Clinical Trial Summary

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by a dysbiotic microbiome which can lead to bone destruction and tooth loss. Several studies had been reported the association to periodontal disease with systemic conditions and this relation suggests and axis that links oral and gut microbiome. In order to clarify the impact of periodontal condition on gut microbiome, we aim to evaluate the clinical, immunological parameters and the microbiological condition by sequencing of subgingival biofilm and stool samples both before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment with and without antibiotics as adjunct.
