About this study

Official title: Effect of Alendronate With β - TCP Bone Substitute in Surgical Therapy of Periodontal Intra-osseous Defects: A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bone formation potential of 400µg alendronate delivered in β-TCP in the treatment of periodontal intra-osseous defects.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bone formation potential of 400µg alendronate(ALN) delivered in β-TCP in the treatment of periodontal intra-osseous defects.

Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with periodontal defects were randomly assigned to 400µg ALN + β-TCP + saline (test) group and β-TCP + saline (active-control) group. Clinical parameters like clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, probing depth (PD) reduction, post-operative gingival recession (GR) were assessed from the baseline, 3 months and 6 months recordings. Radiographic parameters like linear bone growth (LBG), percentage bone fill (%BF), change in alveolar crest height (ACH) were assessed from baseline and 6 months radiographs.

What participants receive

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

  • Alendronate sodiumDrug

    Also called fossamax, osteofos

    400µg of alendronate sodium is combined with beta-tricalcium phosphate bone graft and implanted in periodontal intra-osseous defects as a single, local dose.

  • beta-tricalcium phosphate bone substituteBiological

    Also called cerasorb, sorbone

    beta-tricalcium phosphate bone graft is implanted in periodontal intra-osseous defects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Linear bone growth

    Linear bone growth (LBG) was calculated as the difference between the cemento-enamel junction(CEJ) to base of defect (BD) distance at baseline and CEJ to BD distance at 6 months in radiographs.

    Measured: change from baseline and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. clinical attachment level (CAL)

    distance between the cemento-enamel junction and base of the pocket

    Measured: change from baseline and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alendronate sodium and beta-tricalcium phosphate bone substitute in people with Intrabony Periodontal Defect, run by Panineeya Mahavidyalaya Institute of Dental Sciences & Research Centre.

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 1 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 10 Jun 2016. 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 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?

Linear bone growth (time frame: change from baseline and 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02795546, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 10 Jun 2016.
