Effect of Ethinylestradiol/Norethisterone Acetate With SRP on Periodontium and hsCRP in PCOS Women With Periodontitis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
As periodontitis is known to add to the systemic inflammatory burden and may consequently contribute to progression of PCOS and vice-versa, So, controlling local and systemic inflammatory burden by scaling and root planing and medical treatment may have an effect in the management of PCOS women having periodontitis.There is no data as yet, comparing the impact of COCs along with non surgical therapy and COCs along with just oral hygiene instructions on the periodontal health of PCOS patients. Therefore, there is need to study the effect of combined oral contraceptives (ethinylestradiol/norethisterone acetate) along with non-surgical periodontal therapy on periodontal status and high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in polycystic ovary syndrome women having stage 1,2 periodontitis

Detailed Description
Various studies have been conducted to assess the impact of oral contraceptives on periodontal status and mostly present conflicting results. However, none of these studies have been carried out on females diagnosed with PCOS. Such an assessment is significant keeping in mind the increasing prevalence of PCOS as well as introduction of low-dose oral contraceptives for the long-term management of these patients. Additionally, periodontitis is known to increase the systemic inflammatory burden and may possibly contribute to progression of PCOS and vice-versa. So, controlling both local and systemic inflammatory burden by scaling and root planing along with medical treatment may have a vital role in the management of PCOS women having periodontitis. There is no data as yet, evaluating the impact of COCs on the periodontal health of PCOS patients. Therefore, the effect of hormone based medical treatment on the periodontal status of these patients, whether protective or destructive, remains unclear till date. The present study, thus, aims to evaluate the effect of combined oral contraceptives (ethinylestradiol / norethisterone acetate) with and without non-surgical periodontal therapy on the periodontal status and the levels of serological marker of inflammation {high sensitivity-C Reactive Protein (hsCRP)} among polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) women having periodontitis stage 1/2.
MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING- The present randomised controlled clinical trial will be conducted in the Department of Periodontology, Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Rohtak in collaboration with Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak.
STUDY PERIOD- 12-14 months STUDY SUBJECTS- PCOS patients having periodontitis,15-40 years of age and systemically healthy patients with periodontitis All the participants will be age and BMI matched. The present Randomized Controlled Trial will include 60 individuals of PCOS who will be divided into 2 groups using randomisation software. Generating randomization table.and allocation will be concealed in opaque envelops by another person not involved in the trial.30 systemically healthy females,age and BMI matched, will also be included.
Test group 1 , n=30, patients with PCOS on combined oral contraceptives (COCs) having stage 1/2 periodontitis will receive oral hygiene instructions (OHI) and SRP Test group 2, n=30, patients with PCOS on combined oral contraceptives (COCs) having stage 1/2 periodontitis will receive oral hygiene instructions only Control Group , n=30, Systemically Healthy (age and BMI matched) females with stage 1/2 periodontitis will receive with OHI and SRP.
Periodontal and anthropometric parameters will be measured and sampling will be done at baseline, 3months and 6 months. serum hsCRP levels will be assessed at baseline and at 6 months.

DATA MANAGEMENT AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Data recorded will be processed by standard statistical analysis.The normality of distribution of data will be examined by Shapiro Wilk test. Statistical analysis will be performed according to distribution of data. If it is in normal distribution inter group comparison will be done by using Independent T test and paired t test will be use for intragroup comparison and if non-normal distribution of data, inter group comparison will be done by Mann-Whitney U test and intragroup by signed rank test. The Chi square test will be applied to analyze categoric data. Correlation and association between predictors and dependent variables will be analyzed by correlation analysis and regression analysis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Bleeding on probing (BOP) [6 months]
BOP will 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.
- Probing pocket depth (PPD) [6 months]
Probing pocket depth will be measured as the distance from the gingival margin to the base of the clinical pocket.
- Clinical attachment level (CAL) [6 months]
Clinical Attachment Level will be measured as a distance between from the base of the clinical pocket and the cemencemento-enamel junction (CEJ)
- Serum high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) levels [6 months]
Venous blood from the antecubital vein will be collected after applying a tourniquet in plain tubes without additive. Serum hsCRP levels will be assessed using a kit with high sensitivity methodology in an auto-analyzer according to the manufacturer's instructions. The test principle will be particle-enhanced immune-turbidimetric assay,in which human CRP agglutinates with the latex particles coated with monoclonal anti-CRP antibodies.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

females of reproductive age group (15-40 yrs)
-
BMI (18.5 - 24.9)
-
The diagnosis of PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria(37), when any two out of the following three abnormalities will be present:

For Test Group 2
-
Participants will receive professional oral hygiene instructions during the trial and will be given cause related treatment after observation period of 6 months.
-
Delaying treatment will not be considered unethical because of the low risk of disease progression over 6 months (41) and because these individuals will be monitored frequently and offered immediate (rescue) treatment if their disease progresses. Such cases will be excluded from the study. Periodontitis progression will be defined as an increase in CAL of 2 mm at any tooth site(42).
-
Participants will be enrolled in the present study after obtaining written informed consent after explaining the details of the study design in their native language.
-
