Clinical Trial Summary

Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases, which is characterized by alveolar bone resorption and destruction. In China, as a major country in the incidence of periodontitis, there is a huge population of patients with severe periodontitis, and the incidence rate is as high as 12.1-16.1% . Previous studies have suggested that the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease increase with age. However, recent articles on meta analysis and related epidemiological investigations suggest that the prevalence of severe periodontitis does not increase with age, and the prevalence of SP remains at about 10% even in the elderly. In order to comprehensively analyze the risk factors of this population, it is inseparable from the analysis of gene polymorphism. At present, it is considered that the main genes that may be related to the severity of periodontitis are IL-1 α-889, rhIL-talk 1 β + 3953, 6-174, 10-597, CD14-260, CD14-159, MMP1-1607 and so on, which may be related to the severity of periodontitis.

Description:

Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases, which is characterized by alveolar bone resorption and destruction. In 2010, severe periodontitis (severe periodontitis,SP) had become the sixth largest epidemic disease in the world, affecting 10.8% of the global population or 743 million people . In China, as a major country in the incidence of periodontitis, there is a huge population of patients with severe periodontitis, and the incidence rate is as high as 12.1-16.1% . The fourth National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey also found that the oral health of residents aged 35-44 is generally poor , which has become a major obstacle to the implementation of the "Healthy China 2030" strategy. Previous studies have suggested that the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease increase with age . The possible reasons for this phenomenon are as follows.First, the cumulative effect of attachment level and bone loss with age.Second, changes related to the aging process, such as drug intake, decreased immune function, and changes in nutritional status interact with risk factors can increase the susceptibility to periodontitis. However, recent articles on meta analysis and related epidemiological investigations suggest that the prevalence of severe periodontitis does not increase with age, and the prevalence of SP remains at about 10% even in the elderly. In addition, the global meta analysis with large sample size showed that the prevalence of SP increased sharply between 30 and 40 years old, peaked at about 38 years old. This trend of severe periodontitis with age is not consistent with our traditional cognition, and there is no related research to explain this trend. However, it is found that 30-40 years old patients with severe periodontitis account for a large proportion, so it is of great significance to analyze the risk factors of this group and carry out targeted prevention and control. In order to comprehensively analyze the risk factors of this population, it is inseparable from the analysis of gene polymorphism. Studies related to severe periodontitis gene polymorphism are mainly focused on Toll-like receptor (Toll-likereceptors), interleukin (interleukin,IL), immunoglobulin receptor (Immunoglobulinreceptors), formyl peptide receptor (Formylpeptide receptor), vitamin D receptor (VitaminDreceptor, VDR) and matrix metalloproteinases (matrixmetalloproteinase,MMP). At present, it is considered that the main genes that may be related to the severity of periodontitis are IL-1 α-889, rhIL-talk 1 β + 3953, 6-174, 10-597, CD14-260, CD14-159, MMP1-1607 and so on, which may be related to the severity of periodontitis.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	probing depth (PD)	The distance from the bottom of the periodontal pocket to the gingival margin (mm) was measured with a periodontal probe (UNC-15, Hu-Friedy, Chicago) parallel to the long axis of teeth. 6 sites including mesial, median and distal on the lips (cheek) and tongue surfaces were recorded for each tooth.	For risk factor analysis, only the baseline is measured, which refers to the first visit
Primary	clinical attachment level (CAL)	The distance from the gingival crevicular floor or periodontal pocket floor to the enamel bone boundary was measured by periodontal probe. The mesial, median and distal sites of the labial (buccal) surface and tongue surface of each tooth were measured.	baseline
Primary	Number of missing teeth	Refers to the number of missing teeth except the third molar; Refers to the number of missing teeth except the third molar; Refers to the number of missing teeth except the third molar; Refers to the number of missing teeth except the third molar	baseline
Primary	debris index (DI-S)	The oral cavity was divided into 6 segments, and the debris of 6 index teeth was examined: 16, 26, 36, 46, 11, 31; if missing, check the adjacent teeth in the same area. The values are as follows: 0 = there is no debris on the tooth surface; 1 = the debris coverage area is less than 1/3; 2 = the debris coverage area is between 1/3 and 2/3; 3 = the debris coverage area accounts for more than 2/3 of the tooth surface.	baseline
Primary	calculus (CI-S)	The examination method is the same as above, check the calculus condition of 6 index teeth. The assigned values are as follows: 0 = no supragingival and subgingival calculus; 1 = the area covered by supragingival calculus is less than 1 / 3 of the tooth surface; 2 = the area covered by supragingival calculus is between 1 / 3 and 2 / 3, or there are scattered subgingival calculi in the neck; 3 = the area covered by supragingival calculus accounts for more than 2 / 3 of the tooth surface, or there are continuous and thick subgingival calculus in the neck.	baseline
Primary	simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S)	The sum of the 6 CI-S or DI-S, choose the larger one. 0HI-S = 10 means poor oral hygiene. OHI < 10 is good for oral hygiene.	baseline
Primary	Number of defective restorations	It means that the crown edge of the restoration is located under the gingiva, the surface of the restoration is rough, the degree of fit with the tooth surface is not good, the shape is too convex, the contact area, marginal ridge recovery is not good, and so on. Among them, the fixed bridge is calculated according to the number of teeth of the bad bridge.	baseline
Primary	Gingival biotype	According to the judgment method proposed by Kan et al, and combined with the clinical practice of our country, the periodontal biotypes are divided into the following three types: 1. Thick gingiva:. Examination methods: the outline of the periodontal probe into the gingival sulcus is completely unrecognizable at the gingival margin and through the gingival tissue at the front of the probe; 2. Thin gingiva: Examination method: the outline of the periodontal probe into the gingival sulcus can be recognized at the gingival margin and through the gingival tissue at the front of the probe . 3. Intermediate gingiva: the characteristic is between the above two; examination method: the outline of the periodontal probe into the gingival sulcus can be identified at the gingival margin through the gingival tissue, while the front part of the probe cannot be identified.	baseline
Primary	Dentition crowding degree	The crowding degree of the canine-canine area of the lower anterior teeth can be easily evaluated according to the crowding degree of the canine-canine area of the lower anterior teeth, which can be divided into the following four grades : 0 = none, 1 = the crowding degree of the lower anterior teeth is equal to half the width of the lower central incisor, 2 = the crowding degree of the lower anterior teeth is equal to the width of a central incisor, 3 = the crowding degree of the lower anterior teeth exceeds the width	baseline
Primary	Molar relationship	Angle class I: the occlusion of the mesiobuccal tip of the maxillary first molar is neutral with the molar in the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular first permanent molar; Angle II: the distance of the mandibular retreating 4 molars or half of the premolars, the distance of the molars is distal; Angle III: the distance of the mandibular forward movement of at least 1x4 molars or half of the premolars, and the molars are mesial.	baseline
