About this study

Official title: Comparative Evaluation of Autologous PRF, 1% Alendronate and 1.2% Atorvastatin Gel in Treatment of 2/3-walled Intrabony Defects in Chronic Periodontitis Subjects: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The present study is designed as a single-centre, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of autologous PRF, 1% alendronate (ALN) and 1.2% atorvastatin (ATV) gel placement with open flap debriedement in treatment of intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate which releases various growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. Alendronate and Atorvastatin are known to inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption and were proposed to have osteostimulative properties by causing osteoblast differentiation in vivo and in vitro as shown by an increase in matrix formation. The aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of autologous PRF, 1% alendronate and 1.2% atorvastatin gel placement with open flap debriedement in treatment of intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis.

Methods: 120 CP subjects with IBD ≥3 mm deep and probing depth (PD) ≥5 mm, following scaling and root planing (SRP), were categorized into four treatment groups: 1) OFD 2) OFD with PRF 3) OFD with 1% ALN gel and 4) OFD with 1.2% ATV gel. Clinical parameters including site specific plaque index (PI), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD) and relative attachment level (RAL) as well as percentage radiographic intrabony defect depth reduction (DDR) were recorded at baseline before surgery and 9 months post-operatively.

Being tested
Open flap debridement (OFD), OFD with PRF, OFD with ALN, OFD with ATV

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Open flap debridement (OFD), OFD with PRF and OFD with ALN in people with Chronic Periodontitis, 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 1 inclusion and 8 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 5 Aug 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

defect depth reduction (DDR) (time frame: Change from baseline to 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 5 Aug 2015.
