Abstract

Objective: This observational prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the effects of non‐surgical periodontal treatment on clinical periodontal measurements and systemic inflammatory mediator levels in low or moderate to highly active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with chronic periodontitis. Subjects and methods: Rheumatoid arthritis activity was assessed with disease activity score test (DAS 28). Thirty patients with RA with moderate to high disease activity (DAS 28 ≥ 3.2) and chronic periodontitis (MHDA group) and thirty patients with RA with low disease activity (DAS 28 < 3.2) and chronic periodontitis (LDA group) were enrolled in the study. The patients were monitored at the beginning and 3 months after undergoing periodontal therapy. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C‐reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) levels in serum, DAS 28 and periodontal parameters were evaluated. Results: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP, TNF‐α levels in serum, DAS 28 and periodontal parameters exhibited similar and significant reduction 3 months after the non‐surgical periodontal treatment. Conclusion: Non‐surgical periodontal treatment may prove beneficial in reducing RA severity as measured by ESR, CRP, TNF‐α levels in serum and DAS 28 in low or moderate to highly active RA patients with chronic periodontitis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
