Abstract
Ante la presencia de evidencia científica suficiente que apoya la asociación de las enfermedades cardiovasculares y las enfermedades periodontales, y las dificultades existentes a la hora de realizar estudios de intervención que permitan evaluar los beneficios del tratamiento periodontal en la enfermedad cardiovascular, se propone el siguiente ensayo clínico de 6 meses de duración con pacientes con antecedentes de síndrome coronario agudo ocurrido hace menos de un año y con periodontitis crónica moderada-avanzada, donde el grupo test recibe tratamiento periodontal básico en 2 días consecutivos junto con enjuagues con clorhexidina durante diez días, mientras el grupo control recibe una profilaxis dental acompañado de enjuagues con flúor durante diez días.
