ABSTRACT

The authors’ aim in this study was to investigate the relationship between chronic periodontitis and liver status using alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in women patients. The researchers conducted a case-control study on women patients referred to Dental School. The researchers collected 5 ml of peripheral venous blood from women for the laboratory process after performing periodontal examination. Participants were 124 women aged 25–50 years (62 cases and 62 control). The difference in serum levels of ALT and the difference in serum levels of AST between the two groups were not statistically significant. However, there was a significant correlation between liver enzymes and periodontitis parameters.
