Evaluation of Biomarkers Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid, Saliva and Serum for Different Periodontal Diseases

June 29, 2022 updated by: Hilal Korkmaz, Akdeniz University

Evaluation of Interleukin (IL)-38, IL-36-gamma, IL-17 and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid, Saliva and Serum for Periodontal Health, Gingivitis and Periodontitis

The aim of this study is; detection of interleukin(IL)-38, IL-36 gamma(γ) , IL-17 and matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-9 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and serum samples of periodontally healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients and the possible correlation between these values and clinical parameters of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: Samples were obtained from 90 systemically healthy non-smoker individuals with periodontitis (P, n=30), gingivitis(G, n=30) and healthy periodontium (S, n=30). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine IL-38, IL-36γ, IL-17 and MMP-9 levels in the biological samples.

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.

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.

Levels of Interleukin-38 (pg/ml) in GCF, saliva and serum fluid
Time Frame: 24 hours after taking the clinical measurements at the first visit

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.
