Official Title: Gingival Crevicular Fluid Periodontal Ligament-related Protein-1, Sclerostin and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alfa Levels in Periodontitis
Brief Summary:
Periodontal ligament-associated protein-1 (PLAP-1) and sclerostin play an important role in the suppression of bone formation. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) is an important proinflammatory cytokine involved in periodontal bone loss. This study aims to investigate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) PLAP-1, sclerostin and TNF-? levels in individuals with periodontal disease. Totally 71 systemically healthy and non-smoker individuals consisting of stage 3 grade C periodontitis (n=23), gingivitis (n=24) and…
