| Abstract | ||
| Objective:-The presence of specific type of blood group antigens have been associated with various diseases, with antigens also acting as receptors for infectious agents and the relative susceptibility of some blood group phenotypes to certain oral diseases has been investigated. Also, the poor oral health and develop of some oral disease has previously been related to high body mass index (BMI). Aims of the study :-The the aim of this study was to indicate if any association between ABO blood system and body mass index with several oral diseases includes gingivitis and periodontitis. Material and method :-A total of (82) subjects were included in this study collected from hospital of dentistry college from February to July,2013,divided into three groups as those with gingivitis, periodontitis, and the healthy ones consider control group, aged between (10 and 55 )years were selected on a random basis . ABO blood groups were detected by using slide agglutination method after collected of blood samples .BMI was measured for all groups. Results: The results of this study reported that blood group type (O) appear in high percentage ( 50%) among patients group include( gingivitis and periodontitis ),and the blood group (A)showed a high percentage ( 47.67%) in healthy group with statistical significant differences (p <0.05) while, the least rate of blood group in oral disease group were (AB)( 7.5%) and ( O and B)(14.29%) in control. The results of RH factors showed a significant increase of Rh-positive in all examined groups. The body mass (mean ±SD) (26±3.056) kg/m2was significantly higher patient group when compared to control(BMI= 22.71±3.241) kg/m2 with p value< o.o5 .while the statistical analysis revealed there were non-significant differences according to type of blood groups between male and female and the mean of BMI not differed between gingivitis and periodontitis p>0.05. Conclusion: Significant relationships between ABO blood type and body mass index with most common oral disease while RH results revealed no significant differences were recorded between control and oral disease. | ||
