About this study

Official title: Effect Of Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment On Endogenous Anti-Inflammatory Lipid Mediators In Patients With Chronic Periodontitis

The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of lipoxin A4 (LXA4), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva in individuals with periodontal healthy and chronic periodontitis. In addition, the investigators evaluated the levels of these mediators after non-surgical periodontal treatment in patients with chronic periodontitis. A total of 20 subjects, 10 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and 10 periodontally healthy individuals were included in the study. Clinical parameters including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) were recorded. GCF and saliva samples were obtained at the beginning of the study from all individuals. GCF and saliva samples were re-collected from patients with CP at 1 month after non surgical periodontal therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-surgical periodontal treatment in people with Periodontitis, run by Ordu 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 12 Aug 2019. 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?

Lipoxin A4 levels (time frame: 1st month). 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 12 Aug 2019.
