Tongue Dysbiosis Effects on Arterial Pressure of Periodontitis Patients

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Blood pressure control is crucial for individuals' wellbeing. However, many daily aspects such as diet could impair blood pressure control. In addition, many people living under different conditions in different countries are affected by some kind of gum disease. These people experience gingival bleeding, bad breath, teeth mobility and pain. Throughout gum disease development the number of oral germs in the mouth increases including their levels in tongue surface. Oral bacterial are able to convert nitrate widely found in food in nitrite which influences blood pressure. Frequently treatment of gum diseases general combines manual instrumentation with mouthwashes. However, it has been suggested that reduction of oral bacteria by mouthwashes, especially chlorhexidine, is accompanied by decreased conversion of nitrate to nitrite and that this minor nitrite availability would increase blood pressure. Therefore, this is a point to be clarified for patients, physicians and dentists.

This study will investigate the relation between treatment with mouthwashes and blood pressure of patients with destructive gum disease based on nitrite levels in saliva, bacterial levels in tongue and values of arterial blood pressure which will be monitored over 6 months. In addition, usual clinical parameters and alteration of oral cells' DNA will be also monitored overtime. Patients will be treated under local anesthesia and manual instrumentation within 24 hours. They will receive oral care products too. There will be 3 treatment groups (manual instrumentation + chlorhexidine mouthwash [2 times a day for 3 weeks], manual instrumentation + placebo mouthwash [2 times a day for 3 weeks] and manual instrumentation + no mouthwash) and 2 dental appointments before treatment. After treatment, patients will be examined at 7, 14, 21, 90 and 180 days. Saliva, plaque and cell sampling will be fast and by no invasive methods.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
