The role of Interleukin-1 genes in the association between chronic periodontitis
and atherosclerosis has been under debate. The purpose of this study is to compare the existence of
interleukin1 genes polymorphism in the chronic periodontitis subjects with and without atherosclerosis.
Background& Objective: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-known acute-reactant produced in response
of inflammation. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between body mass index, C-reactive
protein levels, periodontal diseases and its severity among periodontal patients in compare with a control
group of healthy normal BMI persons, among young adults with both genders.
Many methods are used to treat Periodontitis such as scaling and root planing
(SRP) with hand instruments, Sonic and Ultrasonic instruments. Recently, lasers are used in periodontal.
The aim of the study is to compare the Efficiency of Er:YAG Laser
Combined with Scaling and Root
Planing in Chronic Periodontitis Treatment.
