Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the study were (1)To assess serum lipid levels among healthy subjects. (2) To assess serum lipid levels among subjects with chronic generalized periodontitis. (3) To compare the serum lipid profile among healthy subjects with that of patients having periodontitis. METHODS: A cross sectional study comprising of 50 subjects, 25 subjects with chronic periodontitis and 25 healthy subjects (30-50 years). Serum lipid level (HDL,LDL,VLDL,TGL,TC) of all subjects were measured and compared. RESULTS: The mean difference between total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, VLDL and LDL values of test and control groups are 14.5 (p<0.02) 11.1 (p<0.038) , 2.2 (p<0.784), 2.23 (p<0038.), and 7.96(p<0.046) respectively as compared to the controls. Results obtained in this study showed significant association between pronounced alterations in lipid profile of patients with generalized chronic periodontitis as compared to the healthy control groups. CONCLUSION: The present study suggests that Plasma lipid levels significantly correlates with chronic periodontitis and hyperlipidemia.
