Abstract：Objective To investigate the safety of periodontal mechanical therapy with whole course electrocardiographic monitoring in chronic periodontitis patients with stable coronary heart disease.Methods From April 2013 to May 2015,69 chronic periodontitis patients with stable coronary heart disease were enrolled as observation group and 50 patients with simple chronic periodontitis were enrolled as control group in Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University.All patients had periodontal mechanical treatments (probing,supragingival and subgingival scaling) with whole course electrocardiographic monitoring.Changes of heart rate,blood pressure and oxygen saturation were recorded.Results No abnormal fluctuations of heart rate,blood pressure and oxygen saturation were observed during and after periodontal treatments.Systolic pressure 5 min after supragingival scaling in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group [(124 ± 10) mmHg vs (120 ± 10) mmHg](P =0.035).Systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,heart rate and oxygen saturation at any other time-points during and after scaling had no significant differences between groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Periodontal mechanical therapy can be safely performed in stable coronary heart disease patients.
