Impact of Periodontal Intervention on Vascular Dysfunction

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of periodontal intervention on vascular dysfunction among Chinese prehypertensive adults with moderate to severe periodontal disease.

Clinical Trial Description

Periodontitis is one of the low-grade chronic diseases, and it is the principal cause of tooth loss among middle-aged and elderly. Recently, epidemiological data indicate that patients with periodontitis are associated with increases in blood pressure levels and hypertension prevalence. Furthermore, studies from cross-sectional investigations demonstrate that hypertensive patients with periodontitis may enhance the risk and degree of vascular damage. Therefore, periodontal therapy is a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent the occurrence of BP elevation and retard the development vascular injury.

The term "prehypertension" indicates those with BPs ranging from 120 to 139 mm Hg systolic and/or 80 to 89 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure. Accumulating evidence suggests that subjects with prehypertension is associated with higher incidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease. However, until now there are no available data to investigate the influence of periodontitis on prehypertension and whether periodontal intervention may reduce the BP rise in subjects with prehypertension and improve the vascular function. We hypothesized that periodontitis leads to elevation in BP and periodontal therapy improves vascular function in subjects with prehypertension. To address these assumptions, The present study is designed to study the effect of periodontal intervention on blood pressure and vascular function and inflammatory biomarkers among Chinese prehypertensive adults with moderate to severe periodontal disease, and determine whether intensive periodontal therapy improves these measures over a 6-month follow-up period. ;

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.
