Abstract
Aim: The Aim Was To Evaluate The Levels Of 8-Hydroxy Deoxyguanosine Levels, As A Marker Of Oxidative Stress In Chronic Gingivitis And Chronic Periodontitis Individuals During The Course Of Phase 1 Periodontal Therapy In Comparison With Periodontally Healthy Individuals.
Materials And Method: All The Individuals Were Divided Into 3 Groups Each Including 16 Subjects. Group 1 Included Healthy Subjects And Group 3 And 4 Included Subjects With Chronic Gingivitis And Chronic Periodontitis Respectively. Saliva Samples Were Collected And The 8-Ohdg Levels Were Assessed.
Results: The Levels Reduced To 1.59±0.50 In Chronic Periodontitis Group One Month After Scaling And Root Planing. A Statistically Non-Significant Value Of 0.09 Was Recorded. The Levels In Chronic Gingivitis Group Was 1.20±0.89.
Conclusion: From The Above Study It Can Be Concluded That 8-Ohdg Is An Important Biomarker Of Oxidative Stress And Is Increased In Patients With Chronic Gingivitis And Chronic Periodontitis.
