Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pulse Wave Velocity carotid-femoral (PWV-CF)
The speed of pulse wave propagation between carotid-femoral sites
Pulse Wave Velocity carotid-femoral (PWV-CR)
The speed of pulse wave propagation between carotid-radial sites
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT)
The thickness of the carotid intima and media
Distensibility Coefficient (DC)
The relative change in luminal area during systole for a given pressure change (pulsed pressure), will be calculated assuming the lumen to be circular.
Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs)
A group of endogenous heterogeneous compounds that are constantly formed under physiological conditions with prooxidant and cytotoxic properties. Measurements are performed by fluorescence spectroscopy technique.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on endothelial dysfunction parameters in subjects with periodontitis and without any cardiovascular disease.
Detailed Description
A double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on endothelial dysfunction parameters in subjects with periodontitis and without any cardiovascular disease. 60 patients: 30 with periodontitis and 30 with healthy controls and without periodontitis history. All the patients are assessed for clinical, periodontal, blood and non-invasive ultrasound cardiovascular parameters. Measurements are taken before and after initial periodontal treatment in the periodontal subjects.
