Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels of Neuropeptides following Dental Restorations

Gingival Crevicular Fluid Biomarkers

Material and Method: Thirty patients were allocated into 3 groups: 10 were treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) only; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive local metronidazole; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive systemic metronidazole. Periodontal clinical parameters including plaque index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth and relative attachment level were r...

Comparison of Interleukin-1β Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Peri-Implant Crevicular Fluid and Its Relationship with Clinical Indexes

OBJECTIVE Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is one of the most important cytokines which seems to have an important role in the inflammatory process in gingival and peri-implant tissues. The aim of this split-mouth study was to investigate the relationship between the concentration of IL-1β in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) and clinical parameters such as plaque i...

Vascular endothelial growth factor in gingival crevicular fluid around dental implants

INTRODUCTION Angiogenesis occurs under physiological and pathological conditions and is regulated by cytokines and growth factors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a multifunctional angiogenic cytokine that plays a significant role in inflammation and immune responses implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory processes in the implant- surrounding tissues. OBJECTIVE The study ...
