Abstract

Chronic infections, such as periodontitis, are associated with increased risk of systemic diseases driven by a persistent low-grade systemic inflammation and metabolic changes. Severity of periodontitis has also been associated with increased systolic blood pressure (BP). However, the issue remains poorly investigated. We aimed to estimate the effect of periodontal therapy on traditional and novel cardiovascular risk factors in systemically healthy individuals who have periodontitis. We enrolled 40 otherwise healthy patients with severe chronic generalized periodontitis in a 6-month pilot intervention trial. Individuals were randomized either to a standard course of periodontal therapy (subgingival scaling and root planing) or an intensive one (including the adjunctive use of a locally delivered antimicrobial, IPT). Compared to control, IPT produced significant reductions in a cluster of inflammatory markers at 1 (P = .0406) and 2 (P = .0060) months together with an improvement in lipid markers at 2 (P = .0320) and 6 (P = .0432) months after therapy. Intensive periodontal therapy produced greater reductions in IL-6 at 1 (0.4 +/- 0.2 ng/L difference, 95% CI 0.03-0.9, P = .0284) and 2 months (0.3 +/- 0.2 ng/L difference, 95% CI 0...Continue Reading
