Study population: This clinical study was performed by the local clinics which belonged to Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association, Tokyo Dental Practitioners Association, and Chiba Medical Practitioners Association. 37 patients (with lifestyle-related diseases under consultation in either of 16 medical clinics), and 79 periodontal patients (not undergoing treatment at a medical clinic,) were enrolled. The subjects constituted a broad cross-section of the local society. Medical treatment at an internal medicine clinic and clinical periodontal treatment including periodontal surgery at a dental clinic were performed on all the subjects. Twenty-six patients dropped out of the study and medical treatment and periodontal treatment were provided to the remaining 90 subjects (mean ages: 59.2 ± 12.3 yrs).

Who may be able to join

  • Periodontal disease: inflamed gingiva with positive for bleeding on probing or teeth with probing pocket depth more than 4 mm Lifestyle-related disease: Plaques are included when maximum IMT is measured. Furthermore, hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure of more than 90 mm Hg, or both, or patients already being treated by anti-hypertensive agents. Hypercholesterolemia was defined by serum concentration of LDL-C of more than 140 mg/dL, or patients already being treated by lipid-lowering agents. Diabetes mellitus was defined by HbA1c of more than 6.9 % (NGSP value) or fasting blood sugar of more than 126 mg/dl or both, or patients already being treated by agents for diabetes.

Who cannot join

  • At initial consultation and examination (Baseline), patients with less than 6 months after the onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and with a past history or complication of serious heart disease were excluded. Similarly, those with less than 6 months after cardiovascular revascularization surgery, less than 6 months after the onset of cerebrovascular disorder, or serious liver disease or renal disease were also excluded.

About this study

Official title: Analysis of the Relationship Between Periodontal Disease and Atherosclerosis Within a Local Cooperation System of Japanese Medical Services

Objective: We aimed at analyzing the relationship between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis in medical treatment and periodontal treatment under medical and dental care across borders in a local cooperation system of Japanese medical services.

Materials and methods:

  • A prospective multi-center case cohort study was conducted on 37 ambulatory medical patients (with lifestyle-related diseases under consultation in either of the medical clinics registered as collaborative investigation facilities) and 79 periodontal patients (who were seen by the dental clinics registered as collaborative investigation facilities).
  • Medical treatment and clinical periodontal treatment were provided on the subjects under medical and dental care across borders by each internal medicine and dental clinics.
  • Systemic examination of lifestyle-related disease and periodontal examination were performed before and after periodontal treatment, and the relationships between periodontal and atherosclerosis-related clinical markers were analyzed before and after periodontal treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Disease and Atherosclerosis, run by Okayama University at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Relation between probing pocket depth and anti-periodontopathic bacteria IgG antibody titer for periodontitis and the MAX intima-media thickness, urea sugar, urea protein, urea occult blood, creatinine, and eGFR for atherosclerosis (time frame: an expected average of 1.5 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2013.
