Trial summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about some molecules in the disease mechanism of type 2 diabetes and periodontitis. There are end products inside the body called AGEs and their receptors binding to them especially (sRAGE, RAGE) in people with diabetes in hyperglycemic state.These molecules are… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: AGE/sRAGE and IL-17 Levels in Type 2 Diabetic Periodontitis Patients

The goal of this observational study is to learn about some molecules in the disease mechanism of type 2 diabetes and periodontitis. There are end products inside the body called AGEs and their receptors binding to them especially (sRAGE, RAGE) in people with diabetes in hyperglycemic state.These molecules are important also in periodontitis (the disease of teeth that may end with exfoliation of the tooth). Diabetes and periodontitis enhance each other's disease-causing effects. Both is chronic inflammatory diseases and IL-17 is another molecule having role in this process.

Totally 64 men and women aged between 27-60 included in the study. Study groups were : 1.participants with healthy teeth and no diabetes, 2. participants with periodontitis without diabetes, 3.participants with periodontitis and controlled diabetes, 4.participants with periodontitis and uncontrolled diabetes (6.5% and fasting blood sugar levels <200 mg/dl). Researchers got saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples from diseased teeth and examined AGE, sRAGE, IL-17 levels. GCF is a fluid around the crevice of the theeth with different characteristics from saliva.

As a result AGE/sRAGE ratio and IL-17 levels of diseased groups were higher than healthy group, while sRAGE levels were significantly lower in GCF samples. Researchers concluded that GCF and saliva AGE/sRAGE ratio may represent as a biomarker in periodontitis patients with uncontrolled diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Hacettepe 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 4 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 23 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 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?

AGEs/RAGE ratio, IL-17 level in GCF and saliva (time frame: 3 to 6 months). 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?
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 23 Jul 2024.
