Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum levels of Adropin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alfa in patients with periodontitis before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Detailed description
Thirty periodontitis and thirty periodontally healthy individuals were enrolled in the study. Clinical periodontal measurements were recorded; periodontitis patients received non-surgical periodontal treatment, and GCF and serum samples were collected at baseline and at 6 weeks after treatment. Adropin and TNF-alfa were determined by ELISA.
Interventions
Nonsurgical periodontal therapy includes oral hygiene education and scaling and root planning approaches to eliminate microbial dental biofilm that is the primary etiology of periodontal diseases.
