Serum TRAP-5b Levels in Patients With Generalized Chronic Periodontitis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Periodontitis
Interventions
Procedure: Scaling and root planing
Drug: scaling and root planing along with antibiotic intervention
Registration Number
NCT03043066
Lead Sponsor
Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital
Brief Summary

To compare the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy with or without systemic administration of amoxicillin and metronidazole on the concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis.

Detailed Description

30 Chronic periodontitis subjects were divided into two groups- group A underwent scaling and root planing and group B underwent scaling and root planing with systemic administration of amoxicillin of 500 mg and metronidazole of 400 mg thrice daily for 7 days.

Periodontal parameters probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were measured at baseline and at 3rd month. Serum TRAP-5b levels were also measured at baseline, 1 month and at 3rd month.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum levels of TRAP-5bBaseline and 3 months

Concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b was assessed at baseline and at 3rd month using ELISA method.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical attachment levelBaseline and 3 months

Clinical attachment level was measured as a distance between base of pocket and a fixed point on the crown, such as cemento-enamel junction at baseline and at 3rd month.

Probing pocket depthBaseline and 3 months

Probing pocket depth was measured using Williams periodontal probe at baseline and at 3rd month
