Trial summary

Background: The occurrence of many diseases has been associated with oxidative stress and disruption of antioxidant mechanisms. Temporomandibular Joint(TMJ) Disorders are also thought to develop with the onset of the destructive process in the tissues as a result of this balance being disrupted. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Markers in Serum and Saliva of the Patients With Temporomandibular Disorders

Background: The occurrence of many diseases has been associated with oxidative stress and disruption of antioxidant mechanisms. Temporomandibular Joint(TMJ) Disorders are also thought to develop with the onset of the destructive process in the tissues as a result of this balance being disrupted.

Purpose: This study was designed to compare salivary and serum oxidative stress and inflammation markers of individuals with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and healthy subjects.

Study design, setting, and sample: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted. 27 TMD patients diagnosed with disc displacement (DD) according to RDC/TMD and 17 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Prior to any treatment, serum and saliva samples were taken from the patients and centrifuged, and stored at -80°C until analyzed. All samples were examined for IL-6, MDA and 8-OHdG concentrations.

Predictor variable: Diagnosis of disc displacement (RDC/TMD) Main outcome variables: Levels of 8-OHdG, IL-6 and MDA Covariates: Age and gender

Read the detailed description

The term oxidative stress is defined as any condition that causes free radical accumulation in tissue. Oxidative stress, which is an indicator of the deterioration of the balance between oxidant/antioxidant in an organism, is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases such as atherosclerosis, aging, cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes, ischemia/reperfusion, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic inflammation. Recently, many studies have shown a relationship between the pathogenesis of TMD and various free radicals, antioxidant enzymes and inflammation mediators. Through biomolecule methods studies determine the increase of some of cytokines such as Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6 in TMJ with internal derangement. These studies emphasize the positive relationship between the severity of the disease and the levels of synovial fluid mediators in joints with TMD. Although it has been supported by previous studies that synovial fluid is a reliable diagnostic material-that reflects the pathological condition in the joint, the disadvantages of the difficulty of obtaining has led to the need for the use of another realiable diagnostic tool. Saliva and blood are materials that are easily available and provide information about the formation and etiology of many systemic diseases.

The aim of this study is to compare the salivary and serum oxidative stress and inflammatory marker levels of TMD patients with RDC/TMD type II disorder with healthy subjects. For this purpose, IL-6, MDA and 8-OHdG will be evaluated as biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Temporomandibular Disorder and Oxidative Stress, run by Bahçeşehir 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 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 14 Aug 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?

relationship between serum and salivary 8-OHdG, IL-6 and MDA levels (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 Aug 2023.
