Trial summary

The purpose of this study; In periodontally healthy individuals, high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels of non-smokers, smokers of less than 10 cigarettes per day and smokers of more than 10 cigarettes per day were measured at 15 rpm-10 min, 10 centrifuge values, which are frequently used in saliva studies.

About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Effect of Smoking Amount on Determining Salivary High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein(Hs-CRP) Values by Centrifuging the Saliva of the Same Individuals at Different Rpm and Time.

The purpose of this study; In periodontally healthy individuals, high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels of non-smokers, smokers of less than 10 cigarettes per day and smokers of more than 10 cigarettes per day were measured at 15 rpm-10 min, 10 centrifuge values, which are frequently used in saliva studies. To determine the levels in saliva samples as a result of rpm-10 min and 10 rpm 6 min centrifugations and to determine the values at which a cytokine of this molecular weight should be centrifuged and to examine the possible correlation between these values and the clinical parameters of the amount of smoking. Materials and Methods: saliva samples were collected from 90 systemically healthy individuals who were non-smokers (N, n=30), light smokers <10 cigarettes per day (L, n=30) and heavy smokers >10 cigarettes per day (H, n=20). samples were taken. Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements, including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI), were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine hs-CRP levels in biological samples.

What participants receive

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

  • saliva obtainingDiagnostic test

    The patient was asked to sit upright and tilt his/her head forward to collect saliva samples. İn this way, unstimulated saliva was allowed to accumulate in the floor of the mouth. The accumulated saliva was collected in a sterile container. It was then transferred to a propylene tube. The tubes were centrifuged and the clear part at the top of the tube was taken with a sterile syringe and transferred to a different propylene tube with 0.5 ml in each tube. Tubes were stored at -80ºC until the day of analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. The total amount of hs-CRP in saliva

    Measured: 24 hours after taking the clinical measurements at the first visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determining the ideal centrifugal value range of hs-CRP saliva level

    Measured: Within 1 week after receiving the biochemical analysis results

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing saliva obtaining in people with Smoking, run by Izmir Katip Celebi 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 10 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ece Özer (+90 5306958625, ozerrece@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The total amount of hs-CRP in saliva (time frame: 24 hours after taking the clinical measurements at the first visit). 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 20 Dec 2024.
