| Periodontis (n = 38) |
Non-periodontis (n = 20) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 40 ± 9 | 41.1 ± 5 |
| Body mass index (kg/m2) | 25.7 ± 1.7 | 24.6 ± 1.2 |
| Periodontal data | ||
| GM (mm) | 0.8 ± 0.07a | 0.17 ± 0.02 |
| PD (mm) | 3.3 ± 0.5a | 1.5 ± 0.3 |
| CAL (mm) | 4.1 ± 0.3a | 2.2 ± 0.3 |
| Dental plaque (%) | 48.1 ± 3.7a | 21.1 ± 2.2 |
