Trial summary

Current evidence suggests a bidirectional association between periodontitis and diabetes. Periodontal therapy improves short term HbA1c levels and is safe to perform. Most studies are focused on type 2 Diabetes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy on the Glycemic Variability of Periodontal Patients Affected by Type I Diabetes. a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Current evidence suggests a bidirectional association between periodontitis and diabetes. Periodontal therapy improves short term HbA1c levels and is safe to perform. Most studies are focused on type 2 Diabetes. Literature about the correlation between periodontitis and type 1 diabetes is scarce, since no randomized clinical trials have been performed.

The objective of the present clinical investigation is to evaluate the effects of nonsurgical treatment of periodontal disease on glycemic variability in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). The hypothesis is that nonsurgical periodontal therapy affects glycemic variability in terms of time spent in hyperglycemia.

What participants receive

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

  • Non-surgical periodontal therapyProcedure or surgery

    Non-surgical periodontal therapy according to the full-mouth debridement protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to evaluate glycemic variability measured as a percentage (%).

    Measured: 6 months after the non-surgical periodontal treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Standard Deviation (SD) of glycaemia

    Standard Deviation: the spread of glucose readings around the average (mg/dl)

    Measured: 6 months after the non-surgical periodontal treatment

  2. Glucose coefficient of variability (CV)

    CV is a calculation: dividing the SD by the mean glucose and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage (%).

    Measured: 6 months after the non-surgical periodontal treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-surgical periodontal therapy in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Periodontitis, run by University of Florence at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2024. 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 Italy. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (time frame: 6 months after the non-surgical periodontal treatment). 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 6 Dec 2024.
