Myocardial Infarction and Periodontitis: Periodontal Health Intervention.

December 17, 2024 updated by: Ya-Wei Xu, Shanghai 10th People's Hospital

Oral Health Intervention Study in Patients with Myocardial Infarction and Periodontal Disease: a Simulated RCT Trial

The aim of this study is to establish a shared database of acute myocardial infarction patients with periodontitis, to clarify the clinical benefits of periodontitis intervention on acute myocardial infarction patients through simulated RCT study, and to establish a high-level database of acute myocardial infarction patients with periodontitis, so as to promote the application of oral health intervention in clinical practice.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Periodontal Health Intervention Group

Participants in this arm will receive comprehensive periodontal health interventions, including:

  1. Full periodontal evaluation using dental mirrors and probes (assessing visible plaque, probing depth, bleeding on probing, and attachment loss).
  2. Supragingival scaling, root planing, and professional plaque removal.
  3. Temporary restoration of carious lesions and extraction of root remnants, as needed.
  4. Personalized oral hygiene instruction, including the use of multi-tufted brushes, toothpaste, floss, and interdental brushes.

In the intervention group, patients underwent a comprehensive periodontal evaluation conducted by periodontists at a dental clinic. All permanent teeth, except for third molars, were assessed using dental mirrors and periodontal probes. Each tooth was examined at four sites (vestibular, distal, lingual, and mesial) to evaluate visible plaque, probing depth, probing bleeding, and attachment loss.

During the first treatment session, patients were provided with information about periodontal disease, emphasizing the importance of controlling supragingival bacterial biofilms for successful treatment. Plaque-retentive factors (calculus) were removed. Temporary materials were used to restore carious lesions, root remnants were extracted, and maladaptive restorations were adjusted. Supragingival calculus was removed using periodontal scalers, followed by cleaning with a rubber cup, prophylaxis paste, dental floss, and/or interdental brushes. No prophylactic antibiotics were used prior to the

No Intervention: Standard Care Group
Participants in this arm will receive standard care without specific periodontal interventions. This includes routine medical management for myocardial infarction, as per standard clinical guidelines, without structured periodontal treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in ejection fraction
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 months
The ejection fraction (EF) changed by 10% half a year after surgery
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cardiovascular death and MACE events were recorded
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 months, a maximum of 12 months.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 months, a maximum of 12 months.
level of proBNP
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 months
The outcome will be assessed by measuring the level of plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a biomarker reflecting cardiac stress and heart failure.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 months
