ABSTRACT:- Introduction: Chronic periodontitis (CP), the commonest type of periodontal disease, it is an infectious disease resulting in inflammation within of the tissues supporting the teeth, progressive loss of attachment and bone loss. It is closely related to several systemic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The link between periodontal disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be due to infection and inflammation. The periodontal inflammatory state may increases the chronic inflammation present in CKD, thus decreasing renal function. Periodontal therapy may reduce inflammation and improves endothelial function. Aim:- To investigate the effect of mechanical non-surgical periodontal therapy on serum renal function markers in systematically healthy CP subjects. Objectives:- To evaluate the effect of scaling and root planing (SRP) on serum renal function markers such as urea, creatinine, bilurubin in systematically healthy CP patient and to compare the clinical parameters such as Gingival index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Probing depth (PD), Bleeding on probing (BOP), Clinical attachment level (CAL) between test group (TG) \& control group (CG). Materials and Methods: - 51 CP patients; age ranging between 35-60 years was selected. Categorized equally into group I and groups II. Group I was test group (TG) included 25 patients and group II was control group (CG) included 26 patients. The serum levels of renal function markers included Urea, Creatinine, Bilurubin were measured. SRP was done in test group only. All the parameters were checked at baseline and one month after SRP. Comparisons of baseline and value after 1 month among each criterion among each group unpaired-t test and comparisons of two groups for each criterion by paired-t test.
