Brief summary

In the present clinical study including chronic, aggressive periodontitis and healthy individuals, the investigators aimed to determine the RANKL, osteoprotegrin (OPG), Interleukin-1 (IL-1β), IL-10, IL-1β levels in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) before and after surgical periodontal treatment and search out the relationship of clinical parameters with these cytokine levels.
