Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the plasma antioxidant status in
patients with periodontitis using serum albumin concentration as a criterion
index. .
Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 20 individuals (10 healthy
control and 10 with chronic periodontitis). Serum albumin level was detected by
the bromcresol green albumin (BCG) colorimetric method.
Results: Patients with periodontitis had a significant decrease in the level of serum
albumin than that of the healthy subjects (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The result of the present study demonstrated decreased level of serum
albumin in patients with periodontitis, which indicates decreased antioxidant
activity in patients with periodontitis on comparison with the healthy
individuals.
