Abstract：Objective:To investigate the relationship between acute myelocytic leukemia and periodontitis in middle-aged and aged adult.Methods:A total of 102 cases were selected.49 patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML group) and 53 age-matching healthy individuals(control group).Each group was divided into the middle-aged group and the aged group according to age.All subjects were examined using the Florida probe.To compare probing depth (PD),clinical attachment loss (CAL),bleeding index 0B0,plaque index (PLI),number of teeth,neutrophil (NEUT),blood platelet (PLT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed and compared.Results:In the middle-aged group,the PD,CAL,BI,PLI,CRP and the rate of periodontitis of AML group were significantly higher than those of control group,and NEUT,PLT of AML group were significantly lower than those of control group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in number of teeth (P＞0.05).In the aged group,the PD,CAL,BI,CRP of AML group were significantly higher than those of control group,and NEUT,PLT of AML group were significantly lower than those of control group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in PLI,the number of teeth and the rate ofperiodontitis(P＞0.05).Statistically significant association between periodontal and hematological parameters in AML group was not found (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Acute myelocytic leukemia was closely related with periodontitis in middle-aged and aged adult.The patients with AML had worse periodontal status compared to healthy subjects of control group.
