NCT04046237 | Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: P171104
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 210
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Multicenter randomized clinical trial with two arms in patients hospitalized for an AMI nested in the Frenchie registry. Periodontal therapy is performed by periodontists in the intervention group versus treatment by dental surgeons as part of their usual practice in the control group. For the intervention group, periodontal management will be carried out for a maximum of 6 months after randomisation, prolonged by a follow-up of 6 months including a maintenance visit at M9. All patients will have an FDG-PET at M0 and M12 for evaluation of inflammation on carotid atherosclerotic plaques.

Conditions

Acute Myocardial Infarction; Severe Periodontitis; Carotid Atherosclerosis

Keywords

Acute Myocardial Infarction; Severe Periodontitis; FDG-PET; Carotid Atherosclerosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Effect of treatment of severe periodontitis in patients with an AMI

  The primary endpoint will be the absolute difference of the Most-Diseased Segment (MDS) -Target to Background Ratio (TBR) measured at the segment with the highest activity on carotid arteries between the initial PET scan and the PET scan performed at 12 months (+12months) after randomization

  12 months (+12months) after randomization

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Effect of treatment of severe periodontitis in patients with an AMI

  12 months (+12months) after randomization

• Impact of periodontitis treatment on the intensity of global inflammatory activity measured in the alveolar bone

  12 months (+12months) after randomization

• Impact of periodontitis treatment on the intensity of global inflammatory activity measured in the thoracic aorta

  12 months (+12months) after randomization

• Dysbiosis

  12 months (+12months) after randomization

• CD31 in plasma and gingival fluid

  12 months (+12months) after randomization

Study Arms (2)

Usual treatment - Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The patient is referred to his treating dentist with a diagnosis report of his oral state including his periodontal status. The usual care usually includes the extraction of non-preservable teeth, the dental prosthesis to replace them and at least one descaling session.

Periodontal treatment - Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

Periodontal treatment can last up to 6 months depending on the periodontal state, followed by a follow-up period of at least 6 months including a visit at M9. Briefly, the intervention group includes initial therapy with information on oral hygiene techniques, scaling and surfacing of dental roots. This initial therapy is followed by a resumption of periodontal clinical measures after 6 weeks. Depending on the degree of improvement of the measurements, the treatment is either completed, or continues with further scaling-surfacing and / or performing one or more periodontal surgeries. Periodontal monitoring period often called "maintenance" includes repeated sessions of simple scaling whose rate does not exceed 4 per year.

Other: Periodontal treatment

Interventions

Periodontal treatment OTHER

Periodontal treatment can last up to 6 months depending on the periodontal state, followed by a follow-up period of at least 6 months including a visit to M9. Briefly, the intervention group includes initial therapy in 48 hours maximum which includes information on oral hygiene techniques (verbal + brochure), scaling and surfacing of dental roots with antiseptic irrigation and non-tooth extraction. retainable. This initial therapy is followed by a resumption of periodontal clinical measures after 6 weeks. Depending on the degree of improvement of the measurements, the treatment is either completed, or continues with further scaling-surfacing and / or performing one or more periodontal surgeries. Periodontal monitoring period often called "maintenance" includes repeated sessions of simple scaling whose rate does not exceed 4 per year.
