The aim of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of a dentifrice medicated with 2% atorvastatin in improving clinical periodontal parameters as a complement to non\u2010surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> A randomized, double\u2010masked clinical trial was performed with two parallel groups: 1) atorvastatin group (NSPT plus medicated 2% atorvastatin dentifrice) and 2) placebo group (NSPT plus placebo dentifrice). The effectiveness of these treatments was assessed using periodontal measurements obtained at baseline and 1 month later. The measurements were probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI), and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA). Multiple linear regression models were used to compare outcome variables after adjusting for sex, diabetes, and tobacco use.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> A total of 36 individuals participated in this study (atorvastatin group, n = 18; placebo group, n = 18).
