Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels of Protein Carbonyl Following the Use of Lycopene in Chronic Periodontitis

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Periodontitis
Interventions
Procedure: SRP only
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.
