Abstract :

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection of the supporting tissues around the teeth. This study was conducted to evaluate changes in serum total protein and albumin levels in subjects with Periodontitis and periodontally healthy subjects; prior and subsequent to scaling and root planing. 10 Periodontitis and 10 Periodontally healthy subjects were selected for the study from the Out Patient Department of Periodontology of recognized dental college. Serum total protein, serum albumin levels and clinical variables of periodontal disease were assessed prior and two weeks subsequent to scaling and root planing. There was no statistically significant difference observed on intergroup and intragroup comparison. Thus, scaling and root planing does not have any effect on serum total protein and serum albumin levels in periodontitis subjects.
