We conducted a controlled and randomized trial to evaluate the periodontal condition and plasma concentrations of hsCRP, albumin and transferrin in 56 dialysis patients divided into two groups: experimental and control. The study was conducted at the dental clinic of Family and Community Health s Unit (USFC), located in Onofre Lopes University Hospital (HUOL), Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), from December 2010 to November 2011. Severe periodontitis was the type of periodontal disease more common, affecting 78.6% of patients. Periodontal conditions, evaluated through the means of probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding index and plaque index, proved to be uniform for both groups at the initial examination. There were no differences in levels of inflammatory markers between the two groups. The analysis of the concentrations of hsCRP allowed classifying study participants as at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. After completion of periodontal treatment in the experimental group, there was a statistically significant reduction of the mean of all periodontal parameters assessed; however this improvement of periodontal health was not accompanied by changes in the levels of hsCRP, albumin and transferrin in the evaluation time. Given this, the periodontal treatment did not promote the reduction of systemic inflammatory burden and risk of cardiovascular complications in patients with CRF / O presente estudo se prop?s a avaliar a influ?ncia do tratamento periodontal n?o cir?rgico sobre os n?veis da prote?na C reativa (PCR-US) em indiv?duos com Insufici?ncia Renal Cr?nica (IRC) em fase de pr?-transplante. Realizou-se um ensaio cl?nico, controlado e randomizado para avaliar as condi??es periodontais e as concentra??es plasm?ticas de PCRUS, albumina e transferrina em 56 pacientes dial?ticos com doen?a periodontal divididos em dois grupos: Experimental e Controle. O estudo foi realizado no ambulat?rio odontol?gico da Unidade de Sa?de Familiar e Comunit?ria (USFC), localizada no Hospital Universit?rio Onofre Lopes (HUOL), Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), no per?odo de dezembro de 2010 a novembro de 2011. A periodontite severa foi o tipo de doen?a periodontal mais frequente, acometendo 78,6% dos pacientes. As condi??es periodontais, avaliadas atrav?s das m?dias da profundidade de sondagem, n?vel de inser??o cl?nica, ?ndice de sangramento e ?ndice de biofilme se mostraram uniformes para os dois grupos no exame inicial. Tamb?m n?o foram encontradas diferen?as nos n?veis dos marcadores inflamat?rios entre os grupos. A an?lise inicial das concentra??es da PCR-US permitiu classificar os participantes do estudo como de alto risco para o desenvolvimento de doen?as cardiovasculares. Ap?s a realiza??o do tratamento periodontal no grupo Experimental, houve redu??o estatisticamente significante das m?dias de todos os par?metros periodontais avaliados, entretanto esta melhora das condi??es de sa?de periodontal n?o foi acompanhada pela altera??o dos n?veis da PCR-US, albumina e transferrina no tempo de avalia??o da pesquisa. Diante disto, o tratamento periodontal n?o promoveu a redu??o da carga inflamat?ria sist?mica e o risco de desenvolvimento de complica??es cardiovasculares nos indiv?duos com IRC
