Estimation and Correlation of Hemoglobin, Neutrophils and Platelets in Healthy, Gingivitis, Chronic Periodontitis and Localized Aggressive Periodontitis Patients- A Clinico- Pathological Study

Abstract

Objectives: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection of the 
supporting tissues around the teeth and which may alter the host response and in turn alter 
haematological parameters like Haemoglobin, Neutrophils, Platelets or vice-versa. These blood 
parameters might be the practical marker of general health status. The aim of the present study 
was to estimate and co-relate the hemoglobin, neutrophil, platelet counts in Healthy, Gingivitis, 
Chronic Periodontitis and Localized Aggressive Periodontitis patients.  
Materials and Methods: A total of 80 subjects of both genders with age range of 20-50 years 
were included in the study and were divided into 4 groups. Blood sample were collected for 
hematological analysis to evaluate the Hemoglobin, Neutrophils, platelet counts. 
Results: statistical analysis was done to comparison of blood parameters which showed no 
statistical significance in the mean value of haemoglobin percentage and platelets . The mean 
value of neutrophil countwerefound to be statistically significant.  
Conclusion: The findings of the clinical trial suggests relationship between the haematological 
parameters and periodontal diseases.
