About this study

Official title: Clinical and Laboratory Evaluation of Placenta Extract Gel as an Adjunct to Non Surgical Periodontal Therapy in Patients With Grade B Stage II Periodontitis

Introduction: Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent global chronic disorders. Pathology affecting the structure surrounding teeth results in inflammation initiated by bacterial aggregation and alteration in their profile.

conventional periodontal therapeutics has focused on the control of etiologic agents, thereby promoting healing, repair of tissues delivery of therapeutic agents into the pocket act as drug reservoirs which could alter pathogenic flora and promote its repair and wound healing. Aim of the study: Evaluate the effect of locally delivered placenta extract gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning in the treatment of periodontal pocket. Methodology: 30 patients with grade B stage II periodontitis will be selected from the Faculty of Dentistry Suez Canal University outpatient clinic and divided into 2 equal groups. Group I: will have scaling and root planning.

Group II: will have scaling and root planning with placenta extract gel locally delivered in the periodontal pocket. All clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment) and lab investigations (vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor) will be measured at 0,1 and 3 months. All results will be tabulated and statistically analyzed using the SPSS program.

Read the detailed description

Group I: (control group): where subgingival scaling and root planning will be performed and the pocket will be allowed to heal with secondary intention. Group II (test group): where subgingival scaling and root planing, and 1ml of human placental extracts gel* adsorbed in 30 beads of gelatin foam of 1sq. mm, will be placed into the pockets with the help of a probe to fill the sulcus to the deepest point \& coepak will be placed. patients will be recalled after seven 12 days to remove the coePak. A customized acrylic stent will be fabricated for each patient to provide a reproducible insertion axis for the periodontal probe. The stent will be grooved in an occlusal-apical direction for the above-mentioned purpose.

Lab assessment:

The area will be isolated with cotton rolls, gingival crevicular fluid will be collected using a paper point three times for each pocket, and samples will be stored at -80°.

Vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor will be measured for the two groups using the ELISA technique.

Clinical assessment:

The following parameters will be recorded for the two groups: plaque index, gingival index depth, probing pocket, and clinical attachment.(Silness and Löe, 1964, Löe and Silness, 1963) Measurements will be taken from the stent to the deepest probing depth to record. Probing pocket depth (PPD) while Relative Attachment level (RAL) will be recorded by subtracting the length of the deepest probing depth from the stent from the length from the stent to the cemento-enamel junction All the clinical parameters will be recorded on day 0,1 months and 3 months and all results will be tabulated and statistically analyzed

What is being measured

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

  1. plaque index (PI)

    PI was used to determine the amount of plaque on the tooth surface

    To determine the plaque index, Silness \& Löe reference values were taken as a basis:

    Plaque index 0: No plaque is in the area adjacent to the gingiva. Plaque index 1: There is a plaque in the form of a thin film on the gingival margin.

    Plaque index 2: There is a visible plaque in the gingival pocket and gingival margin.

    Plaque index 3: There is a dense plaque in the gingival pocket and on the gingival margin.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. gingival index (GI)

    • determine the gingival index of the patients, gingival bleeding caused by running a Williams periodontal probe inside the pocket on the mesial, distal, buccal, and palatal surfaces of all teeth was evaluated. The gingival index of an individual was obtained by summing the values determined for each tooth and calculating the averages. To determine the gingival index, Löe \& Silness reference values were taken as a basis: Gingival index 0: Healthy gums. Gingival index 1: Mild discolouration and oedematous gingiva. No bleeding on probing.

    Gingival index 2: Red, oedematous and shiny gingiva. There is bleeding on probing.

    Gingival index 3: Red, oedematous, and ulcerated gingiva. There is spontaneous bleeding.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. probing pocket depth (PD)

    Measured from the free gingival margin to the bottom of the pocket with an unc 15 periodontal probe

    Measured: 3 months

  4. clinical attachment level(CAL).

    The distance from CEJ to the bottom of the pocket. It was measured in the same way described for probing depth.

    CAL was recorded by subtracting the length of the deepest probing depth from the stent by the length from the stent to the cemento-enamel junction.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

    recorded in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL)

    Measured: 3 months

  2. fibroblast growth factor (FGF)

    recorded in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL)

    Measured: 3 months

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

plaque index (PI) (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 4 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 NCT06506539, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Jul 2024.
