[The content of phosphoinositides and their metabolites in blood components in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis].

The aim of the study was to evaluate the content of phosphoinositides (PI) and their metabolites in blood components to reveal the diagnostic value of these in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis. Forty-five patients (30 female and 15 male aged 21-55) with chronic generalized periodontitis, as well as 30 patients with no signs of periodontal disease were included in the study. The PI content differ significantly between the groups thus making it possible using them as diagnostic and follow-up markers.
