C-Reactive protein and ferritin levels associated with chronic periodontits

Aim This study aims to determine relationship between level of serum C-reactive protein and serum ferritin in chronic periodontitis disease. Material and methods The 250 patients in this study,aged 25-60 years of both genders reoprting to department of periodontics, Faculty of Dentistry College,University of kufa from March 2021 to October 2022. This study was classifed into groups: Group1 as healthy indivdulas(No.125) and Group 2 as chronic periodontal patients (No.125 ). Blood samples were taken from the patients and the control group. For the purpose of measuring ferritin and CRP, it was gathered. Patients' 3 ml of blood was drawn into a gel tube, and the serum was then extracted using a centrifuge. The serum will be kept for analysis at -20C. Results The results indicate that the expression of CRP and serum ferritin level was remarkably increased in patients as in contrast to healthy control (P < 0.001). The results showed that hypertension, diabetic and chest pain had a significant correlation with the CRP patients in contrast with healthy individuals. Conclusions This study concluded that serum ferritin and C-reactive protein level can be used as a biomarker in evaluating the effectiveness of periodontitis patients.
