The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on circulating levels of the systemic inflammation-associated biomarkers orosomucoid (ORM), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), chemerin, and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) in overweight or normal-weight patients with periodontitis at 27.5 months after therapy.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 ) or moderate (21-24 kg/m ) 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 three-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.At the 27.5-month examination, ORM and hsCRP decreased noticeably in the overweight group (ORM: p=0.001, hsCRP: p=0.004) and normal-weight patients (ORM: p=0.007, hsCRP: p<0.001). Chemerin decreased in the overweight group (p=0.048), and RBP4 concentrations remained stable.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.
