Intensive periodontal treatment (subgingival SRP with or without other periodontal treatment) vs No treatment (no periodontal treatment): Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), change from baseline
- Population
- Adults (any age/sex) with chronic periodontitis (>=5 teeth remaining; PPD >4 mm), with or without hypertension
- Intervention
- Intensive periodontal treatment (subgingival SRP with or without other periodontal treatment)
- Comparison
- No treatment (no periodontal treatment)
- Outcome
- Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), change from baseline
Periodontal treatment (subgingival SRP with or without other… showed no clear difference in change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP, mmHg) compared with no treatment (no periodontal treatment) (low certainty).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
