This study evaluates the influence of dental prophylaxis on disease activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis. In addition to standard antirheumatic therapy, recently the question has been raised whether or not there is a supplementary beneficial effect due to professional teeth cleaning. So far just a few studies pursued this question, indicating that prophylaxis by dental professionals can alleviate the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis. To further evaluate this question, in our study half of the participants will receive dental prophylaxis at their first visit, after 2 weeks and 3 months, while the other half will receive professional teeth cleaning after 3 months only.
