Evaluation of Peri-Implant Parameters and C-Reactive Protein Levels among Patients with Different Obesity Levels

BACKGROUND: Assessment of correlation between peri-implant parameters and C-reactive protein levels among patients with different obesity levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Evaluation of 60 subjects was performed who were scheduled to undergo dental implant therapy for missing mandibular first molars. Three study cohorts were formed, namely, Group A: obese group (BMI between 30 Kg/m(2) and 34.9 Kg/m(2)), Group B: high obese group (BMI over 34.9 Kg/m(2)), and Group C: non-obese group (BMI under 25 Kg/m(2)). Each cohort comprised 20 subjects. Dental implant therapy was carried out in all the patients. Peri-implant variables were evaluated in all the patients. Blood samples were obtained, and C-reactive protein levels in subjects having different obesity levels. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. RESULTS: Mean serum C-reactive protein levels among patients of groups A, B, and C occurred to be 3.28 mg/L, 3.65 g/L, and 3.61 g/L, respectively. On comparing numerically, noticeable outcomes were achieved. Mean probing depth among subjects of groups A, B, and C occurred to be 2.9 mm, 3.2 mm, and 1.3 mm, respectively. Mean marginal bone loss among subjects of groups A, B, and C occurred to be 2.1 mm, 2.7 mm, and 0.8 mm, respectively. On comparing numerically, noteworthy outcomes were gathered. CONCLUSION: There were significantly higher deranged peri-implant inflammatory variables among patients with higher levels of obesity.
