Study aim
-
Determining the effect of chronic periodontitis treatment on the changes in vitamin D serum level before and after periodontal treatment
-
Design
-
a single-arm clinical trial with a sample size of 38 patients
-
Settings and conduct
-
Patients from the periodontics department of Gilan Dental School are included in the study. Serum vitamin D levels of patients are measured and periodontal Scaling and Root Planing treatment and, if necessary, surgical treatment are performed for patients. 1 month and 3 months after periodontal treatment, the serum level of vitamin D will be measured again and its level will be compared with the level before periodontal treatment.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria include patients with untreated chronic periodontitis and having at least 6 teeth for each patient; Exclusion criteria include having a systemic disease that affects bone metabolism, having a history of cancer, consuming vitamin D and calcium supplements, consuming interfering drugs such as bisphosphonates, barbiturates, cardiac glycosides, cholestyramine, glucocorticoids, and laxatives, being pregnant

Intervention groups
-
First, the indices of probe depth and clinical bone loss, index plate and radiographic bone loss of each patient are recorded. A blood sample is taken from the intervention group, and then periodontal treatment of scaling and leveling of the root surface and, if necessary, surgical treatment such as curettage or grafting are performed. One month later and three months later, the indicators are recorded again and the blood sample is taken from the patient.
