Assessment and Correlation of Salivary Ca, Mg, and pH in Smokers and Non-Smokers with Generalized Chronic Periodontitis

Medicina, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 59(4), P. 765 - 765

Published: April 14, 2023

Background and Objectives: Diagnostic evaluation with the aid of biomarkers has reached newer heights to assess disease activity. Salivary calcium, magnesium, pH are one biochemical parameters which can be helpful in assessing progression periodontal disease. Smokers at topnotch threat for having oral diseases, predominantly diseases. The aim this study was salivary levels smokers compared non-smokers chronic periodontitis. Materials Methods: current conducted on 210 individuals affected generalized periodontitis, age group between 25 55 years. Based their smoking habit, an equal number patients were categorized into two groups; namely, I consisted II smokers. clinical that measured included Plaque Index (PI), Gingival (GI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL). variables evaluated using AVL9180 electrolyte analyzer (Roche, Germany). gathered data analyzed unpaired t test SPSS 20.0. Results: A statistically significant higher PPD (p < 0.01), CAL 0.05), calcium 0.001) observed smokers’ non-smoking counterparts. Among parameters, showed a significantly level (5.79 ± 1.76) contrast (3.87 1.03). Additionally, negative correlation 0.05) non-smokers, whereas non-significant inverse relation > seen Conclusions: present indicates potential parameter non-smokers. Within limitations study, appear have essential role identification indication status

Evaluation of Periodontal Status and Serum C-Reactive Protein Levels in Adult Cigarette Smokers

Pakistan Journal of Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(4), P. 176 - 179

Published: Dec. 28, 2023

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the periodontal status of adult smokers and assess their serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, hypothesizing an association between inflammation, smoking, elevated CRP, a marker for cardiovascular diseases. The primary objective is contribute assessment prevention potential diseases in smokers. Methods: cross-sectional was conducted at HIT Hospital Dental HITEC-IMS Taxila Cantt over five months from October 20, 2021, March 31, 2022, included 60 healthy male 20 non-smokers as control. Basic examination involved use probe, assessing parameters such gingival index, bleeding on probing, oral pigmentation, presence pockets, recession. Blood samples were collected CRP levels. Results: Smokers exhibited higher rates recession (38.3%), pigmentation (43.3%), pocket formation (33.3%) compared nonsmokers control group, with significant p-values 0.040 0.035 pockets. Serum levels significantly smokers, p-value 0.024. Conclusion: concluded that show signs periodontitis, are elevated. Assessing may aid risk reducing likelihood developing future
