Trial summary

Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has been widely used in regenerative dentistry since it provides plenty amount of growth factors that enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration. Platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a growth factor with essential functions such as regulation of cell migration, proliferation… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Treatment Of Shallow Periodontal Pockets Using PRF As an Adjunct To Scaling And Root Planing In Periodontitis Patients, Randomized Clinical Trial

Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has been widely used in regenerative dentistry since it provides plenty amount of growth factors that enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration. Platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a growth factor with essential functions such as regulation of cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of PRF in improving the clinical periodontal parameters and GCF level of PDGF-BB.

Read the detailed description

Split mouth randomized clinical trial is the design of the study. 12 periodontitis patients with 24 opposite shallow periodontal pockets (4-6 mm in depth) will be selected. Randomization in this study will be achieved using toss of coin method in which periodontal pockets will be designated either control site or test site. PRF will be used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing to treat the test sites. While control sites were treated by scaling and root planing only. Clinal periodontal parameters were recorded and GCF level of PDGF-BB will be measured at baseline and1- and 3- month follow-up visits to evaluate the healing response to the treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Clinical attachment level

    Using UNC-15 periodontal probe measured in mm

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1-month and change from baseline to 3-month

  2. Change in Periodontal pocket depth measured in mm

    Using UNC-15 periodontal probe measured in mm

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1-month and change from baseline to 3-month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in plaque index

    Using Sinless and Loe 1964 plaque index scores

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1-month and change from baseline to 3-month

  2. Change in bleeding on probing percentage

    Using UNC-15 periodontal probe

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1-month and change from baseline to 3-month

  3. Change in GCF level of platelet derived growth factor

    Using periocol paper to collect GCF and analysed by ELISA test

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1-month and change from baseline to 3-month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PRF in people with Periodontitis, run by University of Baghdad.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change in Clinical attachment level (time frame: Change from baseline to 1-month and change from baseline to 3-month). The study lists 2 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 NCT05890157, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jun 2023.
