Evaluation of Biomarker Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid of Patients With Different Periodontal Diseases

Not Applicable

Conditions

Interventions
Diagnostic Test: GCF obtaining
Registration Number
NCT04777487
Lead Sponsor
Izmir Katip Celebi University
Brief Summary

Objectives: The aim of this study is; detection of peptidyl arginine deiminase4 (PAD4), galectin-3 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples of periodontally healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients and the possible correlation between these values and clinical parameters of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: Samples of GCF were obtained from 60systemically healthy non-smoker individuals with periodontitis (P, n=20), gingivitis(G, n=20) and healthy periodontium (S, n=20). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine PAD4, galectin-3 and TNF-α levels in the biological samples.
