Intensive gum treatment for aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether intensive gum disease treatment can improve health in people with aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve). If you have both gum disease and mild-to-moderate aortic stenosis, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have aortic stenosis with a valve velocity between 3.0 and 3.9 m/s (a measure of how fast blood flows through the narrowed valve).
- Your aortic stenosis is caused by age-related wear and tear (degenerative).
- You have gum disease (gingivitis or mild-to-moderate periodontitis) confirmed by a dentist.
- You are willing to get gum treatment and follow the study procedures.

This study tests if non-surgical gum treatment can improve heart health markers in people with stable angina. It may help you if you have gum disease and stable chest pain from heart disease.
This trial is for people with aortic valve disease (aortic valve narrowing, leakage, or a worn-out valve). It tests what the doctors learn from following these patients, and it may help improve future care.
This study examines whether treating gum disease can help improve heart health in people with stable angina (chest pain from heart disease). Researchers will measure changes in a protein called asprosin to see if gum therapy affects heart condition.
This trial tests a new heart valve device (Venus-Vitae) for people with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart valve is too tight. It aims to see if the device works well for patients of all surgical risk levels.
This study tests whether non-surgical treatment for moderate to severe gum disease can help lower cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risk. It focuses on people who already have a higher estimated 10-year heart risk, and checks changes after gum therapy.
This study tests a gentle, non-surgical gum treatment for people with advanced gum disease who have deep pockets around their teeth. Researchers want to see how well the treatment works and whether smoking affects healing.
