Trial summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine if there is a relationship between different periodontal conditions (gingival healthy, stage 2 grade B, stage 2 grade C, stage 3 grade B, stage 3 grade C) and the levels of tenascin C, IL-1 beta, IL-4, and IL-6 in saliva samples from smokers and non-smokers.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Relationships Between Salivary Tenascin C ,IL-4, IL-6, and IL-1β Levels, Smoking and Periodontal Status

The goal of this observational study is to determine if there is a relationship between different periodontal conditions (gingival healthy, stage 2 grade B, stage 2 grade C, stage 3 grade B, stage 3 grade C) and the levels of tenascin C, IL-1 beta, IL-4, and IL-6 in saliva samples from smokers and non-smokers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is there a difference in the levels of tenascin C, IL-1 beta, IL-4, and IL-6 between smokers and non-smokers with different periodontal conditions? Do these biomarkers correlate with the severity and grade of periodontal disease?

Researchers will compare the saliva samples from smokers and non-smokers across the different periodontal conditions to see if there are significant differences in the biomarker levels. Participants will:

Provide saliva samples. Be categorized based on their smoking status and periodontal condition.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Clinical Measurements and Saliva Sample CollectionDiagnostic test

    Saliva samples will be collected from all patients. Clinical parameters will also be recorded. Plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) will be recorded at four sites per tooth. Full-mouth probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) will be detailed per tooth at six sites, and the percentage of bleeding areas will be recorded as present or absent within 20 seconds after probing using a binary scoring system. A calibrated periodontologist will record all clinical parameters using manual probing.

    Following sampling, saliva samples will be stored at -80°C until analysis. Concentrations of Tenascin-C, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-1beta will be analyzed by specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits in saliva samples.

What is being measured

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

  1. 1.Periodontal clinical parameters (plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI))

    The measurements will be performed using a Williams periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) and will include plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) at six sites per tooth (mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual and disto-lingual) on each tooth.

    Gingival Index (GI) Unit: Numerical score Plaque Index (PI) Unit: Numerical score

    Measured: baseline

  2. Periodontal clinical parameters (percentage bleeding on probing (BOP))

    The measurements will be performed using a Williams periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) and will include percentage bleeding on probing (BOP) at six sites per tooth (mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual and disto-lingual) on each tooth.

    Percentage Bleeding on Probing (BOP) Unit: Percentage (%)

    Measured: baseline

  3. Periodontal clinical parameters (Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) and Probing Pocket Depth (PPD))

    The measurements will be performed using a Williams periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) and will include probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) at six sites per tooth (mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual and disto-lingual) on each tooth.

    Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) Unit: Millimeters (mm) Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) Unit: Millimeters (mm)

    Measured: baseline

  4. Levels of Tenascin C, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-6 saliva samples

    Levels of Tenascin C, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-6 saliva samples (ng/L)

    Unit: Picograms per milliliter (pg/mL)

    Tenascin C, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-6 levels will be assayed with commercially available kits using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis and Smoking, run by Necmettin Erbakan University.

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 7 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 26 Jul 2024. 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?

1.Periodontal clinical parameters (plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI)) (time frame: baseline). 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?
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 26 Jul 2024.
