Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: 42 patients with RA and periodontitis from the RA Almenara cohort will be included (ACR 1987 and or ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria with more than 16 years old at diagnosis); those with \<6 teeth, current infections, cancer or oral precancerous lesions, diabetics, Sjogren's syndrome, use of antibiotics or drugs associated with dry mouth and dental surgery, will be excluded. Periodontal Disease was defined by the presence of periodontitis stage 3 or 4 with at least 2 non-adjacent teeth with insertion loss \>=5mm, probing depth \>=5mm and bleeding on probing according with the 2018 periodontitis diagnostic criteria.
Two RA patients groups will be follow up by monthly visits. Patients will be divided into two groups (intervention and no intervention treatment). PD treatment will be performed by a qualified periodontist. No intervention group will receive PD treatment after 6 month visit because ethical principles. Disease activity will be determined according with DAS 28index, Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and Simple Disease Activity Index (SDAI) scores, C-reactive protein (CRP), the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and rheumatoid factor levels will be registered before and after PD treatment (baseline, 3 and 6 months visits), and the differences between the groups will be analyzed and compared. Periodontal parameters including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss, and sulcus bleeding index (SBI) will be correlated with the factor levels.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control
The control group will be comprised by those who will not receive any specific oral care intervention. For ethical reasons, the control group will receive periodontal therapy at the Endo of the study (after 6 months). In those cases presenting periodontal disease progression in a single tooth, the patients will be treated and withdrawn from the study
No interventions assigned to this group
Non-surgical periodontal treatment
Periodontal treatment will be performed with scaling and root planning (SRP).SRP will be performed under local anesthesia during a single, 2-hour, full-mouth ultrasonic and hand instrument debridement using curettes.
Oral hygiene instructions (patient education and motivation to control plaque and calculus accumulation)
Non-surgical periodontal treatment
SRP will be performed under local anesthesia during a single, 2-hour, full-mouth ultrasonic and hand instrument debridement using curettes.
Oral hygiene instructions (to educate and motivate patients to control the accumulation of plaque and calculus)

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Age ≥16 years at the time of diagnosis and who do not meet criteria of overlap with any other autoimmune disease.
* Presence of six or more permanent teeth in the mouth, excluding third molars.
* Presence of periodontitis stage 3 or 4 with at least 2 non-adjacent teeth with insertion loss \>=5mm, probing depth \>=5mm and bleeding on probing according to Tonetti et al.\[35\].
