Effect of Periodontitis on Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women
NCT ID: NCT02628197 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 68 Completion: 2015-06
Conditions
PERIODONTITIS, Osteopenia
Interventions
calcium (500mg) and vitamin D (250I.U.), Scaling and root planing
Summary
The purpose of this interventional study was to investigate the impact of control of systemic inflammation by scaling and root planing (SRP) on bone mineral density (BMD) in osteopenic post-menopausal women with Chronic periodontitis(CP). Out of 68 osteopenic postmenopausal women with CP, 34 participants each were included in test and control group. BMD, hsCRP and periodontal parameters were recorded at baseline and 6 months.
Primary Outcome
bone mineral density
