Hyperlipidemia, Periodontal Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Is There a Relationship Between Hyperlipidemia and Periodontitis?
The aim of present study is to investigate any relationship between hyperlipidemia and
periodontal disease regarding the periodontal parameters and plasma lipid parameters, along
with age, gender, brushing habit, body mass index, dietary habit, physical activity, alcohol
consumption.
In this cross sectional study, a total of 160 individuals were divided into two groups based
on their metabolic status: hyperlipidemic group (n=97) and normolipidemic group (n=63).
Plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical
attachment level (CAL) clinical parameters and community periodontal index of treatment
needs (CPITN) scores were measured. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density
lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels had
been determined previously during individuals routine systemic examinations. Daily brushing
habits and interdental cleaning together with dietary habits, alcohol consumption and
physical activity levels were also recorded.
