Serum Levels of Vitamin D and IL8 in Patients With Periodontitis

Mansoura University98 enrolled

Overview

We evaluated vitamin D and IL8 levels in the serum of patients with periodontitis as well as the healthy controls to correlate their levels with the degree of periodontitis.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the levels of vitamin D and IL8 in the serum of individuals diagnosed with periodontitis and compare them with those of a healthy control group. The study also aims to establish correlations between these serum levels and the degree of periodontitis severity. Two groups will be recruited: patients diagnosed with periodontitis and a control group consisting of individuals without periodontal disease. The participants will be matched for age, gender, and other relevant demographic factors to minimize confounding variables. Serum samples will be collected from both groups. Periodontitis severity will be determined using established clinical indices, such as probing depth, clinical attachment loss, and bleeding on probing. Vitamin D levels in the serum will be measured using standardized laboratory techniques. IL8 levels in the serum will also be quantified using appropriate assays. Statistical analyses will be performed to identify any significant correlations between vitamin D levels, IL8 levels, and the severity of periodontitis. Subgroup analyses may be conducted to explore potential variations based on demographic factors or other relevant variables. The study will adhere to ethical guidelines, ensuring participant confidentiality, informed consent, and responsible data handling. The study anticipates finding associations or correlations between serum levels of vitamin D and IL8 and the severity of periodontitis. This information may contribute to a better understanding of the role of these factors in periodontal health and could have implications for future preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Interventions

Evalution of serum levels of vitamin D and IL8DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Group 1 (Periodontitis Group): The intervention involves observing and analyzing individuals diagnosed with periodontitis based on established clinical criteria. The focus is on assessing vitamin D and IL8 levels in the serum and correlating these levels with the severity of periodontitis, determined by clinical indices such as probing depth, clinical attachment loss, and bleeding on probing. Group 2 (Control Group): The intervention involves observing and analyzing individuals without any signs or history of periodontal disease. The focus is on assessing vitamin D and IL8 levels in the serum for comparison with the periodontitis group. This group serves as the healthy control for the study.
