Dental Restorations Effect on Oxidative Status of the Gingival Crevicular Fluid

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pharmacological Action

• Registration Number: NCT03522532
• Lead Sponsor: Ervin Taso

Brief Summary

The goal of the study was to ascertain the influence of dental caries and teeth position as well as the type and amount of the applied dental materials (DMs) on the oxidative stress (OS) status in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF).

Detailed Description

Six DMs were tested by investigators, each sealed in one session: amalgam (Amg), zinc phosphate cement (ZnPhC), zinc polycarboxylate cement (ZnPoC), glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composites, Tetric EvoCeram (TEC) and Beautifil (BF).

The study included 88 dental outpatients. Oxidative stress parameters, including malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and total superoxide dismutase (tSOD) activity were measured in GCF, before (day 0) and after treatment (7th and 30th day).

Antagonistically positioned healthy teeth were used as a control.

• Study Design: PARALLEL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in the levels of MDA in dental patients GCF after the applied treatments	0th, 7th and 30th days.	The concentration of MDA in GCF was measured before (0 day) and twice after the applied treatments (7th and 30th days). GCF was taken via the intracervical absorption technique. Control GCF (from mirror-positioned health teeth) was taken once before the treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in the levels of GSH in dental patients GCF after the applied treatments	0th, 7th and 30th days.	Concentration of GSH in GCF was measured before (0 day) and twice after the applied treatments (7th and 30th days). GCF was taken via the intracervical absorption technique. Control GCF (from mirror-positioned health teeth) was taken once before the treatment.
