Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis with and without coronary artery disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis with and without coronary artery disease.

Seventy-five participants were selected and grouped into 3 categories; 25 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and coronary artery disease: CP + CAD group; 25 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis alone: CP group; and 25 systemically and periodontally healthy controls (HP). Demographic variables, periodontal parameters, cardiac parameters, blood pressure were obtained. miRNA-146a and miRNA126 levels were assessed in subgingival plaque (SP) samples from all the three groups. Within CP+CAD group, SP samples of CP+CADa were compared with coronary plaques samples (CP) of CP+CADb while the patient underwent CABG.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

CP + CHD group

This was further divided into CP + CHDa (Subgingival plaque) and CP + CHDb (Coronary plaque) based on the nature of plaque collected.

No interventions assigned to this group

CP group

25 patients with chronic periodontitis who were systemically healthy were selected

No interventions assigned to this group

HP group

25 patients who were systemically and periodontally healthy, were considered as HP group.

No interventions assigned to this group
