RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERIODONTAL DISEASE AND OBESITY- A CLINICAL STUDY

Dr Soniya Gurjar, Dr Aashish Kumar Singh

Abstract


Background- Obesity and periodontal disease are common chronic disease. This study attempts to study relationship between obesity oral bacteria and periodontal disease.

Method- Study included 350 subjects with age ranging 18-60 years. They were divided into 4 groups. Clinical parameters included Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Probing Pocket Depth and Clinical Attachment Loss. Anthropometric measurements like weight, height, waist circumferences and waist-hip ratio were evaluated.

Results- Comparing obesity and clinical periodontal parameters: Group-I (healthy) and Group-II (obese-I) were not statistically significant, whereas relationship between Group-1 (healthy) and Group-III (obese-II) as well as Group-1(healthy) and Group-IV (obese-III) were statistically significant .

Conclusion- Adipose tissue may serve as a reservoir for inflammatory cytokines, increasing body fat has likelihood, of stimulating active host inflammatory response in periodontal disease.

Keywords
