Completed
Conditions
Periodontal Diseases
Registration Number
NCT06291454
Lead Sponsor
T.C. ORDU ÜNİVERSİTESİ
Brief Summary

This study aimed to determine CCL19/MIP3beta(β) and CCL20/MIP3alpha(α) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of the patients with different periodontitis phenotypes.

A total of 72 individuals, 24 with Stage III Grade B periodontitis (Group 1), 24 with Stage III Grade C periodontitis (Group 2), and 24 periodontally healthy (control group) (Group 3), were included in the study. GCF and clinical periodontal parameters were obtained at baseline. MIP3β and MIP3α levels in GCF were determined by ELISA.
