Abstract

Non-surgical periodontal therapy on serum and gingival crevicular fluid levels of omentin among periodontitis subjects with and without Rheumatoid Arthritis is of interest. Hence, 33 patients were selected and divided into three groups: P group, RA group and RA+P group. Periodontal parameters were recorded; samples of serum and gingival crevicular fluid were obtained to evaluate Omentin levels. All of them showed non-surgical periodontal therapy and were recalled after 6 weeks. The mean change in periodontal parameters from T0 to T1 was statistically significant but serum and gingival crevicular fluid levels of omentin were not statistically significant for considering it as an anti-inflammatory marker.

Keywords

Omentin, rheumatoid arthritis, non-surgical periodontal therapy.
