About this study

Official title: Salivary Bmp-2 Levels And Radiographic Measurement Of Bone Density At Extracted Tooth Socket In Patients With And Without Topical Application Of Simvastatin

Salivary Bmp-2 Levels \& Radiographic Measurement Of Bone Density were evaluated At Extracted Tooth Socket in patients With \& Without topical Application Of Simvastatin

Read the detailed description

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare:

'The salivary BMP-2 levels in the experimental and the control groups with and without topical simvastatin application on wound of extracted tooth socket.

The bone density at extracted tooth socket by measuring mean gray value from Intra oral periapical (IOPA) radiographs in the experimental and the control groups.

Method: Twenty four patients either male or female without any systemic disease, aged between 18 years to 25 years were selected. The patients were equally divided by random computer generated numbers into experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, tooth extraction was followed by placement of simvastatin (containing 10 mg of drug). In the control group, only tooth extraction was done. Saliva sample was collected from patients on days 0, 3, 7 and 40 and levels of salivary biomarker BMP-2 were measured with the ELISA technique. IOPA radiographs were taken on days 0 and 40 to determine the bone density by measuring mean gray values with the help of ImageJ software. The data was entered in SPSS version 25 and analyzed. P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Simvastatin 10mg in people with Bone Injury, run by Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lahore at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 11 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 11 May 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 Pakistan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Salivary BMP-2 Levels (time frame: At start of study). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 May 2022.
