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

Assessment of correlation between peri-implant parameters and C-reactive protein levels among patients with different obesity levels.

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/m² and 34.9 Kg/m²), Group B: high obese group (BMI over 34.9 Kg/m²), and Group C: non-obese group (BMI under 25 Kg/m²). 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.

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.

There were significantly higher deranged peri-implant inflammatory variables among patients with higher levels of obesity.
