In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues leading to the destruction of the tooth supporting structures. Despite the fact that periodontal bacteria are etiological agents, host susceptibility related to the inflammatory response to plaque bacteria is the main determinant of the development of periodontitis. Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) represents the base of any therapeutic approach. Its main component is the removal of bacterial deposits, i.e. soft biofilm or mineralized calculus, from the tooth surface via mechanical debridement. It is well established that patients suffering from periodontitis present with a low-grade systemic inflammatory state when compared to healthy subjects. Increased concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers in systemic circulation, such as, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin (IL)-6, have already been reported.
