About this study

Official title: Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Serum Levels of Visfatin in Periodontal Diseases Before and After Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment

The purpose of this study was to evaluate visfatin levels in different stages of periodontal diseases and health, moreover the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on visfatin levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) and Serum.

Read the detailed description

Total of 45 patients were divided into three groups based on their clinical and radiographical examination. Group 1 chronic periodontitis (n: 15), group 2 plaque induced gingivitis (n: 15) and group 3 Periodontal health (n: 15). GCF and serum samples were collected before treatment and 1, 3, 6 months after treatment and were assayed using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay kit.

Being tested
Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment.
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment.Procedure or surgery

    Non-surgical periodontal therapy is an anti-infective therapy which includes both mechanical and chemotherapeutic approaches to minimize or eliminate microbial biofilm, the primary etiology of gingivitis and periodontitis

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 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 26 Nov 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.

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?

Visfatin levels: Change after periodontal treatment both in serum and GCF (time frame: baseline, 1, 3 and 6 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 26 Nov 2015.
