Study information

Study designA double-masked, randomised, placebo-controlled, multi-centre trial.
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleEfficacy of mechanical scaling and root planning and adjunctive chemotherapy (doxycycline hyclate 20 mg) on systemic health improvement in diabetics
Study objectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness of scaling and root planning (SRP) and adjunctive chemotherapy (doxycycline hyclate 20 mg) on gingival health, specific cytokines and glycaemic control within diabetic subjects.
Ethics approval(s)Research Ethics Committee, Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPeriodontal disease and diabetes mellitus
InterventionThe selected subjects were divided into four groups:

1. One session of SRP at baseline visit only, and placebo tablets 20 mg twice/day starting at baseline visit and continuing for 3 months only
2. One session of SRP at baseline visit only, and doxycycline hyclate (oral, 20 mg twice/day) starting at baseline visit and continuing for 3 months only
3. Two sessions of SRP, first at baseline visit and the second at 6-month visit, and placebo tablets 20 mg twice/day at baseline visit and 6-month visit continuing for 3 months from each visit
4. Two sessions of SRP, first at baseline visit and the second at 6-month visit, and doxycycline hyclate 20 mg twice/day at baseline visit and 6-month visit continuing for 3 months from each visit
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)doxycycline
Primary outcome measure1. Effectiveness of SRP and adjunctive chemotherapy (doxycycline hyclate 20 mg) on gingival health. The following were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months:
1.1. Probing Pocket Depth (PPD)
1.2. Clinical attachment level (CAL)
1.3. Modified gingival index (MGI)
1.4. Plaque index (PI)
1.5. Bleeding on probing (BOP)

2. Effectiveness of SRP and adjunctive chemotherapy (doxycycline hyclate 20 mg) on specific cytokines and glycaemic control in diabetic subjects. Venous blood samples were obtained for laboratory analysis of cytokines (Tumuor Necrosis Factor alpha [TNF-a], Interleukine-1 alpha [IL-1 a]) and to evaluate glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) for all subjects at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Secondary outcome measuresNo secondary outcome measures
