- Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the serum lipid and fasting blood glucose level in periodontally healthy and chronic periodontitis patients. Materials and Methods 100 periodontally healthy (Control group) and an equal number of chronic periodontitis patients (Test group) were recruited in this study. Clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth, clinical attachment levels, plaque index and gingival index were recorded along with demographics such as age, sex and body mass index. Serum lipids (Low density lipoproteins, High density lipoproteins, Triglycerides and Total cholesterol) and fasting blood glucose level were measured by routine enzymatic methods. Results Levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins, triglycerides and fasting blood glucose were significantly higher in test group as compared to control group. The level of high density lipoproteins was higher in controls than test group. Summary and Conclusions It can be concluded that, within limitations of this study, periodontal destruction is associated with an increase in the levels of serum fasting blood glucose, low density lipoproteins, total cholesterol and triglycerides whereas reduction in levels of high density lipoproteins is observed.
