Summary

Melasma is a commonly pigmention characterized by melanotic patches on the face. literature searched revealed that periodontitis and vitamin D deficiency have occurred along with anemia. Actinic associated factors may be indirectly related to vitamin D, melasma contributes to sun exposed area of face.To correlate melasma with clinical evidence of periodontitis and vitamin D serum analysis along side hb %. Patients with facial melasma between 30-70yrs of either gender formed Group A (95). Anaemia and periodontitis were Clinically checked. Additionally serum analysis of vitamin D and hb percentage were analysed. Similar procedure was carried out on controls which had Group B (95) patients with no melasma on face.

The study revealed significant correlation between melasma and periodontitis with vitamin D abnormalities (p value\<.05), where as insignificant correlation between melasma and Hb%. The correlation between melasma, vitamin d changes and periodontitis may prompt the clinician to check for any such changes in any patient. Melasma in patients with periodontitis and serum vitamin D changes might be a considered as a syndrome.
