Assessment of the Effect of Gluten Free Toothpaste on the Ulcerative Events in Children With Celiac Disease
Study Purpose
Celiac disease (CD) is the most common genetically based food intolerance in the world, with a prevalence among approximately 1% of the general population (Guandalini & Assiri, 2014). CD is a frequent disorder among Egyptian children, both in the general population and in at-risk groups(Abu-Zekry et al., 2008). It is estimated that the incidence of CD is 3 to13 cases per1000, with a higher prevalence among first-degree relatives of patients with CD.Lifelong adherence to a strict gluten free diet (GFD) remains the only available treatment for patients with CD and typically results in a complete return to health. Nevertheless, gluten is not found only in diet, Gluten is commonly used as a binder in products like medication, cosmetics, oral and skin care, and even children's toys. Gluten is found also in toothpastes and other oral health products and it can be swallowed by mistake and initiate immune response(Anon, n.d.). Unfortunately, there is no gluten free toothpaste available in the Egyptian market and it is very expensive if we bought it from Europe or USA. The tube will cost nearly 10 dolars .As a result, the production and availability of gluten free toothpaste in Egypt has become mandatory.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
