Correlation between Oral Health and Systemic Inflammation (COHESION): A Randomized Pilot Follow Up Trial of a Plaque Identifying Toothpaste

Inflammation is intimately involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and is accurately measured by high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a sensitive marker for future risk of cardiovascular disease. The Correlation between Oral Health and Systemic Inflammation (COHESION) trial was designed to test the hypothesis that PlaqueHD, a plaque identifying toothpaste, reduces hs-CRP.
