Brief Summary

This study is a randomized, outcome assessor blinded, parallel group, trial to evaluate the effect of non surgical periodontal treatment in the form of scaling and root planing on coronary heart disease patients. 70 CHD patients with periodontitis, were allocated into two groups- experimental and control. Scaling and root planing was provided as the intervention to the experimental group. The primary outcome are the changes in C-reactive level and systolic blood pressure at the end of 6 months. The secondary outcomes are blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, C-reactive protein, lipid profile, WBC profile at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months. Periodontal parameters including PI, GI, BOP, PPD, and CAL is also assessed at baseline and 6 months. All these parameters were also compared with their corresponding values in the control group.
