Background and objective: Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent and persistent, inflammatory condition that affects the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth. This study investigates the relationship between bruxism, vitamin D levels, and periodontal health in the Duhok city.
Methods: This cross-sectional study of 400 individuals conducted from December 2022 to December 2023 in the Duhok city. The teeth Plaque Index, Gingival Index and Clinical Attachment Level were comprised in (47.5%) females and (52.5%) males across various age groups were bruxism and non-bruxism disease participants. The values of serum calcium and phosphate were measured by colorimetric method, the former with Arsenazo III and the latter with the molybdate method.
Results: Forty percent of participants were found to have been diagnosed with bruxism. 40% of participants indicated mean Periodontal Disease severity of patients with bruxism was clearly higher than that of patients without bruxism (7.5 vs 5.0) p. value less than 0.05. Regarding the levels of vitamin D among respondents, 12.5% were deficient, 50% were sufficient, and 37.5% had optimal levels. Periodontal Disease severity was significant in patients than in control group.
Conclusion: There is a significant link between bruxism, periodontal status and vitamin D levels, indicating that higher levels of Vitamin D correlated with other periodontal outcomes, and the presence of bruxism is seen to worsen periodontal diseases. This stresses the importance of assessing nutritional and behavioral factors in the management of periodontal health.
