    Abstract

    Background: Although many studies have compared circulating IL-6 and CRP concentrations in periodontal patients and controls, a limited number of studies have compared systemic inflammatory markers at baseline and follow-up and also Data on whether periodontal therapy affects serum CRP levels are inconclusive. Aims and Objective: By the virtue of this study, an attempt was made to evaluate and compare the effect of non surgical periodontal therapy on serum C-Reactive Protein levels in Generalized chronic periodontitis patients. Material and Method: A total of thirty patients with Generalised chronic periodontitis, within the age range of 30-70 years, were selected and underwent non surgical periodontal therapy. Further, they were put on a two month follow up after post operative phase for evaluation and comparison of pre and post values. Results and Conclusion: The results of our study showed that non surgical periodontal therapy significantly reduces the serum levels of C-reactive protein along with other clinical parameters in patients with generalised chronic periodontitis.
