Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was to evaluate the association of P.gingivalis with CRP levels in chronic generalized periodontitis subjects and periodontally healthy subjects. A total of 100 subjects aged between 20 yrs to 65 yrs were selected. Data was collected by an interview with the help of a proforma prepared for this study and dental examination was carried out. Subgingival plaque and blood samples were collected and were subjected for biochemical analysis. Results have shown that patients with the presence of P.gingivalis in the case group exhibited significantly elevated CRP level when compared to control group. They concluded that a significant relationship was observed between increased serum CRP level and the presence of P.gingivalis.
