Background and objectives: Several studies have reported that metabolic syndrome components such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus are associated with a higher likehood for the occurrences of periodontitis.

In the present study, our aim was to evaluate degree of periodontitis in a sample of periodontopathic patients with metabolic syndrome in comparison with those of non-metabolic syndrome and to ascertain the association between degree of periodontitis and metabolic syndrome components.

Methods: This study included three hundred forty patients with periodontitis who attended the Dental Health Polyclinic at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Duhok.

After a clinical oral examination, an assessment of the degree of periodontitis and obtaining the demographic data; fasting blood samples were obtained from the patients and glucose, triglycerides and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were estimated.

The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was based on the criteria by the NCEP-ATP III.

Results: Of the 340 patients, 57.9% had mild periodontitis, 39.7% had moderate periodontitis and 2.4% had severe periodontitis.

The percent of moderate-severe periodontitis was higher in the metabolic syndrome group compared to the non-metabolic syndrome (45.5% Vs 38.3%0 and showed statistical significance (p<0.05).Of the 5 components of metabolic syndrome, patients with moderate-severe periodontitis had higher prevalence of elevated plasma glucose, hypertriglyceridemia and high blood pressure than those with mild periodontitis.

patients with 5 components had a higher prevalence of periodontitis (21.4% compared to those without any component of MS (12.1%).

Conclusions: Our study indicates the higher prevalence of moderate-severe periodontitis in patients with metabolic syndrome and thus it necessitates the need for evaluating periodontitis status in patients with metabolic syndrome.
