What is being measured

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

  1. TNF-α level

    TNF-α level in Gingival crevicular fluid

    Measured: changes from baseline to 45 days

  2. Probing pocket depth (PPD)

    Probing pocket depth at selected site

    Measured: changes from baseline to 45 days

  3. Relative attachment level (RAL)

    Relative attachment level from stent to base of the pocket

    Measured: changes from baseline to 45 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Plaque index (PI)

    Plaque index (PI) - Silness and Loe 1964 site specific

    Measured: changes from baseline to 45 days

  2. Gingival index (GI)

    Gingival index (GI) - Loe and Silness 1963 site specific

    Measured: changes from baseline to 45 days

  3. Bleeding on probing (BOP)

    Bleeding on probing (BOP): Muhlemann HR \& Son 1971 sit specific

    Measured: changes from baseline to 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling and root planing, Amnion membrane and Taurine in people with Periodontitis, run by Maharishi Markendeswar University (Deemed to be University) at 1 site in India.

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 5 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 16 Mar 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 India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

TNF-α level (time frame: changes from baseline to 45 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04772508, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 16 Mar 2021.
