About this study

Human periodontitis is a group of highly prevalent oral inflammatory diseases and infections with relatively easy treatment and preventive features. The present study is aimed to determine if treating human individuals with chronic periodontitis, along with the use of antibiotics, reduces cardiovascular risk marker (HsPCR) and also intends to identify if severity of periodontitis could be associated with a raise of systemic inflammatory biomarkers on baseline.

Being tested
Scaling and root planing plus Azithromycin, Scaling and root planing plus placebo
Medical subject headings
Chronic Periodontitis

What is being measured

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

  1. EFFECTS OF PERIODONTAL TREATMENT ALONG WITH THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS OVER HIGH SENSITIVE C-REACTIVE PROTEIN.

    High sensitive C reactive protein - hs-PCR levels evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy alone or with azithromycin on levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs CRP) in patients with chronic periodontitis

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF PERIODONTAL TREATMENT ALONG WITH THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS OVER LIPIDIC PROFILE

    evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy alone or with azithromycin on levels of profile lipidic (Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL) in patients with chronic periodontitis

    Measured: 3 months

  2. STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF PERIODONTAL TREATMENT ALONG WITH THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS OVER GLYCEMIA LEVELS

    evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy alone or with azithromycin on levels of glycemia in patients with chronic periodontitis

    Measured: 3 months

  3. STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF PERIODONTAL TREATMENT ALONG WITH THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS OVER BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY

    evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy alone or with azithromycin on blood biochemistry (arterial index, hemogram) in patients with chronic periodontitis.

    Measured: 3 MONTHS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling and root planing plus Azithromycin in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Universidad del Valle, Colombia at 1 site in Colombia.

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

EFFECTS OF PERIODONTAL TREATMENT ALONG WITH THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS OVER HIGH SENSITIVE C-REACTIVE PROTEIN. (time frame: 3 months). 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.
