No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators' earlier study reported a high prevalence of chronic periodontitis among obese Malaysian adult population. Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) has been shown to effectively reduce microbial load and contributes to reduction in periodontal parameters and inflammatory burden up to 6 months post-therapy. This study will cast light on the effects of obesity on chronic periodontitis (CP) patients following NSPT. The objectives of the study were to quantify and to compare the periodontal pathogens, serum and salivary interleukins in obese and non obese with CP following NSPT.
