Brief Summary: There is a strong crossway relationship between periodontitis and hypertension Hypertension is the most prevalent of cardiovascular diseases and its prevalence is increased by the presence of periodontitis Periodontal attachment loss is higher in hypertension patients when compared to healthy subjects Both are examples of non-communicable diseases NCDs also known as chronic inflammatory diseases they tend to be of long duration and are the result of a combination of genetic physiological and environmental factors The lack of an appropriate balance between these factors results in cellular changes as well as the levels of cytokines with subsequent changes in clinical manifestations of periodontal diseases Both periodontitis and hypertension are associated with inflammation and an increase in specific proinflammatory cytokines

Aim of the study To investigate the correlation between the clinical parameters and the levels of Endocan and TNF-α in gingival crevicular fluid GCF before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy NSPT in stage II periodontitis patients with hypertension in comparison to non-hypertensive patients
Detailed Description: Clinical assessment of specific clinical parameters plaque index gingival index probing depth clinical attachment level CAL as primary outcome Biochemical assessment of Endocan and TNF-α levels in GCF by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay ELISA as well as measurement of blood pressure at baseline and after 3 months as secondary outcomes

Study procedures

Details of the interventions testing and follow up

Group Case I

This group will include 20 patients diagnosed with stage II periodontitis and controlled hypertension They will receive NSPT and oral hygiene measures will be instructed following treatment

Group Control II

This group will include 20 patients diagnosed with stage II periodontitis and no hypertension They will receive NSPT and oral hygiene measures will be instructed following treatment

Study protocol and surgical steps

Before enrollment a detailed case history will be recorded A calibrated standard aneroid sphygmomanometer The average of 3 blood pressure values systolic blood pressure SBP and diastolic blood pressure DBP will be taken at 1 minute interval this will be used in data analyses

For all patients who are suitable for the study the following clinical evaluation parameters will be measured

Plaque index PI Gingival index GI Probing depth PD Bleeding on probing BOP Clinical attachment level CAL Standardized periapical radiograph

Note Full mouth assessment will be done and then the deepest site will be evaluated for the GCF sample

Baseline GCF samples will be taken the day after patients were clinically evaluated to prevent contamination with blood related to the probing of inflamed areas

The sample areas will be insulated with cotton rolls to prevent saliva contamination and all supragingival plaque will be eliminated The paper strips will be placed into the periodontal pocket and then permitted to remain for 30 seconds

All patients will undergo full mouth NSPT this will be done using ultrasonic and hand instruments

The patients will receive oral hygiene instructions including tooth brushing using modified bass technique All patients will be provided with toothbrush soft toothpaste signal and interdental cleaning with dental floss or interdental brush

Two weeks follow-up to ensure that appropriate oral hygiene instructions are followed The clinical parameter to be assessed will be PI and BOP patients with PI 2 and BOP 10 will be eliminated from the study

Then clinical evaluation collection of samples and measuring of SBP and DBP will be performed at 3 months after NSPT in both groups

The Outcomes Assessment

Clinical assessment Biochemical assessment Blood pressure measurement

For clinical assessment the following clinical parameters including PI GI PD BOP and CAL will be recorded for each individual at 1 site at baseline and 3 months postoperatively Clinical parameters of PI and BOP will be assessed at 2 weeks 4 weeks and 6 weeks follow ups to ensure proper oral hygiene Regarding biochemical analysis GCF samples will be collected preoperative and 3 months after NSPT Blood pressure measurements will be taken before and after 3 months of NSPT

Clinical Assessment The following clinical parameters will be taken using UNC15 Probe at baseline and 3 months postoperative

Plaque index

no plaque
plaque recognized only by running a probe across the tooth surface
plaque visible to the naked eye
abundance of soft matter

Gingival index

Normal gingiva
Mild inflammation - slight edema No bleeding on probing
Moderate inflammation -redness edema and glazing Bleeding on probing
Severe inflammation - marked redness and edema Ulceration Tendency for spontaneous bleeding

Probing depth

Will be measured from the gingival margin to the depth of the pocket at four points mesio-facial mid-facial disto-facial and mid-lingual to the nearest millimeter using UNC-15 periodontal probe The average of the three facial points will be recorded as the facial probing depth FPD while the mid-lingual point will be recorded as the lingual probing depth

Clinical attachment level CALWill be measured from the CEJ to the depth of the periodontal pocket

b Biochemical Assessment

Biochemical assessment will be done at the deepest pocket at baseline and 3 months after non-surgical periodontal therapy Endocan and TNF-α levels will be determined using commercial human Endocan ESM-1 and TNF-α ELISA Kits Measurements will be performed according to the manufacturers instructions

c Blood Pressure measurement Systolic and diastolic Blood pressure measurement will be done according to 2020 International Society of Hypertension Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines

IX Statistical Analysis The obtained results will be collected tabulated and subjected to appropriate statistical analysis
