Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 26 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • the presence of buccal Class II furcation defects in endodontically vital, asymptomatic mandibular first and second molars with a radiolucency in the furcation area on an intraoral periapical radiograph with PD ± 5mm and horizontal PD ± 3mm after Phase I therapy (SRP)
  • no history of antibiotic or periodontal therapy in the preceding 6 months.

Who cannot join

  • systemic illness known to affect the outcomes of periodontal therapy, such as diabetes mellitus, cardiac diseases, insufficient platelet count (<200,000/mm3), or immunocompromised (e.g., HIV individuals) patients taking medications, such as corticosteroids or calcium channel blockers, which are known to interfere with periodontal wound healing
  • individuals known or suspected allergy to the RSV group or allergic to medications
  • systemic statin therapy
  • pregnant or lactating women

About this study

Official title: Rosuvastatin 1.2mg in Situ Gel Combined With 1:1 Mixture of Autologous Platelet-rich Fibrin and Porus- Hydroxyappatite Bone Graft in Surgical Treatment of Mandibular Degree II Furcation Defects: A Randomized Clinical Control Trial

Rosuvastatin (RSV) is a new synthetic, second-generation, sulfur-containing, hydrophilic statin, that stimulate bone formation in critical-size cortical bone defects adjacent to titanium implants, when administered locally in bone. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a platelet concentrate with sustained release of various growth factors, having regenerative potential to treat periodontal defects. Porous hydroxyapatite (HA) bone grafting material has clinically satisfactory response, when used to fill periodontal intrabony defects. This double-masked randomized study is designed to evaluate the potency of combination of RSV 1.2mg in situ gel with 1:1 mixture of autologous PRF and HA bone graft in the surgical treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects when compared with autologous PRF and HA bone graft placed after open flap debridement (OFD).

ABSTRACT Background: A wide range of regenerative materials have been tried in the treatment of furcation defects. Rosuvastatin (RSV) is a new synthetic, second-generation, sulfur-containing, hydrophilic statin, that stimulate bone formation in critical-size cortical bone defects adjacent to titanium implants, when administered locally in bone. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a platelet concentrate with sustained release of various growth factors, having regenerative potential to treat periodontal defects. Porous hydroxyapatite (HA) bone grafting material has clinically satisfactory response, when used to fill periodontal intrabony defects. This double-masked randomized study is designed to evaluate the potency of combination of RSV 1.2mg in situ gel with 1:1 mixture of autologous PRF and HA bone graft in the surgical treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects when compared with autologous PRF and HA bone graft placed after open flap debridement (OFD).

Material and methods 105 patients with mandibular buccal Class II furcation defects were randomly allotted and treated either with, OFD and placebo gel: Group 1, or OFD + autologous PRF and porus-HA bone graft: Group 2, or OFD + RSV 1.2mg in situ gel combined with autologous PRF and porus-HA bone graft: Group 3. Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline before SRP and at 9 months; they included modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD), and relative vertical (RVAL) and horizontal (RHAL) attachment levels. At baseline and after 9 months, radiographic assessment of bone defect fill was performed postoperatively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin and platelet rich fibrin in people with Furcation Defects, run by Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2015. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

BONE FILL (time frame: 9 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.

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 Feb 2015.
