Objective: Periodontitis is an infection that involved tooth-supporting tissues by dental plaque biofilm on the tooth surface and host immune responseas causal to as inflammation resolution. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as an inflammatory mediator has been implicated in the pathogenesis of variouschronic inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis, and as a regulator of blood pressure. This study aims to compare the levels of prostaglandinin the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontitis patients with hypertension and non-hypertension.Methods: A total sample of 62 patients was examined and consists of 44 patients (aged 50–90 years) who were hypertension group and 18 patients(aged 30–49 years) who were non-hypertension groups as a control. Hypertension state was measured by blood pressure based on anamnesisand using sphygmomanometer mercury. The clinical sample was collected from 62 gingival crevicular fluids [GCF] of periodontal disease subject.Measurement of the clinical parameter of probing pocket depth [PD], and bleeding on probing [BOP ≥1] was included as a diagnostic requisition.The PD and clinical attachment loss [CAL] was defined as present if the PD was ≥5 mm and CAL was ≥1 mm. Prostaglandin E2 level was estimated ingingival crevicular fluid samples by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: The level of PGE2 was statistically significant difference in hypertension patient compare with non-hypertension (p<0.05). There was asignificant difference in PD, recession, and CAL (p<0.05).Conclusion: Higher blood pressure might be related to the potential risk of inflammation and progression periodontal disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
