Impact of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy in the Improvement of Early Endothelial Dysfunction in Subjects With Periodontitis.

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Atherosclerosis; Periodontitis
• Interventions: Procedure: Non-surgical periodontal treatment

• Registration Number: NCT05906797
• Lead Sponsor: University of Catania

Brief Summary

A double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on endothelial dysfunction parameters in subjects with periodontitis and without any cardiovascular disease.

Detailed Description

A double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on endothelial dysfunction parameters in subjects with periodontitis and without any cardiovascular disease.

60 patients: 30 with periodontitis and 30 with healthy controls and without periodontitis history.

All the patients are assessed for clinical, periodontal, blood and non-invasive ultrasound cardiovascular parameters. Measurements are taken before and after initial periodontal treatment in the periodontal subjects.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Periodontitis	Non-surgical periodontal treatment	Subjects diagnosed with periodontitis according to the most recent international guidelines and without cardiovascular diseases.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pulse Wave Velocity carotid-femoral (PWV-CR)	8 weeks	The speed of pulse wave propagation between carotid-radial sites
Pulse Wave Velocity carotid-femoral (PWV-CF)	8 weeks	The speed of pulse wave propagation between carotid-femoral sites
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT)	8 weeks	The thickness of the carotid intima and media
Distensibility Coefficient (DC)	8 weeks	The relative change in luminal area during systole for a given pressure change (pulsed pressure), will be calculated assuming the lumen to be circular.
Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs)	8 weeks	A group of endogenous heterogeneous compounds that are constantly formed under physiological conditions with prooxidant and cytotoxic properties. Measurements are performed by fluorescence spectroscopy technique.
