Obesity and Oxidative Stress in Patients With Different Periodontal Status: A Cross-sectional Study
In Brief
An observational study for Obesity and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 93 participants.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of obesity on periodontally healthy or diseased tissues.Normal weight and obese subjects were analyzed in 6 groups. Clinical periodontal status was determined through plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, pocket probing depth, clinical attacment level and radiographs. Oxidative stress is known to contribute to various diseases by affecting cellular functions through the oxidation of proteins, lipids and DNA. Oxidative stress can be assessed by measuring the products of oxidative damage found in proteins, lipids and DNA or reductions in total antioxidant capacity Malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl and total antioxidant capacity levels are biomarkers of oxidative stress in gingival crevicular fluid.
