Malondialdehyde levels and activity of superoxide dismutase in the oral fluid of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis

Abstract

The patients with I-II degree of severity in the basic group after treatment 12 months later were measured OF: MDA - 4.81 ± 0.36 μmol/l, that was 4 % higher in group C (p > 0.05); SOD - 5.04 ± 0.16 c.u./l, that was upper than 7 % in group C. The patients in the comparison group after treatment 12 months later were measured OF: MDA - 5.18 ± 0.48 μmol/l, that was lower than 12 % in group C; SOD - 4.82 ± 0.17 c.u./l, that was higher than 2 % in group C (p > 0.05). The research in question demonstrates pathogenetic role of abnormal processes of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection in the OF in their connection with clinical change in development of CGP with I-II degree of severity.
