Evaluation and Correlation of Serum Fetuin-A Levels in Periodontal Health and Disease: A Clinico-biochemical Study

Procedure/Surgery: non surgical periodontal therapy and root planing (SRP) was performed in two to four appointments lasting approximately 60 minutes each under local anaesthesia (2% lignocaine hydrochloride with 1:2,00,000 adrenaline) using area specific Gracey periodontal curettes and an ultrasonic device. The treatment was concluded in 3 months. Within the duration of the study, all subjects received supportive therapy, which included professional plaque control and reinstruction of oral hygiene.
