Sažetak
In order to establish the relationship between periodontal disease and serum calcium levels we performed laboratory tests on serum and total serum calcium in a randomly collected sample. A total of 77 subjects was collected randomly from patients visiting the Department of Periodontology in Zagreb. Patients were divided in two groups according to the clinical diagnostic procedured (mean attachment loss, gingival bleeding) and radiographic status which determined the extent and severity of the periodontal disease. All total serum analyses were performed on venous blood serum samples collected at the Laboratory for Endocrinology of the Clinical Hospital ˝Sestre Milosrdnice˝in Zagreb, together with the antropometricvariables. The results showed significantly lower serum calcium concentration in subjects with greater attachment loss and more gingival bleeding (p<0.1 percent). There is also a lower serum calcium concentration in subjects older than 35 years of age and males. The study demonstrates that there might be a correlation between total serum calcium levels and more severe periodontal disease.
