There are conflicting reports in the past literature documenting tendency of anemia patients with periodontitis. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess whether periodontitis may cause an anemic state, by evaluating and comparing red blood cell count, levels hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum iron ferritin between subjects without periodontitis.In cross-sectional study, 140 systemically healthy both sexes (mean age 46 years) were recruited as control group (50 periodontitis) groups comprising 30 each mild, moderate severe chronic generalized Periodontal parameters orthopantamographs taken for all then 5 mL venous samples sent complete count biochemical analysis. Inter-group intra-group comparisons performed assessed parameters.The periodontal significantly higher (P⩽.05) patients. Except ESR, which (P=.03) mild than group, hematological not different (P>.05) among or groups. This difference evident even male female (P>.05).Within limits it can be concluded that presence severity affect individual. Further long term studies however encouraged validate these findings.
