Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine whether platelets count were changed in patients with chronic periodontitis as compared to healthy subjects. Methodology: A total of 154 systemically healthy subjects (73 periodontally healthy and 81 with chronic periodontitis) of age group 25-50 years were selected. Periodontal parameters including Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Pocket Depth (PD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) were measured. Venous blood samples were taken to analyze the platelet count. Result and Conclusions: The platelet count was higher in subjects with chronic periodontitis as compared to healthy but the result was statistically non significant.
