Clinical Trial Summary

The main aim and objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of low dose aspirin vs omega 3 fatty acids as adjuvants to non-surgical periodontal therapy and also to evaluate the levels of pentraxin 3 and glycosylated haemoglobin in diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis


Clinical Trial Description

There is an established bi-directional relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis. Periodontitis causes systemic inflammation by the entry of oral pathogens and their virulence factors that adversely affect diabetic control in terms of elevated HbA1c levels.

Host modulatory therapy (HMT) is a strategy prescribed as an adjunct to conventional periodontal treatment by downregulating inflammation and promoting protective or regenerative responses. Different drugs have been evaluated as HMT including NSAIDS, Doxycycline, Bisphosphonates.

Aspirin has the unique position as HMT drug. It inhibits prostanoid production and induces 15- epi- lipoxins which are bioactive than native lipoxins.

Omega 3 fatty acids including Docosahexaenoic acid and Eicosapentaenoic acid due to their anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, hypolipidemia and vasodilator effect, reduce the inflammatory mediators to levels of healthy tissues.

Pentraxins(PTX3) are classic acute phase proteins. They are a superfamily of evolutionarily conserved proteins considered to be the markers of acute phase inflammation. PTX3 is also known as TNF stimulated gene. It is produced abundantly in periodontal tissue by neutrophils, fibroblasts, monocytes and epithelial cells. The plasma levels of PTX3 is raised in inflammatory conditions. Hence it is taken as a biomarker. ;
