The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis with and without coronary artery disease.
The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis with and without coronary artery disease.
Seventy-five participants were selected and grouped into 3 categories; 25 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and coronary artery disease: CP + CAD group; 25 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis alone: CP group; and 25 systemically and periodontally healthy controls (HP). Demographic variables, periodontal parameters, cardiac parameters, blood pressure were obtained. miRNA-146a and miRNA126 levels were assessed in subgingival plaque (SP) samples from all the three groups. Within CP+CAD group, SP samples of CP+CADa were compared with coronary plaques samples (CP) of CP+CADb while the patient underwent CABG.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| CP + CHD group | This was further divided into CP + CHDa (Subgingival plaque) and CP + CHDb (Coronary plaque) based on the nature of plaque collected. | ||
| CP group | 25 patients with chronic periodontitis who were systemically healthy were selected | ||
| HP group | 25 patients who were systemically and periodontally healthy, were considered as HP group. |
