Impact of Periodontal Inflammation on Allostatic Load

Official title: Impact of Subgingival Instrumentation on Allostatic Load in Periodontitis

Run by Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences Rohtak · NCT06978712 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether treating generalized periodontitis with subgingival instrumentation can influence the body’s cumulative stress load (allostatic load) in adults aged 30–50.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 30–50 with generalized periodontitis and at least 20 teeth (excluding third molars).

Probably not a fit

Individuals without significant periodontal inflammation or those outside the age/teeth criteria may see little or no change in allostatic load.

What this trial studies

This interventional study explores whether periodontal treatment can affect markers of allostatic load in adults with generalized periodontitis. Participants will receive subgingival instrumentation to reduce periodontal inflammation, and researchers will assess changes in biological stress markers and related health indicators. The goal is to clarify how oral inflammation relates to systemic stress and whether periodontal therapy can modulate this relationship. The study also considers how periodontitis staging and grading may relate to allostatic outcomes. Recruitment is limited to a specific geographic site in Rohtak, India.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If positive, treating periodontitis could help reduce systemic stress markers and potentially lower risk factors linked to chronic diseases.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research shows periodontal therapy reduces local and systemic inflammation, but effects on allostatic load are not well established, making this investigation exploratory.
