| ABSTRACTBackground: Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the supporting tissues of the teeth.Malnutrition, particularly characterized by deficiencies of the essential necessary antioxidants micronutrientsincluding vitamins (C, E and A), which they had a significant effects in relation to oral health. The aims of this studywere to assess the salivary antioxidants vitamins (C, E and A) levels and their relation to periodontal parameteramong individuals with underweight and normal weightMaterials and Methods: The sample is consist from 80 males with age group (25-50) years old without any systemicdisease and divided into 4 groups: group 1 (20) individuals had underweight and chronic periodontitis, group 2 (20)individuals had underweight and normal periodontium, group 3 (20) individuals had normal weight and chronicperiodontitis and group 4 (20) individuals had normal weight and normal periodontium. Nutritional status wasassessed by body mass index (BMI). Periodontal parameters used in this study were probing pocket depth (PPD) andclinical attachment level (CAL). Unstimulated salivary samples were collected and then chemically analyzed.Results: The salivary levels of vitamins were significantly lower in the groups of underweight in compare with thegroup of normal weight and normal periodontium. For the group with (N.W. & CH.Perio.) the salivary levels of vitaminsC and A was significantly lower in compare with the group (N.W. & N.Perio.), For probing pocket depth, vitamin Chad a negative significant correlation with PPD≥7, vitamin A also had a negative significant with PPD≥7 and PPD≤6.Concerning clinical attachment level vitamin E had a positive significant correlation with CAL≥6; vitamin A had anegative significant with CAL≤5.Conclusions: Periodontal disease revealed a higher occurrence and severity among individuals with malnutritiontherefore good nutrition and special oral health care are needed for them.Key words: chronic periodontitis, antioxidants, nutritional status, body mass index.
