Detailed Description
Epilepsy is one of the most commonly encountered neurological conditions. Approximately one-third of the patients affected by this disease need to have life-long treatment with antiepileptic drugs(AEDs) . Various studies have shown that AEDs are major risk factors for bone diseases not only in institutionalized individuals and those having low Vitamin-D consumption, reduced sunlight exposure and diminished physical activity but also in non-institutionalized patients, well-nourished ambulatory adults, postmenopausal women, older men and children with this disease.The earliest reports regarding the negative effect of antiepileptic drugs on bone metabolism date back to the late 1960s. Various studies have been performed to explore the relationship between AEDs and bone metabolism but findings remain inconclusive.
AEDs are given as either monotherapy or polytherapy. In monotherapy, the antiepileptic drugs which are most commonly associated with altered bone metabolism include carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone and phenobarbitone. New generation AEDs such as lamotrigine(LTG), topiramate, levetiracetam(LEV) are approved to be used as both antiepileptic monotherapy as well as adjuvants in combination with other AEDs. Some studies showed a negative influence of these new AEDs on bone health while other studies reported contradictory findings.
Biochemical indices are used for the measurement of blood concentration of calcium ,phosphorus, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone,bone remodelling markers like receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin(OPG). All these markers identify the patients with bone disease in an indirect way. Bone mineral density (BMD) tests have utility in detecting osteoporosis, assessing risk for bone fracture and also monitoring the response to osteoporosis therapy. Values of BMD test depend upon bone mineral content(BMC) and bone size. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a painless, non-invasive and easy to use technique for detection of bone mineral density (BMD) with the added benefit of low radiation exposure. It was earlier demonstrated that AEDs possess the property of enzyme induction activity through hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme system, and this was held causative for metabolic bone diseases by increasing vitamin D metabolism, secondary type hypocalcemia and hyperparathyroidism. However, various studies have reported that both non-enzyme inducing and enzyme inducing AEDs have the potential to result in metabolic bone disease.
R.A. Seymour et al. (1985) conducted a study in which they investigated the periodontal health of adult patients with epilepsy matched in two groups and treated with either sodium valproate or phenytoin drug therapy. They reported that significantly less bone loss was observed in the phenytoin group than those on sodium valproate or the control patients. The limitation of this study was a small sample size and selection of anterior teeth only for recording periodontal parameters and alveolar bone loss.
The present study has been designed with the aim to compare bone mineral density, periodontal parameters and marginal alveolar bone levels in individuals who are on antiepileptic drugs - either sodium valproate or levetiracetam as monotherapy or on a combination regime of both the drugs(sodium valproate and levetiracetam) for at least 1 year with systemically healthy individuals. The present cross-sectional study will be conducted in the Department of periodontology, Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Rohtak in collaboration with Department of neurology, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Bone mineral density
Time Frame: 1year
|
DUAL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY (DEXA)- There are two s.d.
scores, T-scores and Z-scores.
The T-scores compare the BMD values obtained with a sex-matched and race matched population at peak BMD, while the Z-scores compare the BMD measurements with an age-matched population.
According to the WHO, patients with scores that are 1 - 2.5 s.d.
below normal DEXA-values have osteopenia, while those with values >2.5 s.d.
below normal values are described as osteoporotic.
When evaluating DEXA scans, 1 s.d.
represents a T-score of 1.
Thus, a patient with an s.d. of 3 below normal (i.e., osteoporosis) will have a T-score of -3.

Marginal alveolar bone levels
Time Frame: 1 year
|
By using RVG with the help of XCP-film holder, levels of marginal bone will be measured from Cemento-enamel junction to crest of alveolar bone on mesial and distal aspect of index teeth (first molar of each quadrant and central and lateral incisors of 2nd and 4th quadrant) Index teeth for scoring will be 1st molar from each quadrant and central and lateral incisor of 2nd and 4th quadrant.
If index teeth are missing then we will take adjacent teeth as index teeth in our study.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Plaque Index (PI)
Time Frame: 1year
|
Plaque index by Silness and Loe(1964) will be used for assessment of plaque. For the scoring, a mouth mirror, an explorer and a light source will be used on air dried teeth and gingiva. Criteria for recording the scores will be as follows. SCORE CRITERIA 0 No plaque
24 3 Abundance of soft matter on tooth and/or on the gingival margin. |
1year
|
Gingival Index (GI)
Time Frame: 1year
|
Gingival Index by Loe and Silness (1963) will be used for assessment of severity of gingival inflammation. For the scoring, a mouth mirror, a probe and a light source will be used on air dried teeth and gingiva. Criteria for recording the scores: Score Criteria 0 Absence of inflammation/normal gingiva.
Diagnosis of gingivitis will be assigned when BOP was present at >50% of all sites and PD was <3 mm at ≥90% of the measured sites but ≤1 site had PD >4 mm and CAL≤1 mm and no clinical and/or radiographic sign of periodontitis will be evident. |
1year
|
Bleeding On Probing (BOP)
Time Frame: 1year
|
BOP will be recorded as 1 (present) if it occurred within 15 sec of probing and 0 (absent) if no bleeding occurred.
It will be calculated in %.
After adding all the scores, total score will be divided by the total no. of surfaces accessed and multiplied by 100.
It will be designed as % sites with bleeding on probing.
|
1year
|
Pocket Probing Depth (PPD)
Time Frame: 1year
|
Probing pocket depth will be measured as the distance from the gingival margin to the base of the clinical pocket.
The probing depth measurements will be assessed using a calibrated manual periodontal probe (PCP-UNC 15 Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA).
The probe will be inserted with a firm, gentle pressure to the bottom of the pocket and maintained parallel to the vertical axis of the tooth.
Measurements will be noted at 6 sites of involved tooth - mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, disto-lingual.
Measurements will be rounded to the nearest whole millimetre.
|
1year
|
Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL)
Time Frame: 1year
|
Clinical Attachment Level will be measured as the distance between the base of the clinical pocket and the cemento-enamel junction(CEJ).Measurements will be made at 6 sites of involved tooth- mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, disto-lingual using UNC-15 probe.
Measurements will be rounded to the nearest whole millimetre.
Distance of base of the pocket from gingival margin, distance of free gingival margin from CEJ.
