Chronic periodontitis is a long-term inflammatory disorder of the mouth that affects the teeth's supporting components. It causes tooth loss, bone loss, and attachment loss. Recent studies have linked it to diabetes, cardiovascular illness, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary disease, obesity, and pre-term low birth weight kids, among other systemic disorders affecting the body. Diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease are all symptoms of metabolic syndrome, which is a group of disorders. In light of the foregoing, the purpose of this study was to determine the link between chronic periodontitis and metabolic syndrome.
The study's goals were to compare the periodontal health of metabolic syndrome patients to that of healthy people in general.
II. Determine whether the periodontal state corresponded to the metabolic component readings.
Methods: This study included a total of ninety patients. Group one consisted of 45 patients with metabolic syndrome who were confirmed, while group two comprised of 45 healthy controls who were age and sex matched. Plaque index, Ainamo & Bay Gingival Bleeding Index, Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Clinical Attachment Level (CEJ), total number of missing teeth, and causes for extraction were all recorded. Height, weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, BMI, serum lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, and blood pressure were all measured as part of the medical examination and blood tests. The NCEP ATP III definition of metabolic syndrome was used. Using the SYSTAT html output, the findings were statistically analysed.
Results: In comparison to group two patients, the periodontal condition of group one patients was poor, according to the findings of this study. The periodontal condition deteriorated as the metabolic components increased.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be stated that periodontitis and metabolic syndrome were interfering with each other's systemic effects. Dentists should educate their patients about the dangers of metabolic syndrome and periodontitis, as well as encourage them to practise proper dental hygiene and live a healthy lifestyle.Author(S) Details
