Study population: Patients who applied to Akdeniz University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Periodontology between 19/02/2019 and 25/11/2019 were included.

Who may be able to join

  • For the periodontitis group, intraoral examination shows inflammation in the gums, supragingival and by observing the formation of subgingival tartar and microbial dental plaque and pockets, Diagnosis of periodontitis means that there is a vertical or detection of horizontal bone loss (Periodontitis group),

  • Individuals with any systemic disease,
  • Individuals who have received periodontal treatment in the last 6 months,
  • Individuals who have used antibiotics in the last 6 months
  • Individuals in whom local factors that increase destruction such as fillings and crowns are observed in areas with periodontal pocket formation.

About this study

Official title: Gingival Crevicular Fluid(GCF) Bactericidal Permeability Protein (BPI) and Interleukin(IL)-1 Beta Levels and Relationship With Periodontal Disease

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the amounts of BPI (Bactericidal permeability protein) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in gingival fluid samples obtained from individuals with periodontally healthy and periodontal disease, to compare these amounts between study groups, and to evaluate their relationship with clinical parameters. In cases where clinical parameters increase, IL-1β amounts also increase significantly. The amount of IL-1β in individuals with periodontal disease is significantly higher compared to healthy individuals. There is positive correlation between BPI and clinical parameters. The amount of BPI in individuals with periodontal disease is significantly higher than in healthy individuals. More studies are needed to better understand the importance and therapeutic effect of BPI in periodontitis

Read the detailed description

Systemically healthy and non-smoking participants were included in the study. The study groups included a total of 100 participants, 50 of whom were periodontally healthy (healthy group) and 50 with periodontal disease (periodontitis) group). The clinical parameters of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were measured.

The gingival fluid samples were taken in the direction of the paper strip and ELISA method was used for their analysis. A positive, statistically significant relationship was found between IL-1β levels and all clinical parameters (PI, GI, PD, CAL, BOP) (p<0,01). Likewise, there is a positive and significant relationship between BPI levels and clinical parameters (p<0,01).

There is a statistically significant positive correlation between GCF volume and clinical parameters PI (r: 0,722), GI (r: 0,740), PD (r: 0,742), CAL (r: 0,751) and BOP (r: 0.752) (p < 0.01). In the comparison between the groups, it is seen that both IL-1β and BPI levels were statistically significantly higher in the periodontitis group compared to the healthy group (p < 0,001).

What is being measured

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

  1. Gingival Crevicular Fluid Bactericidal Permeability Increasing Protein levels in periodonitis

    Protein levels that increase gingival crevicular fluid bactericidal permeability are expected to increase in the periodontitis group.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis and Gingival Crevicular Fluid, run by Akdeniz University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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 6 Mar 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Gingival Crevicular Fluid Bactericidal Permeability Increasing Protein levels in periodonitis (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 Mar 2024.
