Abstract
Background and Objective: Obesity is an important factor associated with lifestyle-related diseases, and this factor may be related to periodontitis.

Clinical examination of the periodontal health was performed by reporting plaque, gingival indices, pocket depth and gingival recession among males and females individual.
   Results: obese females reported the greater mean of PLI, GI, GR and PD than obese males; with statically significant differences of PLI and GI between obese males and obese females (P ≤0.008 and P≤.003) but statistically not significant difference was found for healthy and pre-obese groups for both genders. , also statistically not significant differences were found for gingival rescission and pocket depth between the male and female groups for all parameters.  all study parameters in male and female revealed a highly significant difference between healthy & pre-obese, healthy & obese and pre-obese &obese groups (P ≤0.000 ).
