Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Full-mouth scaling and root planing (FM-SRP) acts as a potent inflammatory stimulus immediately after treatment; however, systemic inflammation typically improves in the long term. The contribution of FM-SRP to systemic biological and acute-phase responses is largely unknown. The purpose of this prospective intervention study was to assess the systemic and local biological responses after FM-SRP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-one patients with generalized moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis received 1-stage FM-SRP. Measurement of clinical parameters and body temperature as well as collection of subgingival plaque, peripheral blood and gingival crevicular fluid was performed before and after treatment 2 or 3 times. Quantification of periodontopathic bacteria in the sulcus and measurement of corresponding serum IgG titers were performed. Systemic and local inflammatory markers such as endotoxin, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and 6 inflammatory cytokines were assessed using high-sensitivity assays. RESULTS: Compared to baseline values, FM-SRP resulted in a substantial improvement in clinical parameters (P < .05), lower bacterial counts (P < .01) and a significant decrease of IgG titers against Porphyromonas gingivalis (P < .001) 6 weeks after treatment. Comparing baseline parameters to those at 1 day post-treatment, there was a statistically significant elevation in body temperature (P = .007). In addition, a 5-fold increase in hs-CRP (P < .001), a remarkable increase in interferon-γ (P < .001) and a slight increase in interleukin (IL)-12p70 (P = .001) were detected in serum samples. In the gingival crevicular fluid, marked increases in hs-CRP (P < .001), IL-5 (P = .001), IL-6, IL-12p70 and tumor necrosis factor-α (P < .001 for the latter 3 markers) were noted 1 day after treatment. Endotoxin levels were below measurable limits for most time points. CONCLUSION: FM-SRP resulted in clinical and microbiological improvement 6 weeks post-treatment, but produced a moderate systemic acute-phase response including elevated inflammatory mediators 1 day post-treatment.
