Abstract
The recent report on oral findings and inherited disorders of platelet function (IDPF) was very interesting [1]. Hatipoglu et al. concluded that, “IDPF have a negative effect on periodontal tissues [1].” I would like to raise some relevant issues. First, there are many factors that can cause periodontal disorders, such as behavior, nutrition, and other underlying diseases [2], which were not completely investigated in their study. Hence, the conclusion of a direct relationship might not be warranted. Second, the measured platelet parameters and their relationship to periodontal disease would be an interesting focus of further study. A recent publication showed that there wasn’t a clinical correlation between the platelet count and periodontal disorder, but between mean platelet volume and periodontal disorder in the study group [3].
