Trial summary

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory process that can result in tooth loss and also is considered a modifying factor for systemic health. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 is the major collagenase of periodontal tissue breakdown. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 25 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Healthy controls (n=23) includes volunteers with clinically healthy periodontium who had BOP < 10% and PD ≤ 3 mm, no sites with > 1 mm attachment loss, no radiographic sign of alveolar bone destruction and no history of periodontitis. Gingivitis patients (n=20) shows PD ≤ 3 mm with BOP > 50% in the entire mouth as well as no clinical attachment loss or alveolar bone loss. Periodontitis patients (Generalized Stage 3) have interdental CAL ≥ 5 mm at least 2 non-adjacent teeth, PD ≥ 6 mm and radiographic bone loss affecting 30% of the teeth or more.They show also no more than 4 teeth loss due to periodontitis.

Who may be able to join

  • systemically healthy and non-smoker individuals aged 25 to 50 years
  • having ≥20 teeth present (except third molars)
  • individuals with periodontally healthy, gingivitis and stage 3 periodontitis diagnoses

Who cannot join

  • having any systemic disease
  • smoking
  • pregnancy or lactation
  • using antibiotic or any anti-inflammatory drug or any periodontal treatment within the past 6 months.

About this study

Official title: Local And Systemic Levels of aMMP-8 in Gingivitis and Stage 3 Periodontitis

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory process that can result in tooth loss and also is considered a modifying factor for systemic health. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 is the major collagenase of periodontal tissue breakdown. The aim of the present study is to analyze active (aMMP-8) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and serum in the context of new criteria of gingivitis and stage 3 grade C periodontitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases and Periodontal Inflammation, run by Aydin Adnan Menderes 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 4 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 14 Jul 2020. 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?

Oral (GCF and saliva) and serum levels of aMMP-8 in periodontitis and gingivitis (time frame: through study completion, an average of 4 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 14 Jul 2020.
