A recent study conducted at Istanbul University examined the levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, and IL-35 in individuals with stage III and IV periodontitis compared to periodontally healthy participants. The study found that the periodontitis group had significantly higher levels of IL-6, IL-17, and IL-35 compared to the healthy group. IL-17 levels were positively correlated with pocket depth in the periodontitis group. These findings suggest a potential association between these cytokines and severe and advanced periodontitis. The study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with the identifier NCT05306860. [Extracted from the article] |
