【 摘 要 】

There are many markers in our body, acting as indicators thereby enabling the early detection ofany diseases that occur. These markers include acute phase reactants, hormone levels, antibody titre etc.This study involves the screening for the acute phase reactant CRP and rheumatoid factor RF in patientsattending a tertiary dental care hospital, with symptoms of joint pain and inflammation. CRP is abiomarker which is used as a diagnostic and monitoring tool for patients with various systemic eventsand RF is used for detection of rheumatoid arthritis, a systemic autoimmune disease. Since this diseasecauses irreversible and irreparable damage which brings pain in the joints, thereby affecting the day today activity of patients, it is essential to identify the condition at an early stage to render better treatment.There are various literature studies which proves a connection between oral health and systemicinfections. Hence the purpose of this study is to screen for the presence of acute phase reactant CRP andrheumatoid factor RF in patients with complaints of joint pain and inflammation.
