Assessment of the Effect of Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment on Endothelial Function- a Prospective Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
An association between periodontitis and endothelial dysfunction has been reported, suggesting that periodontitis presents an inflammatory burden to the cardiovascular system, that might lead to AVD. The study aims aim to assess whether non-surgical periodontal therapy enhances endothelial function in periodontitis patients using a non-invasive diagnostic device to assess endothelial function through PWA and the assessment of levels of salivary Endothelin-1, in a population of people in the UAE.
