About this study
Official title: Clinical And Microbiological Efficacy Of 4% Garcinia Mangostana L.Pericarp Gel As A Local Drug Delivery In The Treatment Of Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
A single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial was done to assess the periodontal status of the individuals and the presence of red complex microorganisms (RCM) such as Treponema denticola, Porphyromonas.gingivalis and Tannerella.forsythia in the subgingival tissues of periodontal pockets at baseline followed by the application of mangostana gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. The periodontal parameters and RCM were again assessed at 3rd month and compared with the placebo group.
Read the detailed description
Background: The study aim to assess the periodontal status of individuals and the presence of red complex microorganisms (RCM) such as Treponema denticola (T.d), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g) and Tannerella forsythia (T.f) in the subgingival tissues of periodontitis subjects before and after the application of 4% mangostana gel (MGA) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing.
Methods: 25 sextants (MGA group) were treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) and subgingival application of mangostana gel used as local drug delivery (LDD). 25 sextants (Placebo group) were treated with SRP and placebo gel. Clinical parameters were recorded and the presence of RCM were assessed at baseline and at 3rd month.
Statistical Analysis: The mean probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding index, plaque index were assessed at 0th day and 3rd month and compared between the groups using one way analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). Intra-group comparison (MGA) for the presence of T.d, from baseline to 3rd month and inter-group comparison (MGA \& Placebo) at 3rd month was done using Fischer exact test. In both MGA and placebo group, the presence of T.d in subgingival tissues was compared with the clinical parameters at 3rd month using student's t-test. The p ≤ 0.05 was chosen as a level of significance.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Clinical efficacy of 4% mangostana in chronic periodontitis patients from baseline to 3 months.
probing pocket depth was measured using Williams periodontal probe with the measurement of 0 to 9 mm and the criteria is as follows - 2 to 4 mm for gingivitis, 4 to 5 mm for slight periodontitis, 6 to 7 mm for moderate periodontitis and > 7 mm for advanced periodontal disease.
Clinical attachment level was measured from cemento-enamel junction to the base of the pocket using Williams periodontal probe with the criteria of 1 to 2 mm for slight periodontitis, 3 to 4 mm for moderate periodontits and greater or equal to 5 mm for severe periodontitis.
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Microbiological efficacy of 4% mangostana in chronic periodontitis patients from baseline to 3 months.
Red complex microorganisms such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola were analysed using 16S rRNA gene amplification by polymerase chain reaction for their absence as '0' and presence as '1'.
Measured: 3 months

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02880397, 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 30 Aug 2017.
