Effect of Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment and C-reactive Protein Levels in Hemodialysis Patients

February 18, 2020 updated by: Fabricio Batistin Zanatta, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria

Effect of Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment on Renal Function and C-reactive Protein Levels in Hemodialysis Patients

The presence of periodontitis has been hypothesized as a risk factor for several systemic outcomes, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on CRP levels and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in Santa Maria-RS.

Detailed Description

C-reactive protein (CRP) has been identified as a possible mediator of the association between periodontitis and various systemic diseases. The presence of periodontitis has been hypothesized as a risk factor for several systemic outcomes, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on CRP levels and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in Santa Maria-RS. A total of 88 patients with severe periodontitis who are on HD therapy will be included in this study. At baseline, periodontal, radiographic, blood test, and quality-of-life questionnaire will be assessed for all patients, after which severe periodontitis will be defined according to the American Association of Periodontology and European Federation of Periodontology. The 88 patients with periodontal disease will be randomized and divided into two groups. One group will receive full mouth non-surgical periodontal treatment (TPNC) and a late treatment group that will receive TPNC only at the end of the study. All patients will receive follow-up of periodontal parameters and blood collection for initial CRP assessment at 3 and 6 months after treatment. Outcome evaluators will be blind to the group the patient belongs to. Patients in the immediate treatment group will receive follow-up oral hygiene instructions and use 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash during the first week after treatment.

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

18 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Having been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for at least 90 days.
  • Have at least 8 teeth in the mouth.
  • For the patient to be classified as having periodontal disease, he must have at least two nonadjacent sites with insertion loss of 3mm or more and two nonadjacent sites with probing depth of 4mm or more.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: immediate treatment
After randomization, patients who are allocated to the immediate treatment group will receive treatment.
Procedure: immediate treatment
Patients allocated to the immediate treatment group will receive full mouth treatment, and will use 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash, every 12 hours for a week, and will receive oral hygiene instructions throughout the follow-up period. Patients will be evaluated at the beginning, at 3 and 6 months.
Other: postponed treatment
After randomized patients will be allocated to this group, they will wait for the follow-up of the study to receive delayed treatment.
Procedure: postponed treatment
Patients allocated to the late treatment group will be assessed at baseline, 3 and 6 months. After the end of the follow-up period, they will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment performed in four sessions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
effect of periodontal treatment on levels of systemic inflammatory markers
Time Frame: baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
To evaluate the impacts of periodontal treatment on the levels of systemic inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein, albumin and transferrin saturation. The patients will be submitted to the collection of blood sample in the baseline, 3 and 6 months to obtain the clinical variables.
baseline changes by 6 months follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
effect of periodontal treatment on oral health-related quality of life
Time Frame: baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
To assess the impacts of periodontal treatment on overall quality of life and oral health that will be assessed using the questionnaire Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP14) (14 items), in this questionnaire the higher the score, the worse the quality of life is considered.
baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
effect of periodontal treatment on overall quality of life
Time Frame: baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
To assess the impacts of periodontal treatment on overall quality of life and oral health that will be assessed using the questionnaire The Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) (36 items). In this questionnaires, the higher the score, the worse the quality of life is considered.
baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
effect of periodontal treatment on overall quality of life and related to kidney disease
Time Frame: baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
o assess the impacts of periodontal treatment on overall quality of life and oral health that will be assessed using the questionnaire Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) (80 items). This scale ranges from 0 to 100, higher values show a better quality of life.
baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
effect of periodontal treatment on psychological condition in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis
Time Frame: baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
ndividuals' psychological condition will be assessed using the Depression - Anxiety - Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21) (21 items).The highest grades in each scale correspond to more negative affective states.
baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
effect of periodontal treatment on psychological condition
Time Frame: baseline changes by 6 months follow-up
Individuals' psychological condition will be assessed using the sense of coherence (SOC 13) which proposes to explain successful strategies to cope with stress. For the final score calculation, the items are summed and the result can vary from 13 to 65, where higher scores represent SOC. The the greater the result, the greater the coping capacity.
