The Relationship between Periodontal Diseases and Plasma Level of Copper and Magnesium
Author(s): Aous Dannan and Youssef Hanno Aous Dannan and Youssef Hanno
Periodontitis is an immuno-inflammatory condition initiated by the dental plaque biofilm. Balanced levels of trace minerals like iron are essential to prevent progression of chronic conditions such as periodontitis. Their excess as well as deficiency is detrimental to periodontal health. The aim of the current study was to find out any possible relationship between copper and magnesium levels in the plasma and periodontal diseases. The sample of the study included 29 patients seeking periodontal treatment. Full record of every patient was completed and the periodontal situation was determined clinically. Blood samples were collected from the patients and transferred to a medical laboratory for blood testing. The records of copper (Cu) and magnesium (Mg) in plasma were collected. T-test was used to compare the obtained values with the normal ones, and to compare the values ob.. View More»
