An investigation of blood hemogram and estimation of serum iron and protein levels in aggressive periodontitis patients: a clinic biochemical study.

AIM
The aim of this study is to investigate the blood hemogram and estimation of serum iron and proteins level in aggressive periodontitis patients.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 85 patients were selected and divided into two groups, 45 patients are with aggressive periodontitis and 40 patients are healthy. Periodontal parameters such as gingival infammation oral hygiene index, Russell's periodontal index and radiograph were taken. Total 10 ml blood was collected and sent for estimation of blood hemogram protein estimation and serum electrophoresis.


RESULTS
There was statistical signifcant difference observed in relation to gingival infammation oral hygiene hemoglobin and total iron binding capacity level between both the groups.


CONCLUSION
It has been concluded that periodontitis does not induce anemia like state, as the hematological and biochemical parameters were almost equally affected in periodontally healthy and periodontally diseased individuals, but some parameters showed statistical significant difference between the both groups.


CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
In the present study, the clinical periodontal parameters, red blood cell parameters and serum iron and ferritin levels were compared among control and test groups. It was found that the values of gingival infammation, oral hygiene and periodontal index, hemoglobulin level and total iron binding protein were statistically signifcant between the groups. However, the values of erythrocyte count, white blood cell count, serum iron and serum proteins, serum electrophoresis did not show any signifcant correlation.
