Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status (TAS), 8-hydroxy-2´- deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in blood serum and saliva samples in female patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and to compared healthy individuals.

Materials and Methods: A total of 88 women were into four groups each which were consisted of twenty-two subjects. Groups were designed as periodontally and systemically healthy women (PCOS-CP-); periodontally healthy women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (PCOS+CP-), systemically healthy women with CP (PCOS-,CP+) and women with PCOS and CP (PCOS+CP+). Serum and salivary samples were obtained, clinical periodontal parameters were recorded. MDA, TAS, 8-OHdG levels were measured as biochemically.

Detailed Description

RESULTS:

Salivary 8-OHdG levels in the PCOSCP and CP groups were statistically higher than those in both the PCOSPH and the PH groups (P \< 0.05). There was no statistical difference between the PCOSCP, CP, and PCOSPH groups with regard to salivary MDA and TAS levels (P \> 0.05). Highest serum 8-OHdG and MDA levels and lowest serum TAS levels were seen in the PCOSCP group (P \< 0.05). Serum 8-OHdG and MDA levels in the PCOSPH group were higher than those in both systemically healthy groups (PH and CP) (P \< 0.05). Salivary TAS levels were highest (P \< 0.05) in the PH group. There was no statistical difference between the CP and PCOSPH groups, but serum TAS levels were lower than those in the PH group (P \< 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:

CP, which led to an increase in serum and salivary 8-OHdG and MDA levels and a decrease in serum TAS levels in patients with PCOS, contributed to increased OS. This effect was more prominent in serum levels than in salivary levels.
