Clinical Trial Summary
This study was conducted after obtaining approval from UKM Research Ethics Committee.
Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) from Orthodontic and non-orthodontic patients was collected
with the consent of patients to detect Dentine sialophosphoprotein. Spectrometry analysis of
Gingival Crevicular Fluid was conducted in collaboration with MIMOS Berhad.
Description:
Thirty patients were recruited having met the following inclusion criteria of (1) good
general health, (2) good periodontal health, (3) caries-free, (4) good oral hygiene. The
subjects were divided into 3 groups based on a radiographic assessment on the level of root
resorption; normal (no root resorption), mild (less than 2 mm), and severe (more than 2 mm).
The GCF samples were taken from the permanent central incisors of untreated subjects in the
normal control group (n=14), while in the mild group, samples were collected from the
permanent central incisors with mild root resorption (<2 mm) in patients undergoing active
orthodontic treatment after 6 months with radiographic evidence (mild group, n=5). Child
patients with severe root resorption (>2 mm) were those with primary second molars undergoing
physiological root resorption (severe group, n=11). The GCF samples were collected from the
mesial and the distal gingival crevicular sulcus of the involved teeth using gingival fluid
collection strips (Periopaper, Oraflow, Smithtown, N.Y.). The paper strips were placed within
the sulcus (intrasulcular method) approximately 1 to 2 mm into the gingival sulcus and left
in situ for 60 seconds. Every sample collection was taken 3 times at the same site with
one-minute resting intervals to allow GCF to be replenished into the gingival sulcus.
