Chronic Periodontitis
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is intended to measure hepatocyte growth factor levels in smokers and non smokers with periodontitis before and after non surgical periodontal therapy.
Detailed description
The study was randomised prospective,interventional clinical trial. The sample size for the study was 40 individuals aged between 20 to 60 years,equally divided into two groups. Group l - smokers with chronic periodontitis (test) group. Group ll - non smokers with chronic periodontitis (controls) At baseline both the groups were analysed for clinical and biochemical parameters and underwent non surgical periodontal therapy( scaling and root planning). All parameters were reassesed after 3 months. A total of 40 patients( 20 somkers and 20 non smokers) from the outpatient wing of department of periodontics, Panineeya mahavidyalaya institute of dental sciences and research centre diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and willing to participate in the study. Clicical parameters included gingival index and periodontal index. Biochmeical parameters included plasma hepatocyte growth factor.
Interventions
OTHERNSPT
NSPT was done by ultrasonic scalers after administration of pre procedural mouth rinse in the test group (20 smokers with chronic periodontitis).Clinical parameters (GI,PI) were assessed at baseline and at the end of 3 months.2 ml blood was drawn to assess the plasma hepatocyte growth factor levels at baseline and at the end of 3 months.
OTHERScaling and root planing
Scaling and root planing was done by ultrasonic scalers after administration of pre procedural mouth rinse in the control group (20 non smokers with chronic periodontitis).Clinical parameters (GI,PI) were assessed at baseline and at the end of 3 months.2 ml blood was drawn to assess the plasma hepatocyte growth factor levels at baseline and at the end of 3 months.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Primary outcome of the study was to measure plasma heaptocyte growth factor level | baseline, 3 months | The change in plasma hepatocyte growth factor level was measured at baseline and at the end of 3 months after scaling and root planing.2 ml blood was drawn from the patient to assess the hepatocyte growth factor levels.biochemical analysis was done by ELISA test i.e., blood samples from both smokers and non smokers with chronic periodontitis were taken at baseline and at the end of 3 monthd |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| gingival index | baseline and 3 months | The secondary outcome of the study is to measure gingival index at baseline and 3 months after scaling and root planing. gingival index was assesed using williams periodontal probe |
| periodontal index | baseline and 3 months | The secondary outcome of the study is to measure periodontal index at baseline and 3 months after scaling and root planing. periodontal index was assesed using williams periodontal probe |
