Estimation of serum C-reactive protein activity in periodontal health and disease and response to treatment: a clinico-biochemical study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease affecting periodontium having multifactorial etiology, can cause significant systemic challengein addition to localized inflammation, tissue damage, and bone resorption. A serological marker of systemic inflammation known as C-reactive protein has been linked to an increased risk for a number of pathological conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.

Aim

To estimate levels of serum C-reactive protein in healthy individuals and subjects with periodontal diseases and to compare serum C-reactive protein levels in subjects having periodontal disease pre-operatively & post-operatively.

Materials and methods

The study was conducted on 60 subjects age ranging from 35 to 60 years. 30 individuals with healthy periodo
