Completed
Conditions
Periodontal Diseases
Interventions
Procedure: Nonsurgical periodontal therapy
Registration Number
NCT03507868
Lead Sponsor
Zeynep Pinar KELES
Brief Summary

The primer aim of the study was to investigate saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) YKL-40 and also interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in chronic periodontitis pathogenesis.

Detailed Description

This study consisted of two groups: 26 periodontally healthy individuals and 26 generalized chronic periodontitis patients. Chronic periodontitis patients were received nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Clinical measurements were recorded, saliva and GCF samples were obtained before and at first and third months after periodontal therapy. Levels of YKL-40 and IL-6 in saliva and GCF were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
