Effect of Nonsurgical Periodontal Treatment on Systemic Risk Markers of Cardiovascular Disease Clinically and Biochemically: A Randomized Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler (frequency of 28-36 KHz) and Gracey curettes for Coronary Heart Disease and Periodontitis. Completed, enrolled 70 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether scaling and root planing as a periodontal intervention helps in improving the overall health of patients suffering from coronary heart disease.

Interventions
Periodontal treatment in the form of scaling and root planing (SRP) is provided to the patients assigned to the experimental group, after baseline examination. Scaling is performed using piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler (frequency of 28-36 KHz) and root planing is performed using area specific Gracey curettes (set of 7 instruments number #1-14). SRP is completed in two appointments of 45 min to 1 hour, within 24 hours period.
