Materials and methods This exploratory subanalysis includes patients from the ABPARO-trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00707369). The per-protocol collective provided untreated periodontitis patients with high (≥28 kg/m\(^{2}\)) or moderate (21-24 kg/m\(^{2}\)) BMI. Out of the per-protocol collective, 80 patients were randomly selected and stratified for BMI group, sex, and treatment group (antibiotics/placebo), resulting in 40 overweight and normal-weight patients. Patients received non-surgical periodontal therapy and maintenance at 3-month intervals. Plasma samples from baseline and 27.5 months following initial treatment were used to measure the concentrations of ORM, hsCRP, chemerin, and RBP4. Results At the 27.5-month examination, ORM and hsCRP decreased noticeably in the overweight group (ORM: p = .001, hsCRP: p = .004) and normal-weight patients (ORM: p = .007, hsCRP: p < .001). Chemerin decreased in the overweight group (p = .048), and RBP4 concentrations remained stable. Conclusion Non-surgical periodontal therapy reduced systemically elevated inflammation-associated biomarkers in periodontitis patients. These improvements were more pronounced in overweight patients than in normal-weight patients.}, language = {en} }
