Hepcidin Levels in Periodontal Health and Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Periodontal disease refers to inflammatory disease of the periodontium caused by the host and/or pathogenic microorganisms. Anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines play a role in the periodontal inflammation process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of hepcidin, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and in serum samples obtained from individuals with periodontal inflammation.

Detailed Description
The study included 90 individuals, who were divided into three groups: periodontally healthy (PH) (n=30); gingivitis (G) (n=30); and chronic periodontitis (CP) (n=30). GCF and serum samples were obtained from each individual, and samples were evaluated using ELISA. Statistical evaluation of the data was performed using the SPSS packet data program.
