluding third molar

What is being measured

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

  1. Probing pocket depth (PPD)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Periodontitis, run by Baskent 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 4 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 8 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?

Probing pocket depth (PPD) (time frame: 20 minutes). 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 8 Feb 2021.
