Dental plaque plays the most crucial role as the etiology of periodontal disease. It is found that multiple risk factors can be responsible though. Among those like socioeconomic status can influence the behavior, awareness for oral hygiene maintenance, lifestyle, ultimately which might lead to the change in periodontal status. Material and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted and a total of 1568 patients (aged >35 years) were selected randomly. The periodontal status was evaluated by clinical recordings of inflammation, bleeding on probing, periodontal pockets, and clinical attachment loss. According to the findings, the patients were grouped into two category -chronic generalized gingivitis (CGG) and chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP). Informations regarding their socioeconomic status were collected based on a questionnaire. Results: The data were statistically analyzed. A significant decrease in periodontitis was observed as the income level increased (P = 0.0039). Conclusions: The present study concluded that individuals with higher socioeconomic status exhibits better periodontal health.
