The association of low serum levels of 1.25 dihydroxy vitamin D3 with chronic periodontitis
Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim and objectives: To compare seric levels of 1.25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 in patients with chronic periodontitis with the values in periodontally healthy patients. Material and methods: The study included 56 patients with chronic periodontitis and 56 controls. The measured periodontal parameters included the plaque index, periodontal probing depth, bleeding on probing, periodontal attachment level and the number of absent teeth. 2 ml of venous blood were collected from each examined patient. The quantitative determination of serum levels of Vitamin D3 was performed with ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results: The vitamin D serum level was considerably lower in patients (mean value 13.01ng/ml) than in cases (mean value 22.10 ng/ml). The clinical periodontal parameters probing depth, bleeding on probing, periodontal attachment level were negatively correlated with the vitamin D serum levels. Conclusions: Low seric levels of vitamin D3 are associated with chronic periodontitis.
