NCT02460926

Brief Summary

This study has compared quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus intensive treatment performed within 24 hours (FM-SRP) in terms of acute phase responses following treatment of periodontal disease. The primary aim was to compare the differences in CRP acute increase following FM-SRP versus Q-SRP therapy (24 hours after therapy). Secondary outcomes included changes in a broad array of inflammatory and endothelial injury markers between groups. Patients were randomly assigned to either FM-SRP and Q-SRP. Data indicated that non-surgical periodontal therapy performed within 24 hours induced greater perturbations of systemic inflammation compared to conventional treatment.

Study Arms (2)

Scaling & Root Planing - Quadrant

EXPERIMENTAL

Periodontal treatment (PT), consisting in both supra- and sub-gingival mechanical instrumentation of the root surface (scaling and root planing), was performed by a single periodontist . Treatment was provided using both hand and ultrasonic instrumentation with fine tips. Local anaesthesia was used when needed and no time constraints were enforced. Q-SRP patients received four quadrants sessions of PT with an interval of 1 week between sessions

Procedure: Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling & Root Planing - Full Mouth

EXPERIMENTAL

Periodontal treatment (PT), consisting in both supra- and sub-gingival mechanical instrumentation of the root surface (scaling and root planing), was performed by a single periodontist . Treatment was provided using both hand and ultrasonic instrumentation with fine tips. Local anaesthesia was used when needed and no time constraints were enforced. FM-SRP patients received treatment within 24 hrs in two separate sessions, one side of the mouth for each session: two quadrants were instrumented in an afternoon session, whereas the other two were instrumented the following morning

Procedure: Scaling & Root Planing

Interventions

It consists in the non-surgical debridement of the sub gingival area affected by periodontal disease
