Abstract EN
Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) is the main transport protein of vitamin D and plays an important role in the immune system and host defenses.
The purpose of this study was to measure DBP levels in plasma and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP), in comparison to healthy controls, with the goal of elucidating the relationship between DBP and GAgP.
Fifty-nine GAgP patients and 58 healthy controls were recruited for the study; clinical parameters of probing depths (PD), bleeding index, and attachment loss (AL) were recorded.
DBP levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
From the results, GAgP patients had higher plasma DBP concentrations (P<0.001) but lower GCF DBP concentrations (P<0.001) than healthy controls.
In GAgP group, after controlling the potential confounders of age, gender, smoking status, and BMI index, GCF DBP concentrations correlated negatively with PD (P<0.001) and AL (P=0.009).
Within the limits of the study, we concluded that decreased GCF DBP level and increased plasma DBP level are associated with periodontitis.
