Determination of the Levels of Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin3A
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the concentrations of Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin 3A levels in gingival crevicular fluid in subjects with different periodontal diseases. At the same time for the periodontitis group; the purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation of these proteins with clinical parameters at the first and third months after the nonsurgical periodontal treatment.

Detailed Description
In our study, gingival crevicular fluid samples will be taken along with the measurement of all oral clinical parameters from sixty systemically healthy volunteers (20 periodontally healthy, 20 gingivitis, and 20 periodontitis). Gingival crevicular fluid samples will be taken again after the nonsurgical periodontal treatment for the periodontitis group in the first and third months. Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin 3A levels will be determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test (ELISA). Subsequent statistical analyses will be used to interpret protein levels among different groups and peridontitis group after the nonsurgical periodontal treatment.
Possible significant differences may illuminate the future work with Lipocalin-2 and Semaphorin 3A. Also, these glycoproteins may help to develop different diagnostic methods or treatment strategies for future periodontal treatments.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Periodontally Healthy 20 participants with bleeding on probing less than 10%, probing depths less than 4mm, and no clinical attachment loss which was measured by six sites per tooth |
|
No Intervention: Gingivitis 20 participants with bleeding on probing greater than 10%, probing depths less than 4mm, and no clinical attachment loss which was measured by six sites per tooth |
|
Other: Periodontitis 20 participants with bleeding on probing greater than or equal to 30%, probing depths greater than or equal to 5mm at least non-adjacent two teeth in each quadrant of the dentition, and clinical attachment loss greater than or equal to 4mm which was measured by six sites per tooth, and radiographic bone loss on the coronal third of root or severe (vertical/ horizontal) bone loss. |
Procedure: Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment
Non-surgical periodontal treatment includes scaling and root planning by using curettes and ultrasonic devices only in the periodontitis group.
