Abstract
Chronic periodontitis is the most prevalent oral inflammatory disease that affect teeth supporting tissues in response to microbial infection. A secretor is aterm applied to anyone who secret his/her blood type antigen into their body fluids as saliva in the oral cavity. Forty eight males were participated in the present research. Their age ranging from 35 to 55 years. The clinical periodontal parameters included Plaque index (PLI), Gingival index (GI),bleeding on probing (BOP) and Probing pocket depth (PPD) were examined also. .The secretory ABO blood groups from saliva by using Blood Typing Kit # 11 were assessed. After that the patients were divided into secretors and non-secretors and the comparisons were done between them. There was highly significance difference between secretory and non-secretory chronic periodontitis patients in all periodontal parameters (PI, GI and PPD), from the total sample the Proportional ratio for secretory chronic periodontitis group was 58.33% while the proportional ratio for the non secretary chronic periodontitis was 41.66%. Group O is the predominant type of ABO for both groups. Chronic periodontitis is more likely to occur in secretor ABO more than non-secretor ABO.
