Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
  • Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria List the inclusion/exclusion criteria:
  • There will be three groups in the study:
  • Control groups: There will be 2 control groups. The data from these two groups will help establish the baseline for the different parameters to be evaluated in the experimental population.
  • 1\) Group 1: moderate to severe generalized periodontitis (PD) (no kidney disease).
  • 2\) Group 2: healthy controls, no PD or kidney disease. Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects of both sexes, 21 to 75 years of age will be included.
  • Subjects must have moderate to severe generalized periodontitis (PD) (Group 1) (n=50) or no PD (Group 2) (n=50). PD is defined as a patient in the 3rd or later decades of life with the presence of at least 20 natural teeth, \>30% of which exhibit: probing depth \> 6mm, attachment loss \> 3 mm, bleeding on probing, alveolar bone crest \> 3 mm from cemento-enamel junction \[CEJ\]. Healthy controls will also have \> 20 teeth, but no alveolar bone loss, attachment loss or BOP and alveolar bone crest 1-2 mm from the CEJ.
  • No kidney disease
  • All potential subjects must sign an informed consent prior to study enrollment.
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Periodontal treatment (i.e., surgical or nonsurgical) within 3 months prior to enrollment.
  • Treatment with antibiotics within 3 months prior to enrollment.
  • Presence of heart murmur, history of rheumatic fever, valvular disease, prosthetic joint replacement necessitating antibiotic prophylaxis.
  • Kidney disease
  • Cancer or chronic viral infections such as HIV and hepatitis B
  • Inability to take Metronidazole and Amoxicillin combination due to allergy.
  • Experimental group:
  • 3\) Group 3: Patients with chronic kidney disease : i. Group 3a- stage 5 (without dialysis, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 20)/ stage 5D (on dialysis), awaiting kidney transplant. (n=50) ii. Group 3b- Stages 2-4 (patients who have had either a living donor transplant (n=25), or deceased donor transplant within the last 2 years (n=25), with /without no history of rejection of kidney transplant) (total n=50).
  • Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects of both sexes, 21 to 75 years of age will be included.
  • All potential subjects must sign an informed consent prior to study enrollment.
  • All potential subjects should be able to drive or be driven to the DCG for dental treatment and follow-up visits.
  • For Group 3b subjects, post-transplant group, glomerular filtration rate with creatinine clearance rate should be in the range of 1.5 - 1.9 ml/min. This will yield a more uniform subject population for statistical analysis of the data.
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Active, chronic viral infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C (these patients are immunocompromised and on antiviral drugs, which might result in an altered immune profile for such patients).
  • Inability to take Metronidazole and Amoxicillin combination due to allergy or poor kidney function.
