Title of the topic “Estimation of the level of soluble inter cellular adhesion molecule -1 (sICAM-1) in gingival crevicular fluid from healthy and diseased periodontium” 2 Name of the Institution. 6. Brief resume of intended work: 6.1 Need for study: Periodontal diseases are chronic inflammatory diseases that are characterized by destructive inflammatory processes affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, Resorption of alveolar bone and formation of periodontal pockets1,2. .The central focus of research on periodontal diagnosis has been the methods that attempt to identify high risk subjects or high risk sites within subjects before extensive damage to the tissues has occurred2. Traditional method of diagnosis such as clinical attachment level and probing pocket depth are deficient with respect to accuracy and their ability to predict disease activity Therefore considerable attention has been directed towards the measurement of site specific by-products of the disease process in the gingival tissues or in the adjacent Crevicular fluid. These site directed measurements may allow for a more definitive identification of susceptible individuals and may also allow for the evaluation of responsiveness to therapy2. Leukocyte migration into tissues is particularly prominent during inflammatory responses and results from cytokine induced expression of adhesion molecules on the surface of vascular endothelial cells 3 Cell interactions that occur in gingival tissues have a significant impact on the disease process. The cells in different tissues of the body, either in the normal traffic pattern or into inflammatory lesions, involve a complex family of adhesion molecules2. Cell adhesion molecules are cell surface proteins involved in the binding of cells, usually leukocytes to each other, to endothelial cells or to the extra cellular matrix. specific signals produced in response to infection control their expression and activation, and binding of CAMS(cell adhesion molecules) to their receptors/ligands play an important role in inflammatory and immune reaction.2 A number of Cell adhesion molecules have been detected as soluble circulatory forms in human serum and other body fluids. These sCAMS may influence cell interaction within gingival tissues and may also influence the interactions between the bacteria and cells in the gingival crevice / periodontal pocket2. These CAMS may be released as a consequence of cell damage possibly arising from cytokine induction. Soluble ICAM-1 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamilly. It is elevated in inflammation, infection and cancer indicating that sICAM1, may be a useful parameter for diagnosis, and evaluation of these pathological conditions. sICAM-1 is expressed by Junctional epithelial cells in health and the majority of pocket epithelium in disease and shed in gingival crevicular fluid 2, 4 In the present study, GCF will be analysed in order to estimate the level of sICAM-1 from healthy gingiva, gingivitis and periodontitis sites. 6.2 review of literature: Diseases of the periodontium are chronic inflammatory diseases characterized by loss of alveolar bone, periodontal ligament leading to pocket formation and tooth mortality.1 Studies showed the involvement of inflammatory mediators like sICAM-1 which is increased in sites with periodontitis.and their elevated level reflects the increased cellular damage2. Studies have reported that expression of ICAM-1 may be enhanced in vitro by the action of cytokines and this is reflected in vivo by a greater intensity of expression on endothelial cells at sites of inflammation.3. A study conducted in Rheumatoid arthritis patients showed a significant elevation of serum sICAM-1, sICAM-3, sVCAM-1, sL-Selectin and sP-Selectin but not e-selectin.Hence the sP-Selectin was found to Co-relate with disease activity in the patients4. In a review, the structure, distribution and function of cell adhesion molecules involved in inflammatory/immune response are summarized. The Data demonstrate the distribution of CAMS in gingival tissue is consistent with other inflammatory lesions. Distribution of E-Selectin and V-CAM-1 on gingival blood vessel and ICAM-1 on junctional epithelium and pocket epithelium is clearly selective and interference with CAM function may prove to be a useful approach in the future management of periodontal disease5. 6.3 Objectives of the study 1. To understand the role of sICAM-1 in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. 2. To estimate the level of sICAM-1 in periodontal health and disease. 3. To correlate the clinical parameters like bleeding index, plaque index, probing depth, clinical attachment loss in periodontal health and disease. 7. Methodology 7.1. Source of data The study population will consists of 90 systemically healthy subjects belonging to both the sexes and will be selected are from M.R. Ambedkar Dental College and HospitalOPD, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. 7.2. Methods of collection of data The 90 subjects will be divided into 3 groups of 30 subjects each as follows:1. Healthy group – No bleeding on probing,no signs of inflammation, no attachment loss. 2. Gingivitis group –Probing pocket depth < 3 mm, no attachment loss, bleeding on probing present, clinical sign of inflammation present. 3.Periodontitis group – clinical sign of inflammation present, presence of bleeding on probing Probing pocket depth > 5mm, , clinical attachment loss > 3mm,. Written informed consent will be taken from all subjects. Bleeding index (Ainamo & Bay) plaque index (Sillness and Loe), probing depth and attachment loss are recorded in all subjects. Gingival crevicular fluid is collected from healthy, gingivitis, periodontitis sites by placing microcapillary pipettes using extra crevicular method. All samples will be stored and subjected to ELISA for estimating soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1( sICAM-1). Values obtained will be statistically analysed using ANOVA test with SPSS computer software. 7.3. Does the study require any investigations or interventions to be conducted on patients or other human or animals? YES 7.4. Has ethical clearance been obtained from your institution in case of 7.3? YES 8. List of References 1.Williams.R.C.Periodontal disease,N.Engl.J.Med 1990;322;373-376 2.
