Effect of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy on the Fibrinogen Levels in Chronic Periodontitis Patients

ConclusionThe non-surgical periodontal therapy proved to be effective in improving the clinical periodontal condition of the periodontitis patients, while the plasma fibrinogen levels were not found to be influenced by the periodontal therapy. Further studies are needed to evaluate the fibrinogen levels over a longer duration after periodontal treatment in patients following a periodontal maintenance program.
