Periodontal Therapy Effect on the Ratio of TNF-α to IL-10 in Periodontis With/Out DM

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Periodontitis Generalized
Registration Number
NCT06539039
Lead Sponsor
Ain Shams University
Brief Summary

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the periodontium, characterized by irreversible damage to the gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. It is prevalent among adults, significantly impacting oral health and quality of life. This study investigates the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) on the levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus type II.

Detailed Description

A single-blinded, randomized clinical trial was conducted on 36 patients with generalized periodontitis, recruited from Ain-Shams University's outpatient clinic. Patients were divided into three groups: poorly controlled diabetes with periodontitis (HbA1c ≥ 7%), controlled diabetes with periodontitis (HbA1c \< 7%), and non-diabetic periodontitis. Full-mouth NSPT was performed, and clinical parameters (Plaque Index, Bleeding Index, Pocket Depth, Clinical Attachment Level) were assessed at baseline and eight weeks post-treatment. Venous blood samples were collected to measure TNF-α and IL-10 levels using ELISA kits.
