Association between asthma and periodontitis.
Bioinformation 2024
The association between asthma and periodontitis is of interest. 20 periodontitis patients with asthma (asthma group) and 20 patients without asthma (non-asthma group) were included based on inclusion and inclusion criteria. Periodontitis was classified according to 2017 periodontal classification and periodontal parameters such as tooth loss, pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, alveolar bone loss, bone reduction index, plaque index, bleeding index and periodontal risk were assessed. Effect of anti-asthmatic drugs and asthma control on periodontal parameters was also assessed. Inter-group comparison of all the continuous variables was done using independent "t" test. Comparison of categorical variables was done using Chi-square test. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results showed greater severity and higher grade of periodontitis with asthma group as well as with patients on anti-asthmatic drugs and patients with poor controlled asthma. Hence, there is an association between asthma and periodontitis.
