Systolic blood pressure (mmHg), change from baseline · Adults (any age/sex) with chronic periodontitis (>=5 teeth remaining; PPD >4 mm), with or without hypertension
Intensive periodontal treatment (subgingival SRP with or without… probably leads to lower change in systolic blood pressure (SBP, mmHg) compared with supra-gingival scaling (moderate certainty).
