About this study

Official title: Platelet - Rich Fibrin Combined With 1.2mg Simvastatin for the Treatment of 3 - Wall Intrabony Defects in Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of autologous Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) or PRF and Simvastatin (SMV) with open flap debridement (OFD) in the treatment of three wall intrabony defects in comparison to OFD alone.

Read the detailed description

90 systemically healthy subjects were divided randomly into three groups (30 subjects in each group, per subject one site). Control group consisted of the sites treated with OFD and test groups sites were treated with OFD with autologous PRF or PRF with SMV. Site-specific plaque index (PI), sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD), relative attachment level (RAL) and intrabony defect (IBD) depth reduction was measured at baseline and 9 month after surgery.

Being tested
Platelet rich fibrin and simvastatin, Platelet rich fibrin, Open Flap Debridement alone

What participants receive

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

  • Platelet rich fibrin and simvastatinDrug

    Three wall intrabony defect sites treated with Open Flap Debridement. 0.1 mL prepared SMV gel (1.2 mg/0.1 mL) was mixed with PRF. The PRF - SMV mixture was delivered to the defect.

  • Platelet rich fibrinBiological

    Three wall intrabony defect sites treated with Open Flap Debridement. PRF was placed into the intrabony defect.

  • Open Flap Debridement aloneProcedure or surgery

    Three wall intrabony defect sites treated with Open Flap Debridement only. No PRF or SMV was delivered to the defect.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Platelet rich fibrin and simvastatin, Platelet rich fibrin and Open Flap Debridement alone in people with Three Wall Intrabony Defects in Chronic Periodontitis, run by Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore at 1 site in India.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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 Apr 2014. 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 India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

The primary outcome measure of the study was defect depth reduction evaluated radiographically (time frame: At baseline and 9 month after surgery). 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 Apr 2014.
