NCT03960216

Brief Summary

A 6-month, parallel-arm, investigator-masked, randomized clinical trial was conducted in patients with MetS and severe periodontitis. Participants were randomly assigned to an Intensive Periodontal Treatment group (IPT; scaling and root planing and azithromycin capsules 500mg/24h/3days) or to a Minimal Periodontal Treatment group (MPT; professional plaque removal and placebo capsules). Blood and subgingival microbiological samples were collected at baseline, 3 and 6 months after therapy. The primary outcome was between-group difference in C-reactive protein (CRP). Secondary outcomes included HbA1c, lipids, α-1 antitrypsin, fibrinogen levels and subgingival microbiota assessment.

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Change in Probing Pocket Depth

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Change in Clinical Attachment Level

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Change in Plaque Index

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Change in Bleeding on Probing

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Change in the presence of selected periodontal pathogens

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Minimal Periodontal Treatment (MPT)

SHAM COMPARATOR

Once the hopeless teeth have been extracted, randomized patients will receive a periodontal prophylaxis, in the form of supragingival removal of all deposits (plaque and calculus) with an ultrasonic scaler in two sessions, 1 week apart. During this week the patients will be prescribed local antiseptics (chlorhexidine rinse, 2x, 10 days) and, after the last session, placebo capsules (one every 24 h for three days).

Procedure: Supragingival Prophylaxis

Intensive Periodontal Treatment (IPT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Once the hopeless teeth have been extracted, randomized patients will receive non-surgical periodontal therapy in the form of full-mouth scaling and root planing (SRP), in two sessions, 1 week apart, with the use of an ultrasonic scaler (Minipiezon Electromedical Systems EMS, Nyon, Switzerland) and hand instruments, under local anaesthesia. During this week the patients will be prescribed local antiseptics (chlorhexidine rinse, 2x, 10 days) and after the last session, systemic antibiotics (azithromycin 500 mgrs, every 24 h for three days).

Procedure: Scaling and root planning

Interventions

Patients received non-surgical periodontal therapy in the form of full-mouth scaling and root planing (SRP), in two sessions, 1 week apart, with the use of an ultrasonic scaler (Minipiezon Electromedical Systems EMS, Nyon, Switzerland) and hand instruments, under local anaesthesia.

Intensive Periodontal Treatment (IPT)
