Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for the health of gingival and periodontal tissues due to its antioxidant potential.
To assess the levels of vitamin C in different stages and grades of periodontitis.
The present study follows a cross-sectional study design and was conducted in a private dental clinic in Palestine. The present study involves the collection of serum to assess the vitamin C deficiency in patients with existing periodontal diseases. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the difference in the vitamin C levels in various stages and grades of periodontitis. value <0.05 was considered significant.
There was a significantly lower vitamin C level in patients with Stage IV periodontitis as compared to the early stages of periodontitis. However, there was no difference between the other stages of periodontitis.
Vitamin C deficiency might be considered as one of the risk factors in periodontitis.
由于具有抗氧化潜力,维生素C是牙龈和牙周组织健康的必需营养素。
评估不同阶段和等级牙周炎患者的维生素C水平。
本研究采用横断面研究设计,在巴勒斯坦的一家私人牙科诊所进行。本研究涉及采集血清以评估现有牙周疾病患者的维生素C缺乏情况。采用曼-惠特尼检验比较不同阶段和等级牙周炎患者维生素C水平的差异。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
与牙周炎早期患者相比,IV期牙周炎患者的维生素C水平显著降低。然而,牙周炎其他阶段之间没有差异。
维生素C缺乏可能被视为牙周炎的危险因素之一。
