Clinical Trial Summary
Salivary Bmp-2 Levels & Radiographic Measurement Of Bone Density were evaluated At Extracted
Tooth Socket in patients With & Without topical Application Of Simvastatin
Description:
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare:
'The salivary BMP-2 levels in the experimental and the control groups with and without
topical simvastatin application on wound of extracted tooth socket.
The bone density at extracted tooth socket by measuring mean gray value from Intra oral
periapical (IOPA) radiographs in the experimental and the control groups.
Method: Twenty four patients either male or female without any systemic disease, aged between
18 years to 25 years were selected. The patients were equally divided by random computer
generated numbers into experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, tooth
extraction was followed by placement of simvastatin (containing 10 mg of drug). In the
control group, only tooth extraction was done. Saliva sample was collected from patients on
days 0, 3, 7 and 40 and levels of salivary biomarker BMP-2 were measured with the ELISA
technique. IOPA radiographs were taken on days 0 and 40 to determine the bone density by
measuring mean gray values with the help of ImageJ software. The data was entered in SPSS
version 25 and analyzed. P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
