Brief Summary

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

Objectives: Wnt5a is a secreted Wnt ligand that plays an important role in cellular homeostasis. Wnt interaction with coreceptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) induces the proliferation of osteoblasts and prolongs their functional life. The aim of this study is evaluating the levels of Wnt5a and LRP5 in serum and saliva samples and relationship between clinical periodontal parameters.

Method: Saliva and serum samples were collected from 20 systemically healthy patients with stage III periodontitis and 20 periodontally healthy controls. Wnt5a and LRP5 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Clinical periodontal parameters including plaque index (PI), probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded.

Study Groups

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

Stage III periodontitis Grade B

Individuals exhibiting pocket depths of \>3 mm in at least two non-adjacent teeth, radiographic evidence of alveolar bone loss extending to the middle or apical third of the root, and tooth loss of ≤4 due to periodontitis were classified as having Stage III periodontitis. The additional criterion for Grade B classification was defined as a % bone loss/age ratio of 0.25-1.

No interventions assigned to this group

Periodontally healthy

Individuals with no signs of alveolar bone loss and an overall oral bleeding score \<10% were categorized as periodontally healthy.

No interventions assigned to this group
