Evaluating Thrombotic Markes in Chronic Periodontitis with Hypertension


Abstract in English

Chronic Periodontitis is accompanied with subacute systemic inflammatory responses and a procoagulant state which manifests in changes of some serological vascular thrombotic markers levels. This study aimed to evaluate several vascular thrombotic markers levels in patients with chronic periodontitis.
