Relationship between ABO Blood Group and Periodontal Disease: A Clinical Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to determine the association between periodontal diseases and ABO blood groups, particularly in relation to a specific geographic location, namely Kamrup District, Assam. Methods: A total of 310 subjects aged between 16 to 57 years was selected for the study based on the clinical findings. They were divided in to three groups: subjects with healthy gingiva (group I), subjects with chronic gingivitis (group II) and subjects with chronic periodontitis (group III). Blood samples were collected to identify ABO blood groups. Results: The subjects with blood group B had a greater propensity for both gingivitis and periodontitis, while relatively higher percentage of subjects with healthy gingiva belong to blood group O. Conclusion: Blood group points toward susceptibility of the subjects to periodontal disease. However, studies with large-sized samples are needed to make a more comprehensive assessment of the association of ABO group on periodontal diseases.
