Abstract: In this study, chronic periodontitis is associated with elevated plasma CRP levels, even after controlling for several potential confounders.

“…In blood plasma or serum it is possible to assess the concentration of inflammatory markers, such as Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (hs-CRP, highsensitivity C-reactive protein). These markers are useful to identify people with high risk of Incident Cardiovascular Events [10][11][12][13][14]. Cytokines are the mediators of inflammatory process and immune response in human body.…”

“…Most studies observed that associations of serum levels of key mediators such as CRP and IL-6 with periodontitis remained significant following statistical correction for these factors (Loos et al 2000, Noack et al 2001, Buhlin et al 2003, Gomes-Filho et al 2011, Pejcic et al 2011. Analysis of NHANES-3 data indicated that CRP is elevated in the US population in individuals with periodontal disease and in edentulous subjects after accounting for other explanatory variables for elevated CRP (Slade et al 2000).…”

“…In the present days, the levels of CRP have been correlated with many systemic conditions. Recent evidence has indicated that patients with severe periodontitis have increased serum levels of CRP, when compared with unaffected control population [5]. But they fall short in indicating that periodontitis was the cause for the observed serum CRP levels as CRP levels fluctuate with various confounding factors like aging, high blood pressure, alcohol use, smoking, low levels of physical activity, chronic fatigue, coffee consumption having elevated triglycerides, insulin-resistance diabetes, taking estrogen, eating a high-protein diet, suffering from sleep disturbances and depression [19].…”
