Cytokines and MMPs levels in gingival crevicular fluid from patients with chronic periodontitis before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy

J. oral res. (Impresa); 7 (3), 2018
The study of host response in periodontal disease may provide a mechanism to monitor disease progression. the purpose of the present research was to determine the levels of IL-1alfa, IL-1beta, TNF-alfa, IL-6, IL-6sR, IL-8, IL-10, MMP-3 and MMP-8 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), before and after non-su...

Effect of Alox-15 Polymorphism on GCF Levels of Lipoxin-A4 in Chronic Periodontitis: A Preliminary Study

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
Lipoxins play an important role in periodontal resolution, hence, investigation of genetic polymorphism of lipoxin gene may provide important information on the role of lipoxins in periodontal disease pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate a polymorphism of C-to-T substitution at position...
