Clinical Trial 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.

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.
