A Clinical Trial to Study the Effect of Lycopene in Patients With Gum Disease and type2 Diabetes Mellitus ("SLSRPD")

Systemic Lycopene as an Adjunct to Scaling and Rootplaning in Chronic Periodontitis Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This study was performed to assess the efficacy of systemic lycopene (8 mgms Daily for two months) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in chronic periodontitis patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is a randomized double blinded clinical trial which was performed to assess the efficacy of systemic lycopene (8 mgms Daily for two months) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in chronic periodontitis patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary outcome measures were Serum MDA, CRP and Hb1AC. The secondary outcomes were modified gingival index(GI), Probing pocket depth(PPD), and Clinical attachment level(CAL). All the outcomes were measured at baseline, 2 months and 6 months.

The results were that the Lycopene with scaling and root planing group gave:

Statistically significant results in reducing Mean serum MDA levels at 2 months and 6 months respectively.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Serum MDA
Time Frame: 6 Months Post treatment.
This unique outcome measure was assessed from baseline to 6 months post treatment by spectrophotometric estimation of serum Thiobarbituric acid substances (TBARS). The TBARS Assay measures malondialdehyde (MDA), a reactive compound formed from lipid peroxides that are generated under conditions of oxidative stress. Oxidative modification of lipids occurs with aging and various diseases, and increased oxidative stress is associated with diabetes and its complications. MDA forms an adduct with thiobarbituric acid (TBA). Results are calculated from a standard curve constructed with authentic MDA.
6 Months Post treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Modified Gingival Index
Time Frame: 6 Months post treatment.
The change in Modified gingival index from baseline to 6 months post treatment was assessed full mouth at 6 sites /tooth with Hufreidy Periodontal probe.
6 Months post treatment.
Change in Probing pocket depth (PPD)
Time Frame: 6 Months post treatment.
The change in Probing pocket depth from baseline to 6 months post treatment was assessed full mouth at 6 sites /tooth with Hufreidy Periodontal probe.
6 Months post treatment.
Change in Clinical attachment level (CAL)
Time Frame: 6 Months post treatment.
The change in CAL from baseline to 6 months post treatment was assessed full mouth at 6 sites /tooth with Hufreidy Periodontal probe.
6 Months post treatment.
