About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Application of Platelet-rich Fibrin on Periodontal Clinical Parameters and Gingival Crevicular Fluid Platelet-derived Growth Factor-BB and Periostin Levels

Determine the efficacy of the non-invasive application of PRF on periodontal clinical parameters(pocket reduction) and the levels of PDGF-BB and Periostin in the gingival crevicular fluid.

Read the detailed description

The adjunctive use of PRF with conventional ScRp may improve clinical healing, decrease tissue morbidities such as pain and discomfort, increase patient acceptance, reduce treatment time. Since PRF can be utilized as a safe, natural method to repair tissues at a low cost. Our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the non-invasive application of PRF as an adjunct to ScRp in patients with stage III grade B periodontitis through measurements of gingival crevicular fluid levels of PDGF-BB and Periostin before and after treatment and compare it with ScRp alone. A split-mouth procedure will be performed to reduce confounders as possible.

What participants receive

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

  • Platelet rich fibrinOther

    1. Intravenous blood (obtained by venipuncture of the antecubital vein) will be collected in two 10-mL sterile tubes without any anticoagulants and will be immediately centrifuged at 3,000 revolutions (400 × g) per minute for 10 minutes.
    2. A structured fibrin clot in the middle of the tube, just between the red corpuscles (RBCs) at the bottom and the acellular plasma at the top, will be separated from the RBCs using sterile tweezers and scissors and transferred on a sterile PRF box.
    3. The PRF will be then brought to a thickness of 1 mm by gently compressing in PRF box. Standardized PRF pieces will be obtained by measuring by a periodontal probe and cutting into 3 × 5 mm dimensions.
    4. The PRF pieces will be inserted into the periodontal pockets by filling the pockets from the base up to the gingival margin. A modified gingivectomy knife, of which the tip is made blunt, will be used.

    The PRF volume will be calculated by recording how many pieces will be inserted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Platelet rich fibrin in people with Periodontitis, run by University of Baghdad at 1 site in Iraq.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 29 Sep 2022. 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 Iraq. 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?

clinical parameters (time frame: 4 weeks and 3 months). 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 29 Sep 2022.
