About this study

Official title: Acute-phase Response & Periodontal Treatment in Patients With High Blood Pressure

The aim of this study is to compare quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus full-mouth treatment (FM-SRP) in terms of acute-phase responses following non surgical periodontal treatment in patients affected by periodontitis and high blood pressure.

Read the detailed description

Periodontal treatment, consisting in both supra- and sub-gingival mechanical instrumentation of the root surface (scaling and root planing), will be performed by a single periodontist on patients with periodontitis and hypertension.

The aim of this study is to compare quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus full-mouth treatment (FM-SRP) in terms of acute-phase responses following non surgical periodontal treatment in patients affected by periodontitis and high blood pressure.

Treatment will be provided using both hand and ultrasonic instrumentation with fine tips.

FM-SRP patients will received treatment within 24 h. Q-SRP patients will received four quadrants sessions of periodontal treatment with an interval of 1 week between sessions.

Vital, endothelial function and blood inflammatory parameters will be evaluated at baseline, 24 hours after the first treatment and after 3 months. Periodontal parameters will be evaluated at baseline and after 3 months.

Being tested
FM-SRP, Q-SRP
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FM-SRPProcedure or surgery

    Also called Full mouth scaling and root planing

    Supra- and sub-gingival mechanical instrumentation of the root surface of the whole dentition within 24 hours.

  • Q-SRPProcedure or surgery

    Also called Quadrant scaling and root planing

    Supra- and sub-gingival mechanical instrumentation of the root surface will be performed in all dentition subdivided in four appointments. Each appointment will be performed in one week interval. In each appointment only a "quadrant" of the dentition will be instrumented.Performed in 3 weeks time frame.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FM-SRP and Q-SRP in people with Periodontitis and Hypertension, run by University of Pisa at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Levels C-Reactive Protein (time frame: Baseline, 24 hours and 3 months after treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Nov 2020.
