About this study

The goal of this observational study is to compare urine iodine levels of participants with/without periodontitis.

The main question it aims to answer is there a relationship between iodine levels of urine and periodontitis.

Participants will give urine samples without any intervention.

Read the detailed description

Periodontitis is a chronic, inflammatory disease with a cyclical course with active and passive periods, which may result in the destruction of gingival fibers, resorption of alveolar bone, and subsequent tooth loss, by spreading the inflammatory event that started in the gingiva to the tissues supporting the tooth as a result of the effects of bacteria. The disease is closely associated with many systemic conditions. These conditions include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, birth complications, pregnancy, puberty.

Iodine deficiency is an important public health problem by affecting 10-15% of the population due to the diseases it causes. Iodine deficiency affects individuals of all ages. When the daily iodine requirement cannot be met, a group of mental, physical and developmental retardation symptoms called "Iodine deficiency disorders" (IEB) (Iodine deficiency disorders-IDD) occur. With the obligatory iodization of table salt, which started in 1998 in order to eliminate iodine deficiency in Turkey, this problem has been tried to be combated by switching to iodized salt consumption.

The study material was used by 73 adult individuals who applied to Atatürk University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Periodontology for different reasons {1. group (H): periodontally healthy individuals, group 2 (P): individuals with periodontitis}. Urine samples will be collected from the participants without any periodontal intervention. Iodine levels in the urine will be studied.

There are studies in the literature to determine iodine deficiency and to determine the population periodontal disease status; however, there are no studies evaluating the possible relationship between iodine deficiency and periodontitis.

The aim of this study; To evaluate the iodine levels detected in the urine samples of patients with periodontitis by comparing them with healthy controls, and to investigate the possible role of iodine deficiency in the pathogenesis of periodontitis or a simple marker of disease activity in the light of these findings.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases 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 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2023. 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?

iodine deficiency (time frame: 0-1 hours of the diagnosis). 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 13 Feb 2023.
