About this study

Official title: Application of Extracorporeal Shockwaves on Human Gingival Fibroblasts in Vitro Study

The idea of treating different deformities or diseases in the maxillofacial region with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has recently become popular. Shockwave therapy was first introduced in Germany in 1980s and has been widely used in medical practice for the management of urolithiasis, cholelithiasis and in head and neck region for sialolithiasis.

The present study 'Application of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on human gingival derived fibroblasts In-vitro study' was done to explore and evaluate the effect of shockwaves. Further, these cells were assessed for Cell - Cell interaction and Cell Viability.

In this in-vitro study, 20 fibroblast cells were included. 10 samples were considered for Control group and the remaining 10 samples were considered as Test group. Extracorporeal shockwave was applied to the Test samples. They were further analysed

BACKGROUND:

Improved understanding of human biology at the molecular level, scientific and technologic advances are emerging aspects in dentistry. The idea of treating different deformities or diseases in the maxillofacial region with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has recently become popular. Shockwave therapy was first introduced in Germany in 1980s and has been widely used in medical practice for the management of urolithiasis, cholelithiasis and in head and neck region for sialolithiasis.

AIM:

The present study 'Application of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on human gingival tissue derived fibroblasts In-vitro study' was done to explore and evaluate the effect of shockwaves. Further, fibroblast cells were assessed for Cell - Cell interaction and Cell Viability.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

In this in-vitro study, 20 fibroblast cells were included. 10 samples were considered for Control group and the remaining 10 samples were considered as Test group. Extracorporeal shockwave was applied to the Test samples. They were further analysed using wound scratch assay which was used to assess Cell proliferative rate and scratch closure through live imaging. MTT assay and ATP assay was used to determine Cell viability after exposure to shockwaves.

Model description
PCS-201-018 Fibroblast cell line (n=10) would be exposed to shockwave generator depending on Test group. Control group Fibroblast cell line (n=10) would be assessed without shockwave exposure. Cell proliferation and Cell viability will be assessed for both Test and Control Fibroblast cell lines using Scratch assay, MTT analysis and ATP analysis, accordingly.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing extracorporeal shockwave device and Fibroblast cell lines not subjected to shockwaves from extracorporeal shockwave device in people with Periodontal Attachment Loss, run by Dr Prabhuji MLV 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 2 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 13 Mar 2023. 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?

Fibroblast cell lines exposed to shockwave from extracorporeal shockwave device (time frame: 74 hrs). 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 13 Mar 2023.
