Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary goal of this study is to investigate the qualitative and quantitative effects of scaling and root planing (SRP) with and without minocycline HCL microspheres, 1 mg on periodontal pathogens and overall bacterial load.

A randomized controlled clinical trial of a control (SRP) group and an experimental (SRP with minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg) group is planned.

Specific Aim 1: Evaluate the cumulative oral periodontal bacterial burden in both control and test groups over a six month period.

Specific Aim 2: Assess gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum biomarkers of inflammation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized controlled clinical trial of a control (SRP) group and an experimental (SRP with minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg) group is planned.

The intervention of minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg will be administered in the experimental group at baseline and the three month periodontal maintenance visit. Saliva samples, GCF, and blood serum will be collected at four time points (baseline, 1, 3, and 6 month follow up). Saliva will be analyzed for overall pathogen burden. GCF will be analyzed for Interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Serum will be analyzed for C-reactive protein (hsCRP), haptoglobin (Hp), hemoglobin A1c (Hgb A1c), IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SRP with minocycline HCl microspheres

The intervention of minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg will be administered in the experimental group at baseline and the three month periodontal maintenance visit.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

minocycline HCl microspheres

Intervention Type DRUG

Minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an adjunct to SRP procedures for reduction of pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis.

SRP without minocycline HCl microspheres

The control group will not have minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg administered.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
