The Short-Term Effects of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy on The Saliva Levels of S100A12, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Fetuin-A in Patients With Gingivitis and Chronic Periodontitis
The Short-Term Effects of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy on The Saliva Levels of S100A12, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Fetuin-A in Patients With Gingivitis and Chronic Periodontitis
Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 are acute phase proteins associated with many systemic diseases and conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical parameters and salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels before and after non-surgical periodontal treatments in the patients with periodontal diseases.
A total of 54 subjects were divided in to three groups; periodontally healthy (n: 18), gingivitis (n: 18), chronic periodontitis (n: 18). Clinical periodontal parameters, salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels and salivary flow rates were evaluated at baseline and a month after the treatments. Salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels were assayed by ELISA.
Inclusion Criteria:
never-smokers no history of systemic disease no patients had been under periodontal therapy and medicine for at least 6 months before the study no pregnancy or lactation no alcohol or antioxidant vitamin consumption.
Exclusion Criteria:
