Background:
The aim of this study was to
investigate the relationship between serum levels
of vitamin D and calcium and the severity of
gingival disease in patients with end-stage renal
disease undergoing dialysis.
Material and methods:
In this case-control
study, 43 patients diagnosed with chronic kidney
disease undergoing dialysis were evaluated for
probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss,
gingival index, bleeding on probing and plaque
index. Then, they were divided into the case
group with gingival disease and the control group
without gingival disease. Serum levels of vitamin
D and calcium were also determined. Data were
analyzed using stata11 software using chi-square
test and independent t-test with a significance
level of 0.05 and a 95% confidence level.
Results:
The difference between the mean
serum levels of vitamin D in the case and control
groups was 33.66, which was statistically
significant (P-value <0.001). The difference
between the mean serum calcium levels in the
case and control groups was 0.85, which was
statistically significant (P-value> 0.001). There
was no statistically significant relationship
between the mean age and the body mass index
between the case and the control groups (P-value
= 0.13 and P-value = 0.39, respectively). There
was no significant difference between the two
groups in terms of gender (P-value = 0.43).
Conclusions:
Serum levels of vitamin D and
calcium were lower in dialysis patients with
gingival disease than in patients on dialysis
without gingival disease, also no significant
relationship was observed between age, sex and
body mass index with gingival disease in dialysis
patients.
