Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: HIV,Periodontitis
  • Age: 18 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates how treating periodontitis, a serious gum infection, affects the amount of bacteria in the bloodstream and the immune system. Periodontitis can lead to inflammation and damage to the tissues and bones that support the teeth, and it is important to understand its impact on overall health.

Participants in this study will undergo procedures to treat periodontitis. The study will measure changes in the bacteria present in the bloodstream and assess immune system responses. The procedures aim to provide insights into the relationship between oral health and systemic health.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be adults diagnosed with periodontitis and in general good health.
  • Study details: Participants will receive treatment for periodontitis and have their blood tested to measure bacteria levels and immune responses. An inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine/vaccine but does not contain any medicine may be used as a placebo.
