Trial summary

Diabetes Mellitus is a risk factor for periodontal disease increasing its prevalence, extension and severity. Periodontal disease is considered the sixth complication of diabetes. There is a global epidemic of diabetes, including an increase of incidence of type 1 diabetes in younger patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Periodontal and Salivary Evaluation of a Sample of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Brazil

Diabetes Mellitus is a risk factor for periodontal disease increasing its prevalence, extension and severity. Periodontal disease is considered the sixth complication of diabetes. There is a global epidemic of diabetes, including an increase of incidence of type 1 diabetes in younger patients. Thus, the aim of this observational study was to evaluate the periodontal and salivary condition of a sample of patients with type 1 diabetes of a brazillian city.

What is being measured

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

  1. Periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) measured by a periodontal probe and classified according to severity

    Severe periodontitis was defined by the presence of ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with CAL (clinical attachment level) ≥ 6mm and ≥1 interproximal site with PPD (periodontal probing depth) ≥5mm. Moderate periodontitis was defined by the presence of ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with CAL ≥ 4mm or ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with PPD ≥5mm. Mild periodontitis was defined as ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with ≥ 3 mm CAL and ≥ 2 interproximal sites in different teeth with ≥ 4 mm PPD or at least 1 site with PPD ≥ 5 mm (20,21). Gingivitis was determined as follows: Subjects were considered healthy if presented PPD ≤3mm/BOP (bleeding on probing) extent scores < 10% and with gingivitis if presented PPD ≤3mm/ BOP extent scores >10%.

    Measured: one day

  2. Salivary pH and buffering Capacity - collection of stimulated saliva in 10 minutes and measurement of acidity with a pHmeter

    Normal Salivary pH = 6 to 7. Buffering capacity: ≥ 5.6 were considered as ''high'', ranging from 4.1 to 5.5 were labelled as ''medium'' and those ≤4 were defined as ''low''

    Measured: one day

  3. Salivary glucose - collection of stimulated saliva in 10 minutes and measurement with a colorimetric kit

    Salivary glucose is measured by a colorimetric kit and the values are converted and presented as mg/dL. There are no reference value for this measurement. The analysis is done by means of correlation to blood glucose levels in mg/dL.

    Measured: one day

  4. Salivary peroxidase - collection of stimulated saliva in 10 minutes, measurement by a spectrophotometer.

    The activity of salivary peroxidase is presented in Units/mg. The detection of activity of these enzymes is associated to periodontal disease.

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plaque index - measured by visual observation and classification in scores (1 for presence, 0 for absence)

    Plaque index (PI) will be registered as scores (1 for presence, 0 for absence). For control group a plaque index of 15% is considered normal.

    Measured: One day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Periodontal Diseases, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 18 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) measured by a periodontal probe and classified according to severity (time frame: one day). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02935868, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Oct 2016.
