June 13, 2023 updated by: Amira ragab

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Melatonin and Metformin Loaded Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Periodontal Intra-bony Defects: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of local delivery of melatonin and metformin loaded nanoparticle gel as adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of periodontal intra bony defect.

fifty two healthy patients(n=52) with at least one periodontal intra-bony defect will be included in the study, all selected patients will be motivated about the benefit of plaque control and periodontal treatment . The participant will be selected from outpatient clinic of the Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology , Faculty of dentistry, Mansoura University . The participant will be classified into four groups :group I and II are test groups but group III and IV are control groups .Patients in group I will be treated with melatonin loaded nanoparticle gel while in group II will be treated with melatonin and metformin loaded nanoparticles which will be applied weekly for four weeks after SRP had been completed and group III will be treated with placebo gel while group IV will be treated with only scaling and root planning.

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
Radiographic assessment
Time Frame: all the parameter will be evaluated after 6 months
all the radiographic parameters will be measured on cone beam computed radiography (CBCT) .The depth of intra bony defect will be measured from cemento enamel junction(CEJ) to base of the defect (BD).The Height of the defect from CEJ to the crest of bone adjacent to the defect and the width of the defect will be from highest point of alveolar crest to dental root adjacent to defect .
all the parameter will be evaluated after 6 months

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
plaque index according to Silness P.Loe H 1964
Time Frame: 6 months

Each of the four surfaces of the teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial and distal) is given a score from 0-3. The scores from the four areas of the tooth are added and divided by four in order to give the plaque index for the tooth with the following scores and criteria:

The Plaque Index System

0 No plaque

  1. A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen in situ only after application of disclosing solution or by using the probe on the tooth surface.
  2. Moderate accumulation of soft deposit s within the gingival pocket, or the tooth and gingival margin which can be seen with the naked eye.
  3. Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin.
6 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gingival bleeding index(GBI - Ainamo & Bay, 1975)
Time Frame: 6 months
is performed through gentle probing of the orifice of the gingival crevice. If bleeding occurs within 10 seconds a positive finding is recorded and the number of positive sites is recorded and then expressed as a percentage of the number of sites examined.
6 months
Probing Pocket depth (PPD)
Time Frame: 6 months
Is measured from free gingival margin to base of the pocket
6 months
Clinical Attachment level (CAL)
Time Frame: 6 months
Is measured from cementoenamel junction to base of the pocket
6 months
