No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The hypotheses tested were that levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) would be higher in patients with chronic periodontitis in comparison with those without periodontal disease and that the non-surgical periodontal treatment would decrease levels of CRP in patients with chronic periodontitis.

PROCEDURE

Non-surgical periodontal treatment

Patients included in the test group were submitted to a non-surgical periodontal treatment protocol, which consisted of oral hygiene orientation and motivation followed by mechanical plaque control involving scaling and root planning using Gracey curets (Hu-Friedy Manufacturing, Chicago, IL, USA) and ultrasonic instrumentation (Cavitron Ultrasonics, Long Island City, NY, USA), under local anesthesia (Mepivacaine 2% with epinephrine 1:100000). The treatment was performed in one or two sessions depending on the extension of the patient's periodontal condition. Patients that presented teeth unreasonable to treat due to advanced periodontitis, or any other condition were extracted under local anesthesia.
