Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MeS) is common among the Indian Population. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur concomitantly and together they increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and double the risk of type 2 diabetes. This study was conducted to assess the association of periodontal status among patients with and without metabolic syndrome. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 patients who had visited the Department of Periodontics, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, India between March 2022-July 2022. The patients were categorised into: Group 1: patients without metabolic syndrome (25 patients), Group 2: patients with metabolic syndrome (25 patients). The periodontal status was assessed using Silness&Loe gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment loss (CAL). Independent t-test was used to compare the clinical parameters between both the groups. Results: GI, PPD, CAL of group 1 patients were 1.55±0.48, 2.25±0.56, 1.12±0.83 respectively. GI, PPD, CAL of group 2 patients were 2.01±0.72, 4.42±1.20, 5.17±0.92 respectively. The difference between both the groups in terms of GI, PPD and CAL was statistically significant with p < 0.05. Conclusion: Gingival index, periodontal probing depth and clinical attachment loss were higher among patients with metabolic syndrome as compared to individuals without metabolic syndrome.
