ESTIMATION OF GINGIVAL CREVICULAR LEVEL OF YKL40

June 20, 2019 updated by: Dr Prabhuji MLV, Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences & Hospital

To Estimate the Levels of Gingival Crevicular Fluid YKL-40 in Patients With Healthy Periodontium, Chronic Periodontitis and Chronic Periodontitis With Rheumatoid Arthritis Following Scaling and Root Planing A Clinico-biochemical Study

The presence of YKL- 40 an acute phase protein in both chronic periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis. However, till date no studies has been done on the levels of gingival crevicular fluid YKL-40 following scaling and root planing, the present study which is first of its kind is designed to detect and estimate the gingival crevicular fluid YKL-40 levels in healthy patients, chronic periodontitis and patient with chronic periodontitis having rheumatoid arthritis at baseline and chronic periodontitis having rheumatoid arthritis 6 weeks post periodontal therapy (scaling and root planning [SRP]). This could throw more light on it and extend our knowledge on its role in both the conditions.

Detailed Description

Periodontal diseases is a chronic inflammatory diseases initiated by microbial infection that leads to a host response resulting in inflammatory breakdown of tooth supporting, osseous and soft tissue structures YKL-40 also called as human cartilage glycoprotein-39(HC-gp39), an acute phase protein is a novel potential bio marker in relation to both acute and chronic inflammations. YKL-40 is a member of "mammalian chitinase- like protein" but has no chitinase/ enzymatic activity, with molecular weight of approximately 40KDa. It is named from three amino acids of Tyrosine (Y), Lysine (K) and leucin (L) at the N-terminal YKL-40 was identified in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum among gingivitis and periodontitis individual with or without diabetic mellitus. Investigation was done in association between chronic periodontitis and diabetic mellitus in gingival crevicular fluid sample. However, the past studies have reported an increased prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis in patient with periodontal diseases. They have reported the presence of rheumatoid factor in gingiva, sub gingival plaque, saliva and serum of periodontally diseased patient. Treatment of periodontal disease has demonstrated significant reduction in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) which in turn have showed improvement of clinical indices on rheumatoid arthritis activity.we speculate that presence of YKL 40 an acute phase protein in both chronic periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis. However, till date no studies has been done on the levels of gingival crevicular fluid YKL-40 following scaling and root planing, the present study which is first of its kind is designed to detect and estimate the gingival crevicular fluid YKL-40 levels in healthy patients, chronic periodontitis and patient with chronic periodontitis having rheumatoid arthritis at baseline and chronic periodontitis having rheumatoid arthritis 6 weeks post periodontal therapy (scaling and root planning [SRP]).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

25 years to 55 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Procedure: scaling and root planing
  • After initial clinical evaluation, supra gingival calculus removal will be done. GCF samples will be collected from the control and test groups (Baseline samples) using paper strips (ORAFLOW). ® Group III patients will undergo a through oral hygiene instructions, full mouth supra-gingival and sub- gingival scaling and root planing clinical parameters will be re-recorded 6 weeks later and a 2nd GCF samples will be collected from selected test site from each patients following periodontal intervention.
