Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels of Protein Carbonyl Following the Use of Lycopene in Chronic Periodontitis
- Registration Number
- NCT03203746
- Lead Sponsor
- Maie Sami tawfik
- Brief Summary
Effect of Locally Delivered Antioxidants as An Adjunct to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy on GCF Level of Oxidative Stress Marker; Protein Carbonyl
- Detailed Description
The study was designed as a randomized controlled clinical trial. Total subjects selected were allocated into three study groups, Group I (Test group), Group II (Positive control group) and Group III (Negative control group). Group I: Included 8 patients with severe chronic periodontitis managed by Scaling and root planing and local delivery of lycopene loaded in solid lipid microparticles. Group II: Included 8 patients with severe chronic periodontitis managed by Scaling and root planing only. Group III: Included 8 patients with clinically healthy periodontium.
Protein carbonyl biomarker level and clinical parameters were assisted to evaluate the effect of lycopene as an adjunct to scaling and root planing.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method GCF level of protein carbonyl 1 month to assess GCF level of protein carbonyl following local delivery of sustained release form of lycopene as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in management of severe chronic periodontitis patients.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Plaque index 6 months To assess changes in plaque index following local delivery of stained release form of lycopene.
Modified gingival index 6 months to assess changes in the gingival index following local delivery of sustained release form of lycopene.
Probing depth 6 months To assess probing depth following local delivery of stained release form of lycopene.
Clinical attachment loss 6 minths To assess clinical attachment loss following local delivery of sustained release form of lycopene.
Radiographic changes 6 months to assess radiographic changes in the infrabony defects following local delivery of sustained release form of lycopene.
Drug release 1 month to assess rate of lycopene release using high performance liquid chromatography technique (HPLC).
