Brief Summary

The study is a cross-sectional study investigating the correlation between periodontitis and both hypertension and body mass index among a sample of adult Egyptian dental patients attending diagnostic center at faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University.

Conditions

Periodontitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Correlation between periodontitis and hypertension

  * Clinical examination will be held on a dental unit using the light of the unit and a mirror. Periodontal status will be evaluated by full mouth charting using UNC 15 periodontal probe, including assessment of plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BoP), Probing Depth (PD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) and digital radiographic imaging. * Periodontitis case is defined according to the latest available EFP/AAP consensus. * Blood pressure measured by using an automated sphygmomanometer device. hypertension will be defined as values of systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg, or; the use of antihypertensive medication. * Then a questionnaire will be collected to estimate the prevalence of hypertension in periodontitis Egyptians adult patients.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Body mass index.
