Periodontitis is an infectious disease of the oral cavity involving the inflammation of the sustaining tissues of teeth. Anti-oxidant has an important role in protection of host against inflammation and infection. Hence, this study evaluated the salivary total anti-oxidant capacity in chronic periodontitis patients and healthy patients. Methods: A total of 40 patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 (healthy) consisted of 20 individuals with healthy gingiva of probing depth ≤3mm, GI =<1,

Whole saliva were collected and samples were analyzed for total anti-oxidant capacity (TAOC). The results were analyzed by student t test and Mann-Whitney analysis. Results: The result revealed that the total anti-oxidant capacity of saliva in the healthy group had significantly higher levels than periodontitis group. Conclusion: The level of total anti-oxidant capacity was lower in the saliva of chronic periodontitis patients, which results in early diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis.
