Evaluation of Serum Albumin Level in Chronic Periodontitis

Introduction: Periodontal disease has been implicated as a risk factor for systemic diseases. There was a association between periodontal disease and serum albumin level in recent studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum albumin concentration as a prognostic marker of the periodontal disease. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 64 patients with chronic periodontitis, aged 20-50 years and 64 healthy control subjects with same age were selected. Dental and systemic stata were assessed for all subjects. Blood samples (2cc) were collected and COBASMIRA method was used to determine serum albumin level. The data were analyzed by One-Way ANOVA, Chi- square and t-tests. Results: The mean serum albumin concentration was 5.05±2.7 gr/dl in chronic periodontitis and 4.40±0.39gr/dl in control group and the difference was significant (P=0.000). Also there was a significant difference in albumin level between mild and moderate periodontitis CP=0.000). Conclusion: Mean concentration of serum albumin level in periodontitis (mild, moderate, sever) was higher than control group.
