Short-term Effects of Intensive Periodontal Therapy on Serum Inflammatory Markers and Cholesterol

Abstract

Severe periodontitis has been associated with increased systemic inflammation. In a three-arm preliminary randomized trial, we investigated the impact of standard (SPT) and intensive periodontal therapy (IPT) on serum inflammatory markers and cholesterol levels. Medical and periodontal parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol were evaluated in 65 systemically healthy subjects suffering from severe generalized periodontitis. Two months after treatment, both SPT and IPT resulted in significant reductions in serum CRP compared with the untreated control (0.5 ± 0.2 mg/L for SPT, P = 0.030 and 0.8 ± 0.2 mg/L for IPT, P = 0.001). Similar results were observed for IL-6. Changes in inflammation were independent of age, gender, body mass index, and ethnicity, but a significant interaction between cigarette smoking and treatment regimen was found. The IPT group also showed a decrease in total and LDL cholesterol after 2 months. Analysis of these data indicates that periodontitis causes moderate systemic inflammation in systemically healthy subjects.

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.
