Trial summary

We aimed to compare the oral health status (dmft/DMFT index, IDCAS-II, BEWE, plaque index, gingival index, probing depth) between normal-weight (NW) and obese (OW) children/adolescents. 82 participants aged 6-16 years were concluded in this cross-sectional study. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Erosive Tooth Wear, Caries Experience and Periodontal Health in Children and Adolescents With Obesity and Normal Weight

We aimed to compare the oral health status (dmft/DMFT index, IDCAS-II, BEWE, plaque index, gingival index, probing depth) between normal-weight (NW) and obese (OW) children/adolescents.

82 participants aged 6-16 years were concluded in this cross-sectional study. The children/adolescents were classified according to the body mass index (BMI): NW (n=41) and OW (n=41). Caries experience was assessed by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II), decay, missing, filling teeth (dmft) for the primary teeth and (DMFT) for the permanent teeth, erosive tooth wear using Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE), Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI), Probing Depth (PD).

Read the detailed description

Also, the relationship between procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), parathormone (PTH), and 25(OH)D blood biochemistry and oral health was evaluated in obese children/adolescents.

What is being measured

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

  1. the results of DMFT, plaque and gingival indies

    The results of the study indicate that individuals with obesity tend to exhibit significantly higher scores for DMFT, plaque, and gingival index as compared to those with normal weight t significantly higher scores for DMFT, plaque, and gingival index as compared to those with normal weight (p<0.05)

    Measured: 12 months

  2. the results of dmft, BEWE, ICDAS-II, probing dept

    No significant difference was observed concerning dmft and other factors (p>0.05)

    Measured: up to 12 months

  3. Comparison of demographic attributes between obese and normal weights

    Significant disparities were identified between patients with normal weight and those who were obese, particularly in BMI, income, and tooth brushing habits. Obese patients exhibited considerably higher BMI scores in comparison to those with normal weight (p<0.001).Body mass index (BMIs; kg/m2) was calculated by the pediatrician using the patients' height (meters) and weight (kilograms). BMI 5-85th percentile normal weight according to gender and age; BMI 85- 95 percentile overweight; Those at the 95th percentile and above were considered obese

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. biochemical parameters of obese individuals

    Procalcitonin exhibited significantly negative correlation between DMFT and ICDAS-II (p<0.05).

    Measured: 11 months

  2. other biochemical parameters of obese individuals

    No significant correlation was found between the biomarkers and other investigated factors (p>0.05)

    Measured: up to 11 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oral health status in people with Pediatric Obesity and Pediatric Dentistry, run by Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam 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 0 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

the results of DMFT, plaque and gingival indies (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 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 28 Feb 2024.
