Serum Lipid Levels and Lp-PLA2 in Chronic Periodontitis

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Periodontitis (Disorder)

• Registration Number: NCT03041480
• Lead Sponsor: Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital

Brief Summary

To assess the association between periodontal parameters, serum lipid profile and Lp-PLA2 level in systemically healthy Chronic Periodontitis subjects and healthy controls.

Detailed Description

Seventy five participants were divided into 3 groups. The groups consisted of GROUP I- generalized severe chronic periodontitis, GROUP II- generalized moderate chronic periodontitis and GROUP III- systemically and periodontally healthy volunteers who served as control. The selected patients were then evaluated for periodontal parameters, lipid profile and Lp-PLA2.
