About this study

Official title: Biomarkers Expression in Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Accelerated Tooth Movement

Gingival Crevicular Fluid samples will be collected using periopapers after accelerated tooth movement technique, results will be assessed with biomarkers levels done using ELISA Assays

Read the detailed description

For this prospective study, 22 individuals were selected, with skeletal discrepancies randomly divided into two groups: 1 - accelerated tooth movement technique (ATMT) and 2 - Control.

Orthodontic records done in two times, initial and preoperative; Gingival Crevicular Fluid samples will be collected using periopapers in 7 times (1, 2, 7, 14, 28 days and after space closure- end of orthodontic treatment movement activation).

Flapless cortical perforations will be made in ATMT Group after dental extraction. Surgical protocol will be flapless to preserve periodontal health.

After extraction space closure, results will be assessed by clinical effects with biological markers levels:

CCL3/MIP-1 alpha, CCL5/RANTES, CXCL8/IL8, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL6, TNF-alpha, TRANCE/RANK L, OCN OPG IL-10 VEGF TGF-ℬ

Those biomarkers levels will be performed using ELISA Assays. After collecting data, the results will be statistically analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk and, posteriorly, T-student or Wilcoxon.

Being tested

Study groups in NCT02887547
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlNo interventionControl group, with traditional orthodontic mechanics for anterior retraction. Crevicular fluid will be collected during anterior retraction mechanics to identified biomarkers in the inflammatory process
AccelerationExperimentalGroup with micro-osteoperforation for accelerated tooth movement during anterior retraction, Crevicular fluid will be collected during anterior retraction mechanics to identified biomarkers in the inflammatory process
Receives: Procedure: micro-osteoperforation

What is being measured

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

  1. Inflammatory Cytokines ad Chemokines Detection Assay

    Measure the different levels of listed cytokines and chemokines after starting the anterior retraction

    Measured: 8 months

  2. Bone remodeling markers in GCF samples

    Measure the different levels of resorption biomarkers and bone formation after starting the anterior retraction

    Measured: 8 monnths

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing micro-osteoperforation in people with Cytokine Measurements and Orthodontic Space Closure, run by University of Sao Paulo.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Inflammatory Cytokines ad Chemokines Detection Assay (time frame: 8 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Jul 2019.
