Abstract

Background: Non-surgical periodontal treatment decreases serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with and without obesity. However, the changes in metabolic parameters in association with these decreases in levels of inflammatory markers by periodontal treatment have not been evaluated in patients with obesity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the short-term changes in systemic inflammatory, lipid, and glucose parameters in the presence of obesity after periodontal treatment.
