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 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 looks at whether a standard deep-cleaning treatment for gum disease can improve heart health in people with stable angina. It may help by reducing inflammation that can affect your heart.
This study tests whether treating gum disease can affect a protein called asprosin in people with stable angina (chest pain from heart disease). It may help show if gum treatment can improve heart health.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) in young adults. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health without surgery.
This study tests whether treating moderate to severe gum disease can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. You would receive non-surgical gum treatment and be followed over time to see how it affects your heart health.
This study tests a standard deep-cleaning gum treatment in people who have both gum disease and well-controlled high blood pressure. The researchers will check the levels of certain proteins in your gum fluid to see if the treatment helps reduce inflammation, which might also benefit your blood pressure.
