NCT03599401

Brief Summary

The main aim and objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of low dose aspirin vs omega 3 fatty acids as adjuvants to non-surgical periodontal therapy and also to evaluate the levels of pentraxin 3 and glycosylated haemoglobin in diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Plasma Pentraxin 3 levels

    Blood samples were collected by venepuncture of anti-cubital vein. 1ml of blood was collected. 1ml blood was subjected to centrifugation at 3000rpm for 10 min. The supernatant straw colored fluid (plasma) was separated into storage vial for plasma pentraxin 3

    Base line and 3 months after scaling and root planning

  • Change in Glycosylated Hemoglobin levels

    Blood samples were collected by venepuncture of anti-cubital vein. 1ml of blood was collected and was used for glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) estimation

    Base line and 3 months after scaling and root planning

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Gingival Index

    Base line and 3 months after scaling and root planning

  • Change in Pocket Probing Depth

    Base line and 3 months after scaling and root planning

  • Change in Clinical attachment level

    Base line and 3 months after scaling and root planning

Study Arms (3)

Aspirin Group (Group I)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

14 Patients in Group I underwent scaling and root planing using ultrasonic scalers after which 75 mgms of Aspirin was administered orally, once daily for 3 months

Other: Scaling and root planing

Omega 3 Fatty acid Group (Group II)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

14 Patients in Group II were given 500 mgms of Omega 3 Fatty Acid orally, twice daily for 3 months after scaling and root planing using ultrasonic scalers.

Other: Scaling and root planing

Placebo Group (Group III)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

14 Patients in Group III was given Placebo, which was administered orally, twice daily for 3 months after scaling and root planing using ultrasonic scalers.

Other: Scaling and root planing

Interventions

Scaling and root planing was done by using ultrasonic scalers with high speed suction apparatus to prevent aerosol contamination. .

Also known as: Nonsurgical periodontal therapy
