NCT06567132

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare women with polycystic ovary syndrome and systemically healthy woman in relation to their gums and gum treatment outcomes as well as to investigate the role of a new biomarker in gum disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.Is gum disease more common in women with PCOS?
  2. 2.Does PCOS affect the response to gum disease treatment?
  3. 3.Is there a new marker to identify gum disease? It is known that polycystic ovary syndrome is a low-grade chronic inflammatory disease. It has been reported that this aspect may be associated with gum disease. In our study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome will be compared with systemic healthy women. Initial gum conditions and response after treatment will be investigated. Additionally, the results will be supported by gingival crevicular fluid and saliva analysis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Bleeding on probing

    Bleeding on probing is an important indicator of gingivitis. Bleeding on probing less than 10% is an indicator of healthy periodontium and means that the non-surgical periodontal treatment is successful.

    Baseline and sixth weeks after the treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Interleukin-6

    Baseline and sixth weeks after the treatment

  • Interleukin-10

    Baseline and sixth weeks after the treatment

  • Annexin A1

    Baseline and sixth weeks after the treatment

Study Arms (4)

PCOS and Healthy Periodontium

NO INTERVENTION

Women who are diagnosed with PCOS and have healthy periodontium. Clinical periodontal indices, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid samples were obtained.

PCOS and Gingivitis

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Women who are diagnosed with PCOS and have gingivitis.Clinical periodontal indices, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid samples were obtained. Non-surgical periodontal treatment was performed.

Procedure: Non-surgical periodontal treatment

Systemically healthy and Gingivitis

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Women who are systemically healthy and have gingivitis. Clinical periodontal indices, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid samples were obtained. Non-surgical periodontal treatment was performed.

Procedure: Non-surgical periodontal treatment

Systemically and Periodontally Healthy

NO INTERVENTION

Women who are systemically healthy and have healthy periodontium. Clinical periodontal indices, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid samples were obtained.

Interventions

Non-surgical periodontal treatment was performed in a single session using an ultrasonic device and a manual scaler. Polishing was done using polishing paste and rubber cup. Clinical periodontal indices, saliva and gingival crevicular samples were repeated after six weeks follow-up period.
