Objectives:The aim of this study is to measure the concentration of transferrin in serum from patients with without chronic periodontitis before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy and test whether these concentrations correlate with clinical parameters associated with periodontal disease.Design:
in this single center,single blind,non-randomized controlled trial, Individuals are in 25-60 age that referred to dental school of Tabriz and after receiving the written consent will enter to this study.
forty individuals are included in this study,20 with chronic periodontitis (atleast two interproximal sites with attachment loss equal or more than 4mm) and 20 with periodontally health(no interproximal attachment loss). setting and conduct: serum transferrin levels(by venus blood sample) and clinical periodontal parameters( PD,CAL,BOP,GI,PI by periodontal probe) are recorded at baseline and 3 months after non-surgical periodontal therapy. major exclion criteria:a course of NSAIDs or antimicrobial drugs & periodontal treatment within a 6 month period before the study,presence of any systemic disease and infection other than chronic periodontitis,pregnancy or lactating mothers.Intervention: Patients in the chronic periodontitis group received nonsurgical periodontal therapy, including oral hygiene instructions(flossing & brushing with Bass technique), and scaling and root planing in one 1hour session.then, 0.12 % chlorhexidine mouthwash(Cosmodent Co.,Gingival KIN,spain) was prescribed for 14 days(15ml for 30seconds twice a day). control group subjects were provided with oral hygiene instructions(flossing & brushing with Bass technique) only in 1 20minute session.main outcome variables: serum transferrin is a primary outcome and clinical periodontal parameters are a secondary outcome.
