Introduction: The incidence of Parkinson’s disease and the severity accompanying motor impairment increase significantly with age. etiopathogenesis progression at molecular level is associated production cytokines acute phase proteins, which are also typical for inflammatory diseases, such as periodontitis gingivitis. Objectives: aim study was to assess correlation between neurological parameters, indices periodontal status systemic parameters inflammation, well their change after treatment. Patients/Methods: presented a retrospective analysis data obtained from medical histories patient charts. Charts 93 patients diagnosed diseases over period 2015–2017 were selected. Sixty-one these received treatment: professional scaling, root planning – SRP pockets rinsing 3% H2O2 constituted group. Additionally, instructed use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash. other 32 patients, who not periodontally treated, formed control Both groups continued anti-parkinsonian Results: mean pocket depth baseline 4.0 mm (SD 0.9 mm), bleeding index 56.2%, 63.9% tooth mobility grade II or III.
