Association of Periodontal Condition with Serum PSA Level

Objectives: Cytokine imbalance toward increased pro-inflammatory and decreased anti-inflammatory cytokines has been implicated in the pathogenesis of both periodontitis and prostitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate any relationship between periodontitis and PSA level in chronic prostitis patients.

Methods: In this historical cohort study 40 volunteers were divided into two groups based on their PSA levels. Group I had PSA level≤4 ng/dl and group II≥4 ng/dl. Plaque and gingival index, probing depth and clinical attachment level (CAL) were determined. Statistical analysis between the two groups was done using Leven and independent T test.

Results: There was statistically significant difference in PSA levels between the two groups. Also, all the periodontal parameters had higher value for the group with PSA level≥4 ng/dl and the differences were significant (P<0.001).

Conclusions: Subjects with more severe periodontitis had higher PSA level. Periodontal conditions may be considered as a factor in increasing the serum PSA level.
