Previous NHANES estimates of periodontal disease relied on partial mouth periodontal examination (PMPE) protocols that collected measurements from two randomly selected quadrants of the mouth and assessed probing depth and
attachment loss at two sites per tooth.
There was no statistically significant difference in frequency of smokers, diabetics, alcohol, Percentage and number of sites with probing depth > 5mm and clinical
attachment loss > 4mm, gestational weeks and birth weight in case and control group.
Oral Examination: A full-mouth periodontal examination was carried out on each subject to obtain the Plaque Score (PS), Gingivitis Score (GS), Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD), and Clinical
Attachment Loss (CAL).
In this study, clinical
attachment loss was found to be significantly associated with glycaemic control.
Several epidemiological studies have proved smoking as primary behavioral risk factor for the increased accumulation of plaque and Periodontal

[IL-17A.sup.+][IL-17F.sup.-] and [IL-17A.sup.-][IL-17F.sup.+] Th17 cell number were plotted as a function of
attachment loss for the CP patients (Figure 6).
Attachment loss increase with advancing age in CAD patients (Table I, p<0.05).
