Gum treatment for patients with high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-surgical gum cleaning treatment can help people with high blood pressure and gum disease. It looks at certain markers in the gum fluid to see if the treatment reduces inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have both gum disease (stage II periodontitis) and high blood pressure that is controlled (systolic under 140 and diastolic under 90).
- You are between 30 and 70 years old.
- You have at least 20 natural teeth (not counting wisdom teeth).
- You are willing to follow at-home teeth cleaning instructions and come in for follow-up visits.

This trial tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment. It is for people diagnosed with periodontitis who are otherwise healthy and do not smoke.
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 study tests a new non-surgical gum treatment for advanced gum disease. It uses a special rinse and gel to clean deep gum pockets without surgery. It may help reduce gum infection and improve healing.
This study looks at whether eating more nitrate-rich vegetables changes inflammatory markers and the balance of bacteria in the mouth for people with periodontitis (serious gum disease). It may help us understand better diet-based support alongside standard non-surgical gum treatment.
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.
This study looks at gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
