The Impact of Correct and Efficient Oral Hygiene Maneuvers on Markers of Systemic Inflammation and Overall Well-being
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of oral hygiene changes (drastic plaque and gingival inflammation reduction) on markers of systemic inflammation and indicators of oral health related quality of life and other aspects related to overall well-being.
The primary objective is to assess a possible reduction of systemic inflammation as measured through blood bio-markers one month after drastic changes of plaque accumulation. As primary outcome measure, the level of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) will be assessed.
Conditions: Gingivitis.
Primary outcome: Change from baseline of High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) at 1 month.
Enrollment: 140 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 140 participants or records.
