简要总结
PCOS is a widely reported condition among young female population and anti-androgen agents are increasingly being used as part of the medical management of such cases. However, Clinical studies have reported higher prevalence of gingival inflammation, loss of attachment and gingival enlargement in women taking hormone based oral contraceptives. Additionally, CPA has been reported to have an osteoclastic action. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the effects of these medications on the periodontal condition of PCOS patients having gingivitis, who already are pre-disposed to systemic inflammation. Therefore, the present study aims to longitudinally evaluate the effect of CPA/EE combination regimen on the periodontal status of female patients diagnosed with PCOS with pre-existing gingivitis..
详细描述
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine, reproductive and metabolic condition, affecting women of reproductive age globally with a worldwide prevalence ranging from 5-15%. PCOS is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation and is characterised by elevation of multiple markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein (CRP), proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, white blood cell count as well as increased oxidative stress.CRP is a serologic marker of systemic inflammation that has been associated with increased risk for various systemic diseases. Gingivitis has been linked to elevated CRP levels. Also, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are associated with PCOS.
It has been hypothesised that PCOS might exacerbate the periodontal condition that is caused by dental plaque, through various pathophysiological links, namely, low-grade systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance (IR), advanced glycation end products (AGE), and systemic hormonal levels. Evidence has suggested that periodontal disease causes chronic subclinical inflammation leading to Insulin resistance, initiating the development of type 2 diabetes, which in turn is a prominent feature in PCOS. Hence, a two-way relationship between PCOS and periodontal disease is currently being explored.
The imbalance of Luteinizing Hormone(LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in women with PCOS explains the rationale for treatment with combined hormonal treatment.One such therapy is cyproterone acetate (CPA) 2 mg, combined with EE 35 µg. CPA is a steroidal antiandrogen progestogen while EE is one of the most potent oral estrogens .EE enhances the action of CPA by increasing sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels, which leads to a reduction in free testosterone and thus adds to the antiandrogenic action of CPA.
Receptors for estrogen have been demonstrated in the gingiva and periodontal connective tissue cells .The use of hormonal contraceptives by women has been reported to influence periodontal disease progression. While the effects of different contraceptive combinations and/or oral hypoglycemics on the periodontal condition of female patients diagnosed with PCOS has been explored, the specific drug combination of CPA/EE has not been studied in detail as yet. Therefore, the present study aims to longitudinally evaluate the effect of CPA/EE combination regimen on the periodontal status of female patients diagnosed with PCOS with pre-existing gingivitis.
The present cohort study is conducted in the Department of periodontology, Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Rohtak in collaboration with Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak over a period of 12-14 months. The study population comprised of female patients diagnosed with PCOS having gingivitis.

研究组 & 干预措施
PCOS +GINGIVITIS
FEMALE PATIENTS WITH PCOS AND GINGIVITIS ON CPA/EE DRUG REGIMEN
干预措施: cyproterone Acetate/Ethinyl Estradiol Combination (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Bleeding on probing (BOP)
时间窗: 6 months
BOP will be recorded as 1 (present) if it occurred within 15 sec of probing and 0 (absent) if no bleeding occurred. It will be calculated in %. After adding all the scores, total score will be divided by the total no. of surfaces accessed and multiplied by 100. It will be designed as % sites with bleeding on probing
CLINICAL ATTACHMENT LEVEL (CAL)
时间窗: 6 months
Clinical Attachment Level will be measured as the distance between the base of the clinical pocket and the cemento-enamel junction(CEJ).Measurements will be made at 6 sites of involved tooth- mesio-buccal, mid- buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, disto-lingual using UNC-15 probe. Measurements will be rounded to the nearest whole millimetre. Distance of base of the pocket from gingival margin, distance of free gingival margin from CEJ.
PROBING POCKET DEPTH (PPD)
时间窗: 6 months
Probing pocket depth will be measured as the distance from the gingival margin to the base of the clinical pocket. The probing depth measurements will be assessed using a calibrated manual periodontal probe (PCP-UNC 15 Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA). The probe will be inserted with a firm, gentle pressure to the bottom of the pocket and maintained parallel to the vertical axis of the tooth. Measurements will be noted at 6 sites of involved tooth - mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio- lingual, mid-lingual, disto-lingual. Measurements will be rounded to the nearest whole millimetre.
hsCRP Levels
时间窗: 6 months
Blood samples for the investigation of serum hsCRP will be collected after overnight fasting. Venous blood from the antecubital vein will be collected after applying a tourniquet in plain tubes without additive. Serum hsCRP levels will be assessed using a kit‡ with high sensitivity methodology in an auto-analyzer§ according to the manufacturer's instructions. The test principle will be particle-enhanced immune- turbidimetric assay, in which human CRP agglutinates with latex particles coated with monoclonal anti-CRP antibodies.
