Vitamin K2 Levels and Periodontitis: A Case-control Inquiry

Abstract

Riyana Pisano*

This case-control study delves into the intricate relationship between serum vitamin K2 levels and the prevalence of periodontitis. In an effort to elucidate potential connections between vitamin K2 status and periodontal health, we conducted a comprehensive investigation comparing serum levels of vitamin K2 in individuals with periodontitis against a matched control group. Utilizing stringent inclusion criteria, our study enrolled participants representative of varying periodontal conditions. Our findings reveal intriguing associations, suggesting that lower serum vitamin K2 levels may be linked to an increased risk of periodontitis. This investigation underscores the importance of understanding the role of vitamin K2 in periodontal health and raises intriguing possibilities for future preventive and therapeutic strategies in managing periodontal diseases.
