Brief Summary

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

Objective: The present study aimed to determine the expressions of nuclear receptors PPAR (Peroxisome proliferative activator receptor)-γ, RXR (Retinoid X receptor)-α, and vitamin D receptor (VDR) in healthy volunteers and periodontitis patients with different grade involvement.

Methods: Group-1; healthy individuals, Group-2; periodontitis patients-stage 3 grade B, (H-GradeB), Group-3; periodontitis patients-stage 3 grade C, (D-GradeC). Clinical parameters as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) were measured. Fibroblast and inflammatory cells, PPAR-γ, RXR-α, and VDR levels were determined in histological slides.

Study Groups

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

Group-1

Healthy individuals

Gingiva Biopsy Sampling

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Gingival samples of healthy individuals were collected by gingivectomy or crown lengthening procedure in the routine treatment protocol or before orthodontically indicated tooth extraction. Gingival samples of periodontitis patients were obtained during the scaling and root planning procedure. Posterior maxillary teeth (#4, #5, #6, and #7) were chosen for gingival sampling.

Group-2

Periodontitis patients-stage 3-grade B

Gingiva Biopsy Sampling

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Gingival samples of healthy individuals were collected by gingivectomy or crown lengthening procedure in the routine treatment protocol or before orthodontically indicated tooth extraction. Gingival samples of periodontitis patients were obtained during the scaling and root planning procedure. Posterior maxillary teeth (#4, #5, #6, and #7) were chosen for gingival sampling.

Group-3

Periodontitis patients-stage 3-grade C

Gingiva Biopsy Sampling

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Gingival samples of healthy individuals were collected by gingivectomy or crown lengthening procedure in the routine treatment protocol or before orthodontically indicated tooth extraction. Gingival samples of periodontitis patients were obtained during the scaling and root planning procedure. Posterior maxillary teeth (#4, #5, #6, and #7) were chosen for gingival sampling.
