Abstract

The knowledge of the ABO blood group phenotype of the patients and their correlation with the periodontal disease may be important in the development of early treatment strategies, and it would be helpful to target non-responding areas to periodontal therapy of the susceptible individuals. Aims: The present study was conducted to determine whether there was any correlation between periodontal diseases and ABO blood groups.

This study was carried out on 200 subjects attending Periodontology & Implantology OPD in Santosh College of Dental Sciences and Research. Subjects with periodontitis based on periodontal examination (Gingival index, Bleeding Index, Probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level). ABO Blood grouping were done and correlated with the periodontal status of study subjects.

Data was analyzed using the statistical software namely Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, Version 16, IBM Analytics) and Systat 8.0. Results: In this study, periodontitis in blood group B. The blood group AB showed the least prevalence of periodontal diseases.

Considering the results of this study, it can be concluded that ABO blood groups could be a risk factor for the development of periodontal disease.
