Trial Outcomes & Findings for Local Minocycline to Reduce Future Inflammation and Bone Loss in Periodontal Maintenance Patients (NCT NCT01647282)

NCT ID: NCT01647282

Last Updated: 2023-09-25

Results Overview

Changes in interproximal bone height loss were measured over the course of 24 months in two groups; patients receiving scaling and root planing alone in a deep periodontal pocket and those receiving scaling and root planing as well as minocycline microspheres in a deep periodontal pocket. These changes in interproximal bone height loss (mm) were determined via bitewing radiographs taken at baseline and 24 months and measured as distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar bone. Changes in probing depth (mm) were measured from the gingival margin to the depth of periodontal pocket. Changes in clinical attachment level (mm) were determined by adding the measure of gingival recession and the probing depth.

Sc/RP With Minocycline Micropheres
Sc/RP is the subgingival mechanical removal of calculus and diseased cementum from the tooth root. Local application of minocycline microspheres will be done after scaling and root planing (Sc/RP) has been completed locally-applied minocycline HCl (1 mg) scaling and root planing (Sc/RP)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: Patients included had moderate-severe chronic periodontitis with a \>/= 5 mm interproximal, posterior pocket that bled upon probing. Participating patients had a history of regular periodontal maintenance therapy and no systemic disease (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, tetracycline allergy) or medications with bone-turnover significance.

Changes in interproximal bone height loss were measured over the course of 24 months in two groups; patients receiving scaling and root planing alone in a deep periodontal pocket and those receiving scaling and root planing as well as minocycline microspheres in a deep periodontal pocket. These changes in interproximal bone height loss (mm) were determined via bitewing radiographs taken at baseline and 24 months and measured as distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar bone. Changes in probing depth (mm) were measured from the gingival margin to the depth of periodontal pocket.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: Patients included had moderate-severe chronic periodontitis with a \>/= 5 mm interproximal, posterior pocket that bled upon probing. Participating patients had a history of regular periodontal maintenance therapy and no systemic disease (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, tetracycline allergy) or medications with bone-turnover significance.

The gingival crevicular fluid is analyzed biochemically and the levels of inflammatory biomarkers can be determined. Specific biomarkers are inherent in periodontal disease and have been shown to be indicative of periodontal breakdown within a pocket. In this study, the biomarker, IL-1 were assessed for their presence and quantity within the GCF samples taken from the experimental periodontal pockets at baseline and 24 months.
