SYSTEMIC AND BLOOD FINDINGS IN PARODONTOSIS

HAROLD GOLDSTEIN D.D.S.1

1 Department of Oral Diagnosis, Dental School, University of Maryland

1. Diseases such as diabetes mellitus, lues, gastro-intestinal ulcer and cancer, were found with a decidedly greater frequency in 200 parodontosis-involved individuals than in a similar number of parodontosis-free individuals. 2. Arthritis and cholecystitis were present more frequently in the parodontosis-free individuals. 3. Blood counts revealed higher leukocyte counts (8,000 or over) more frequently in individuals with parodontal disease. 4. Erythrocyte recordings were in general, the same for both groups. 5. A greater number of parodontal diseased cases were found with lower blood-pressure; a greater number of parodontosis-free individuals with higher blood-pressure. 6. The relation of class of occupation to the frequency of parodontal involvement pointed to a much lower incidence of parodontal disease in those individuals who belong to the higher income group.
