Study & Design

- Observational
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the association of the levels of blood haemoglobin to the districution and severity of gingival melanin pigmentation at 3 different periodontal health status by Hedin Melanin IndexTimepoint: It will be measured at the time of recruitment (baseline) alone (cross sectional study)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The expression of study parameters in terms of Mean & SD for continuous variables, whereas in terms of frequency and proportions for categorical variables. <br/ ><br>To compare the pigmentation index between 03 groups. And similarly, gender wise comparison of hemoglobin concentration will be done using the same test. <br/ ><br>One-way ANOVA test followed by Tukeys HSD post hoc Analysis will be used to compare the mean hemoglobin levels based on the pigmentation index scores in each group. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: All values will be assessed at the time of recruitment (baseline) alone being a cross sectional study
