TY - JOUR ID - TI - Is A Chronic Periodontitis Patient Likely To Be An ABO Secretor AU - Basima GH.Ali باسمة غفوري علي PY - 2016 VL - 4 IS - 2 SP - 136 EP - 140 JO - Tikrit Journal for Dental Sciences مجلة تكريت لعلوم طب الاسنان SN - 20731213 AB - Chronic periodontitis is the most prevalent oral inflammatorydisease that affect teeth supporting tissues in response to microbialinfection. A secretor is aterm applied to anyone who secret his/herblood type antigen into their body fluids as saliva in the oralcavity. Forty eight males were participated in the present research.Their age ranging from 35 to 55 years. The clinical periodontalparameters included Plaque index (PLI), Gingival index (GI),bleeding on probing (BOP) and Probing pocket depth (PPD) wereexamined also. .The secretory ABO blood groups from saliva byusing Blood Typing Kit # 11 were assessed. After that the patientswere divided into secretors and non-secretors and the comparisonswere done between them. There was highly significance differencebetween secretory and non-secretory chronic periodontitis patientsin all periodontal parameters (PI, GI and PPD), from the totalsample the Proportional ratio for secretory chronic periodontitisgroup was 58.33% while the proportional ratio for the nonsecretarychronic periodontitis was 41.66%. Group O is thepredominant type of ABO for both groups. Chronic periodontitis ismore likely to occur in secretor ABO more than non-secretorABO.
