Trial summary

Periodontitis; is an inflammatory disease of tissues characterized by bone destruction around the teeth. Vitamin D plays an important role in several inflammatory diseases by promoting the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin IL-1, IL-6, and IL-1β, which are directly related to periodontal… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Total, Free, and Bioavailable 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels in Patients With Periodontitis (Stage III): A Case-Control Study

Periodontitis; is an inflammatory disease of tissues characterized by bone destruction around the teeth. Vitamin D plays an important role in several inflammatory diseases by promoting the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin IL-1, IL-6, and IL-1β, which are directly related to periodontal attachment loss and bone demineralization. These facts suggest that vitamin D may be associated with periodontal disease. Many studies have been conducted on the relationships between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, periodontal disease, and tooth loss. However, as far as we know, there is no study on the relationship between periodontitis and free and bioavailable 25 (OH) vitamin D. In our study, over the age of 35; two groups will be formed, consisting of 40 healthy and 40 periodontitis individuals. Serum total 25 (OH) D level and vitamin D binding protein level will be analyzed by ELISA method, and bioavailable 25 (OH) D level will be calculated using total 25 (OH) D and vitamin D binding protein levels. The aim of this study; To evaluate the total, free and bioavailable 25 (OH) vitamin D levels of patients with periodontitis by comparing them with healthy controls, and to investigate whether bioavailable 25 (OH) D plays a role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis or can be a simple marker of disease activity in the light of these findings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurements of 25(OH)D

    Total 25(OH)D levels in serum samples will be measured by ELISA method, using the "Human 25-Dihydroxy vitamin D ELISA Kit" (BT LAB, Cat No: E1981Hu, China) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Results will be recorded in ng/mL.

    Measured: Within one week of collecting blood samples from all participants.

  2. Measurements of VDBP

    VDBP levels in serum samples will be studied by ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbend Assay) method using Elabscience brand kit (Elabscience Biotechnology Co., Ltd). Results will be recorded in (ug/mL.

    Measured: Within one week of collecting blood samples from all participants.

  3. Measurements of Albumin

    Serum albumin levels (g/dL) will be measured on the Roche Cobas c702 instrument (Germany) using commercial kits.

    Measured: Within one week of collecting blood samples from all participants.

  4. Calculation of Bioavailable 25(OH)D

    It will be calculated using calculations using affinity constants and calculated free 25(OH)D and measured albumin levels.

    Kalb = affinity constant between vitamin D and albumin = 6 x 10^5 M^-1

    Bioavailable 25(OH)D concentration = (6 x 10^5 x [Albumin]+1) x calculated free 25(OH)D

    Results will be recorded in ng/mL.

    Measured: Within one week of collecting blood samples from all participants.

  5. Calculation of Bioavailable Free 25(OH)D

    It will be calculated using calculations using affinity constants and measured total serum 25(OH)D, VDBP and albumin levels.

    Kalb = affinity constant between vitamin D and albumin = 6 x 10^5 M^-1 KVDBP = affinity constant between vitamin D and VDBP = 7 x 10^8 M^-1 [Albumin] = serum albumin concentration = (serum albumin g/L) / 66.430 g/mol [VDBP] = serum vitamin D binding protein concentration = (serum VDBP g/L) / 58.000 g/mol

    Free 25(OH)D concentration = Total 25(OH)D / 1+(6 x 10^5 x [Albumin]) + (7 x 10^8 x [VDBP])

    Results will be recorded in pg/mL.

    Measured: Within one week of collecting blood samples from all participants.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dental Plaque

    Plaque scores recorded by using the Silness\&Löe Plaque Index

    PI 0: No observable plaque PI 1: A thin film of plaque is detected at the gingival margin by running a probe or explorer across the tooth surfaces PI 2: A moderate amount of plaque is detected along the gingival margin. Plaque is visible clinically.

    PI 3: Heavy plaque accumulation is detected at the gin- gival margin and in the interdental spaces.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitamin D Deficiency and Periodontitis, run by Ataturk 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 3 Jun 2022. 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?

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?

Measurements of 25(OH)D (time frame: Within one week of collecting blood samples from all participants.). The study lists 5 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 NCT05343273, 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?
