GCF miRNA-223 , -214 Levels in Smokers and Nonsmokers Periodontitis Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Objective: Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease that affects a wide range of populations. However, its pathogenesis remains unclear. miRNAs are now considered potential diagnostic markers for many inflammatory diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the expression of microRNA-223(miRNA-223) and microRNA-214 (miRNA-214) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of smoker and nonsmoker with periodontitis.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective study among 42 participants: 14 healthy controls, 14 nonsmoker periodontitis participants, and 14 smoker with periodontitis. Eligibility criteria for inclusion were consecutive adults, aged 20-60 years, with stage III periodontitis grade B/C and no systemic diseases. All consenting participants had gingival crevicular fluid samples collected after diagnosis to assess miRNA-214 and -223 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- assessment of miRNA-223 & -214 levels in GCF samples in all groups [level of miR-223 & -214 are measured at baseline after the completion of all GCF sample collection carried at the day of enrollment of subjects in the investigation after diagnosis confirmation]
PCR kits are used for assessment of miRNA-223 & -214 levels in GCF samples in all groups
