About this study

Official title: Enamel Matrix Derivatives on Systemic Inflammation After Periodontal Surgical Therapy

The aim of this study is to compare surgical treatment of periodontal infrabony defects with and without the adjunct of an enemal matrix derivative (EMD) in terms of acute-phase responses, in systemic healthy patients.

Being tested
Periodontal surgery, EMD application
Medical subject headings
Periodontal Diseases

What participants receive

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

  • Periodontal surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Also called Open Flap Debridement

    After local anesthesia injection an intrasulcular flap is designed according to minimally invasive techniques. After flap elevation, careful removal of granulation tissues from the periodontal defects is performed. Scaling and root planing of the involved dental roots is ensured and finally suture is placed.

  • EMD applicationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Amelogenins application

    Application of Pref-Gel for 2 minutes and then the application on Enamel Matrix Derivatives on the surgically exposed root surface

Study groups in NCT03590093
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Periodontal Surgery with EMDExperimentalA surgical periodontal flap was elevated, degranulation of inflammatory tissues and dental debridement was performed. After carefully cleaning root dental surfaces, EMD was placed inside the infrabony periodontal defect. Suture were placed to maintain wound stability.

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/dL

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  2. Cholesterol

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/dL

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  3. Triglycerides

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/dL

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  4. HDL Cholesterol

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/dL

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  5. LDL Cholesterol

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/dL

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  6. Fibrinogen

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/dL

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  7. D-Dimer

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/L

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  8. Cystatin C

    analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/L

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  9. C Reactive Protein (CRP)

    CRP analyzed though blood sampling. Unit of measure: mg/L

    Measured: Analyzed at Baseline, 24 hours, 1 week and 6 months after treatment

  10. Clinical attachment level (CAL) at deepest site

    Changes in CAL , measured orally through clinical examination. Unit of measure: mm

    Measured: Measured at Baseline and 6 months after treatment

  11. Pocket probing depth (PPD) at deepest site

    Changes in PPD , measured orally through clinical examination. Unit of measure: mm

    Measured: Measured at Baseline and 6 months after treatment

  12. Recession of the gingival margin (REC)

    Changes in REC, measured orally through clinical examination. Unit of measure: mm

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Periodontal surgery and EMD application in people with Periodontal Diseases, run by University of Pisa at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 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 Italy. 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?

Change of C Reactive Protein (CRP) at 24 hour (time frame: Collected at Baseline and 24 hours in order to calculate the changes). 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 NCT03590093, 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 Jul 2018.
