NCT03919006

Brief Summary

This study aimed to investigate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and serum Netrin 1 and Unc5b levels in periodontal health and disease. A total of 60 individuals, 20 patients with periodontitis, 20 with gingivitis and 20 periodontally healthy individuals were included. Whole-mouth and site-specific clinical periodontal parameters including probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, gingival index, plaque index and papillar bleeding index were recorded. GCF, salivary and serum Netrin 1 and Unc5b levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical analysis was performed by using non-parametric tests.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Biochemical parameters (Netrin-1 and Unc5b)

    The changes in levels of Netrin-1 and Unc5b 4 weeks after periodontal treatment determined by ELISA. The changes in levels of Netrin-1 and Unc5b were analyzed to determine as a diagnostic biomarker of periodontal disease.

    Baseline and 4 weeks after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Probing pocket depth

    Baseline and 4 weeks after treatment

  • Clinical attachment loss

    Baseline and 4 weeks after treatment

  • Gingival index

    Baseline and 4 weeks after treatment

  • Plaque index

    Baseline and 4 weeks after treatment

  • Bleeding on probing

    Baseline and 4 weeks after treatment

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Periodontitis

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

GCF, saliva and serum samples were taken before and after treatment from periodontitis patients. Intervention: Non- surgical periodontal treatment (SRP and oral hygiene instructions)

Other: non surgical periodontal treatment

Gingivitis

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

GCF, saliva and serum samples were taken before and after treatment from gingivitis patients. Intervention: Non- surgical periodontal treatment (Scaling and oral hygiene instructions)

Other: non surgical periodontal treatment

Periodontally healthy

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

GCF, saliva and serum samples were taken at baseline from periodontally healthy individuals.

Other: Gingival crevicular fluid, saliva and serum collection

Interventions

SRP under local anaesthesia, in a total of 2 clinical visits. Oral hygiene instructions including the modified Bass technique and an appropriate interdental cleaning device with dental floss and interdental brush.

GingivitisPeriodontitis

GCF with filter paper using the intracrevicular method, saliva and serum collection

Periodontally healthy
