Gum treatment and heart health in stable angina
Part of Heart & circulation, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 looks at whether a deep gum cleaning (called scaling and root planing) can change the level of a chemical in your blood called endothelin-1, which may be linked to gum disease. If you have moderate gum disease and are otherwise healthy, this treatment might help improve your gum 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.
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.
This study compares dental health in people who were recently admitted for a heart attack with similar people who have not had a heart attack. It aims to see whether gum and dental health might be related to heart attack risk.
