Trial summary

Background: To investigate the effect of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) on periodontal health, to evaluate the relationship between gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume, and GCF biomarkers such as matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP-20), and transforming growth factor-beta 1… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) Vs Periodontal Health: Evaluation of Clinical Periodontal Indexes and Biomarkers (MMP-8, MMP-20 and TGF- Β1)

Background: To investigate the effect of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) on periodontal health, to evaluate the relationship between gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume, and GCF biomarkers such as matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP-20), and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), and MIH.

Methods: The study was conducted on 40 pediatric patients diagnosed with MIH (Study Group/SG), and 40 pediatric patients healthy for MIH (Control Group/CG). Clinical periodontal measurements (plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), and GCF volume were performed. Concentrations of MMP-8, MMP-20, and TGF-β1 in GCF were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mann-Whitney U test and T-test were used for comparisons between groups. Significance was set at p=0.05 for statistical analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • Clinical evaluationOther

    In this study, it was aimed to measure the levels of MMP-8, MMP-20, and TGF-β1 in GCF together with the volume of GCF to investigate the effect of MIH on oral hygiene, and gingival health, and also to evaluate the relationship between MIH, and various biomarkers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Periodontal indexes measurement

    PI, GI, and PPD measurements were performed to evaluate the periodontal health of the children participating in the study.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. GCF measurement

    In the study, GCF was collected in the morning hours (between 09:00 and 11:00) one day after the patient's clinical periodontal measurements were complete.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Evaluation of MMP-8, MMP-20 and TGF-β1 Levels by ELISA Method

    The levels of MMP-8 (Elabscience® EL-H1450, Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Wuhan, China), MMP-20 (Bioassay Technology Laboratory, Cat. No E4139Hu), and TGF-β1 (Elabscience® EL-H0110, Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Wuhan, China) in GCF samples were measured using ELISA kits.

    Measured: for three days from the beginning of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization and Peridontal Disease, run by Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Training and Research Hospital 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 6 inclusion and 2 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 8 Jan 2025. 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?

Periodontal indexes measurement (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 3 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 NCT06764043, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jan 2025.
