About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Long-Term Effects of Diode Laser Application on Periodontal Healing, Serum C-Reactive Protein and HbA1c Levels in Periodontal Treatment of Uncontrolled Type-2 Diabetic Subjects With Chronic Periodontitis

This study aimed to investigate the effects of diode laser (DL) in addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment on periodontal parameters, systemic inflammatory response, and serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

This study was designed as a randomized, controlled, full-mouth, 6-month clinical trial. 37 patients (20 women and 17 men) with uncontrolled T2DM and chronic periodontitis who were selected from among those admitting to Dentistry Faculty of Inonu University and Turgut Ozal Medical Center completed this study. The patients were divided into two groups. The individuals in the control group underwent placebo laser treatment in addition to scaling and root planing (SRP). The individuals in the study group underwent DL (1 W power) in addition to SRP. Clinical index measurements were performed before treatment (T0), 3 months after treatment (T1), and 6 months after treatment (T2). Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL), and probing depth (PD) were measured to determine periodontal status. HbA1c and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were also analyzed using blood samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laser group in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease, run by Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 12 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 23 Feb 2018. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Laboratory findings (time frame: Six 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 23 Feb 2018.
