Abstract

Objective Periodontitis may contribute to vascular damage, resulting in the destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque leading to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this study, we explored the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on cardiovascular blood biomarkers and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) neutrophil elastase (NE) and alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha-1PI) levels in periodontitis (P) participants with and without ACS.
